7/4

Successful in handicap chases at Fontwell and over C&D last season. Had lost his form but ran his best race for a while when second from the front in small-field amateurs' contest at Fontwell last week. Big shout if backing that up.

Form: 54-6P92

11/10

Veteran chaser who has shown he retains a fair bit of ability in 2 runs back in handicaps this term, third in well-run useful Kempton contest 18 days ago. This is easier and he has leading claims.

Form: 55/43-63

Out The Glen^t³⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 11-2| J: Lewis Stones⁽⁵⁾| T: O Murphy| OR: 106| CD

7/2

Improved performer in the second half of last season, bagging a trio of handicap chases, the final one over C&D. Fair runs this term 13 weeks apart, likely to have been placed had he jumped the last successfully at Hereford 5 weeks ago.

Form: 3211-3F

Forecasts

Not Another Muddle (11/10), Luckofthedraw (7/4), Out The Glen (7/2)

NOT ANOTHER MUDDLE wasn't beaten far in the Grand Annual on this day 4 years ago and still retains a fair bit of ability judged on his 2 runs this term. This could become tactical but he surely has enough in the tank to notch up a belated success if building on his Kempton effort.
