Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Caoilin Quinn⁽⁵⁾| T: D G Bridgwater| OR: 94

6/1

Well held in Fontwell handicap won by Arcade Attraction last month but back to form since, runner-up off this mark at Ludlow (2m) last time. Should be in the mix again if performing to a similar level back up in trip. Change of headgear.

Arcade Attraction^p,t⁴⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 11-10| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams| OR: 92| D

10/1

Poor initially this season but returned to form when scoring in first-time cheekpieces at Fontwell (19.5f) last month. That form is decent (second and fourth have both win since) so needs considering despite 7 lb rise.

Form: 5-606P1

Family Pot^p,t³⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-10| J: Sean Houlihan| T: Sheila Lewis| OR: 92| CD

16/5

Arrives at the top of his game having won his last 2 starts here, defying a penalty over this trip when beating On The Platform by 1¾ lengths. That rival 3 lb better off here so there shouldn't be much between them.

Form: 136311

Supasunrise^p1³²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: Finn Lambert⁽⁵⁾| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 88

11/2

Mixed record over hurdles but opened account in this sphere when taking Huntingdon handicap (19.9f) on Boxing Day. Solid third at Hereford (20.9f, heavy) next time but needs to shrug off a poor run at Lingfield. Headgear on.

Form: 324138

Blazer's Mill^p,t⁴⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 11-4| J: W T Kennedy| T: S-J Davies| OR: 86

50/1

Went backwards for Olly Murphy after scoring over hurdles in 2020 and no real signs of a revival in 3 starts for present yard. Mark continues to fall at least.

Form: 4-24345

On The Platform¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: J Groucott| OR: 85

11/5

Returned lame at Ludlow but showed no ill effects when good second over C&D and at Huntingdon and should be on the premises again.

Form: 42-5522

Master Mikey Dee⁵⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 10-6| J: Harry Reed| T: Mrs R Ford| OR: 74

14/1

Fortunate winner at Taunton on chase debut a year ago but hasn't been able to match that form since, though latest third-place finish at Fontwell in January was one of his better efforts.

Form: 713-653

Forecasts

On The Platform (11/5), Family Pot (16/5), Supasunrise (11/2), Pawpaw (6/1), Natty Night (15/2), Arcade Attraction (10/1), Master Mikey Dee (14/1), Kenyan Cowboy (20/1), Blazer's Mill (50/1)

FAMILY POT arrives in the form of his life having won his last 2 starts here so is taken to complete the hat-trick. On The Platform was just under 2 lengths behind the selection over C&D on his penultimate start and is 3 lb better off here, so is the obvious threat, while Arcade Attraction also needs considering after his good win at Fontwell.
