15/2

Down in grade/back to form when scoring unchallenged in 9-runner handicap at Southwell last time. Should go well again under a penalty.

Form: 43P431

Divine Inspiration³⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 12-2| J: Harry Bannister| T: R Bandey| OR: 102| D

13/8

Irish point winner who has showed just modest form over hurdles but promises to up his game over this longer trip/fences on handicap debut. Not ruled out.

Form: 21-409

Where's Hector^h³²

Age: 6| Weight: 12-2| J: B S Hughes| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 102| BF

9/2

Consistent over hurdles last season and by no means disgraced starting out over fences when placed at Catterick and Ayr. In the mix eased 1 lb.

Form: 23-7732

No Regrets^p1²¹

Age: 9| Weight: 12-0| J: Sean Quinlan| T: N G Richards| OR: 100

6/1

Fairly useful winner at 20f over hurdles and back to form having slipped in the weights when second in handicap chase at Ayr 3 weeks ago. One to note in first-time cheekpieces.

Form: 7/64792

Chris Cool^p²⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Fergus Gregory| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 100| BF

9/1

Made a successful debut over hurdles at Bangor in 2021 and clearly learnt plenty from chasing debut to match that form when runner-up at this track (24.2f, good) in January. Disappointing last time but too soon to write off.

Form: 0F4P26

Le Grand Vert^p¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: C O'Farrell| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 92

12/1

Hurdles winner in France in summer 2021. No impact over hurdles for this yard but fared much better switched to chasing when second at Newcastle last time. Respected.

Form: F448-02

Mexican Boy²⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Harry Skelton| T: O Murphy| OR: 90

13/2

Still looking for first success and has underperformed on his last two starts, so others make more appeal.

Form: P-65255

Divine Inspiration (13/8), Where's Hector (9/2), No Regrets (6/1), Mexican Boy (13/2), Rostello (15/2), Chris Cool (9/1), Le Grand Vert (12/1), Aire Valley Lad (12/1), Ballynagran (20/1)

ROSTELLO bounced back in no uncertain terms when scoring at Southwell 11 days ago and he's expected to go well again. Point winner Divine Inspiration could prove a different proposition now switched to chasing, so he's regarded as a danger along with the well treated No Regrets.
