Angels Breath⁸⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 12-0| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: S Thomas| OR: 147| D

15/2

Won both his chase starts for Nicky Henderson at Ascot in 2019, showing smart form in process. Pulled up in Silviniaco Conti Chase at Kempton on his comeback in January but handily weighted if he gets back on track here.

Form: 27311/P

Eclair D'Ainay^p,t¹²

Age: 9| Weight: 11-8| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 141| CD

10/3

C&D winner who had a simple task (cheekpieces on for 1st time) in 3-runner novice hurdle at Market Rasen (16.6f, soft) 12 days ago. This smart chaser is not ruled out back over fences.

Form: 122-361

Friend Or Foe^p⁴⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-1| J: Freddie Gingell⁽⁷⁾| T: P F Nicholls| OR: 134| CD

7/4

Useful handicapper who won twice on his debut season over fences. Winless in 4 outings so far this campaign, fair third from 3 lb higher mark over C&D 44 days ago. Much respected.

Form: 13-7533

Not Available^t,v1¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 10-7| J: S Bowen| T: M Sheppard| OR: 126| CD

5/2

Scored at Wincanton and followed up off 6 lb higher mark over C&D. Breast-girth reportedly snapped when fourth of 7 in handicap chase at Newbury (16.4f) 16 days ago so he's no discounted with visor on for 1st time.

Form: 3P3114

Earth Company⁹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-6| J: Sean Houlihan| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 125| D

8/1

Successful twice from 4 starts over hurdles last season and posted his best run over fences when second of 4 in handicap chase at Taunton (16f, soft) 91 days ago. This demands another step forward, though.

Form: 119-6F2

Forecasts

Friend Or Foe (7/4), Not Available (5/2), Eclair D'Ainay (10/3), Angels Breath (15/2), Earth Company (8/1)

ECLAIR D'AINAY quickly reverts to fences after completing a simple task over hurdles and this smart C&D winner is taken to edge out the consistent Friend Or Foe who might have to settle for a place once more. Lightly-raced Angels Breath is weighted to have a say if getting back on track so can't be dismissed either.
