Viva Lavilla^p1⁸⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Bridget Andrews| T: D Skelton| OR: 122| BF

11/2

Point/hurdles winner who posted his best effort over fences when third of 5 in handicap chase at Wetherby (19.5f, soft) In January. Cheekpieces on first time. Thereabouts if reacting positively to the headgear.

Form: 242-4F3

Garincha^p²⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Joe Anderson⁽⁷⁾| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 120

4/1

Dual chase winner this season. Had a possible excuse (badly hampered eleventh) when a remote fourth at Taunton last time and treated as if still in form.

Form: 3-14F14

Eaton Collina²³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-10| J: R Patrick| T: Kerry Lee| OR: 118| D

1/1

It's all clicked for him over fences this spring, opening his account at Chepstow in late February and following up over 21f at Ascot 23 days ago. A further 6 lb rise is unlikely to prevent him making a bold bid for the hat-trick.

Form: 34U511

Marco Island^b³⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Rex Dingle| T: A J Honeyball| OR: 113

6/1

Bumper winner who opened his hurdles account at the second attempt at Chepstow (19.5f) last February. Looked an interesting one for handicaps after that but has disappointing switched to fences this season. Still early days but something to prove for now.

Form: 121-6P

King Turgeon^b,t¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Jack Tudor| T: D Pipe| OR: 110

10/1

Placed both starts over fences in France. Back on track following a wind op when scoring at Fontwell (21.5f, soft) last month but he disappointed when a remote fifth at Exeter since. First-time blinkers replace cheekpieces now.

Form: 7-22716

Forecasts

Eaton Collina (1/1), Jazz King (3/1), Garincha (4/1), Viva Lavilla (11/2), Marco Island (6/1), Wewillgowithplanb (6/1), King Turgeon (10/1), Lady Of The Night (14/1)

An interesting novice handicap. JAZZ KING is open to improvement on the back of his comfortable Ludlow chase debut success and can make light of a 7 lb rise. Wewillgowithplanb is another who likely has more to offer in this sphere and may provide the chief threat ahead of the hat-trick seeking Eaton Collina.
