Off time: 15:15 | Winning time: 6m 16.30s

Bridge North³⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: T J O'Brien| T: H D Daly| OR: 127

4/1

Very useful hurdler who made a winning start over fences in 3-runner handicap chase at Newbury (23.4f, soft) 35 days ago. This demands more but he has more to offer so needs considering.

Form: 5-5P751

Captain Quint²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: C O'Farrell| T: R Dobbin| OR: 122| BF

11/4

Won on chase debut at Hexham in November and added to that in a match at Ayr in March. Unseated fifth in 2m4f handicap here two days ago so he's worth another chance off a handy-looking mark.

Form: 33215U

Readysteadybeau^v⁴⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-11| J: P W Wadge⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 112| BF| D

11/4

Fair 3m hurdles winner who scored at the fourth attempt over fences at Ayr (21.5f) in February. Visored and looking second best when falling last in match there last time so needs to brush up his jumping.

Form: P-3451F

Here Comes The Man¹³

Age: 8| Weight: 10-11| J: Danny McMenamin| T: R Dobbin| OR: 112| D

11/4

Points winner who left his hurdling form well behind when making a winning chasing debut in 7-runner handicap at Newcastle (23.4f, good to soft) 13 days ago. Looks to have plenty more to offer. Big shout.

Form: 6655-21

Wild Polly²⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 10-5| J: Dylan Johnston⁽⁷⁾| T: R Dobbin| OR: 103| D

14/1

Fair 2m4f winner over hurdles in 2020 but lightly raced since and pulled up on her belated chasing debut in handicap at Carlisle (20f) 20 days ago after a bad error at the 10th. Has it to prove now.

Form: 123/64P

Forecasts

Readysteadybeau (11/4), Captain Quint (11/4), Here Comes The Man (11/4), Kakamora (4/1), Bridge North (4/1), Universal Folly (7/1), Everyday Champagne (10/1), Wild Polly (14/1), Return Fire (14/1)

HERE COMES THE MAN created an excellent impression when making a winning chasing debut at Newcastle so Rose Dobbin's son of Flemensfirth is fancied to defy a 8 lb rise and make it 2-2 in this sphere. Bridge North also went in at the first time of asking in this sphere at Newbury and is feared most ahead of the handily-weighted Captain Quint and Huntingdon-scorer Kakamora.
