Ecossais^t,v³³¹

Age: 9| Weight: 12-2| J: Toby Wynne⁽⁵⁾| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 107

9/2

Had been in good form but below par last 2 starts. Off 11 months and is now 2 lb below last winning mark so one to note.

Form: P24/235-

Marettimo¹⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 12-2| J: Dylan Kitts⁽⁷⁾| T: W G M Turner| OR: 107

5/2

Back to winning ways in 3m handicap chase at Ludlow but just a respectable third there next time.

Form: PP451-3

Ballycross^b⁶³

Age: 12| Weight: 12-0| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: D J Jeffreys| OR: 105

25/1

Veteran who was still capable of fairly useful form over fences around 3m for Nicky Henderson last spring. Hard to get excited about his 3 efforts since joining this yard, though.

Form: P32/946-

Pottlerath^p,t¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: Stan Sheppard| T: M Sheppard| OR: 105| C

11/8

Successful 3 times over hurdles during 2022 and has progressed with each run over fences, off the mark at Worcester with a bit in hand 16 days ago. Remains of interest.

Form: 2P453-1

Dorado Dollar^p¹³

Age: 9| Weight: 10-2| J: Harry Bannister| T: B I Case| OR: 74

9/2

Long-standing maiden who appeared to excel himself from 5 lb out of weights when staying on strongly to take second late on here (3m). Backed that up when runner-up at Huntingdon since but 5 lb out of handicap here.

Form: 53PP2-2

Forecasts

Pottlerath (11/8), Marettimo (5/2), Ecossais (9/2), Dorado Dollar (9/2), Reign Suepreme (8/1), Troed Y Melin (16/1), Ballycross (25/1)

POTTLERATH has progressed with each run over fences and is taken to defy a 7 lb rise having scored with a bit in hand at Worcester. Ecossais is potentially on a good mark on his belated return so is next best ahead of Marettimo.
