Hidden Commander^t¹⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: Sam Coltherd| T: W Coltherd| OR: 114| CD

4/1

Boasts a fine strike rate over fences. Tame effort here recently but might strip fitter for that, so no surprise if he bounces back quickly.

Form: 5131P-7

The Ferry Master^p,t¹⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 11-10| J: Ryan Mania| T: A M Thomson| OR: 110| C

9/2

Progressed very well over fences during 2020/21 campaign, notably finishing fourth in that season's Scottish Grand National. Has subsequently failed to reproduce that level of form but mark continues to fall at least.

Form: 5P38P-6

Exit To Where^p,t¹⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 11-7| J: C O'Farrell| T: I Jardine| OR: 107| CD

11/8

Improved to enhance excellent course record (won this last year) over 23.4f here recently and had a bit to spare, so makes plenty of appeal once more.

Form: 6435P-1

Dolly Dancer^t⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 10-8| J: S Mulqueen| T: M A Barnes| OR: 94

11/4

Has struggled since scoring over 3m here last June but she's potentially well treated and the return to this trip should help.

Form: 5688-P5

Forecasts

Exit To Where (11/8), Dolly Dancer (11/4), Hidden Commander (4/1), The Ferry Master (9/2)

EXIT TO WHERE had something to spare when scoring here last time and the drop back in trip shouldn't pose much of a problem, so he's preferred to Hidden Commander, who is expected to be back on his game.
