11/2

Finally got off the mark over fences in 7-runner handicap chase at Carlisle (2m) in October. Respectable efforts both starts this year and the visor is back on now.

Form: 4215-65

9/1

Two of his trio of wins last season came over C&D, with the most recent one coming at Carlisle in March. Not at best here last time but shouldn't be completely dismissed.

Form: 3351P-5

Konik King^t²⁵

4/1

Runner-up on the second of 3 bumper starts and stepped up on previous efforts over obstacles when third over C&D on chasing debut last time. Makes plenty of appeal.

5/2

Latest win in chase at Musselburgh in February. 11/2, good second of 7 in handicap chase at this course (20.1f, good) 14 days ago. Back down in trip.

Form: 812-452

11/1

Back to winning ways with a bit in hand at Sedgefield. Good second at Newcastle next time and back on track when fourth over C&D last month. Merits respect.

Form: 33126-4

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Sean Quinlan| T: M Todhunter| OR: 79

4/1

Fair form in bumpers for Warren Greatrex and left previous jumping efforts behind when second in handicap chase at Cartmel recently. Might do better again and worth considering.

Form: 7/P75-82

Retains little ability nowadays. Likely to struggle.

War At Sea^t¹⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 10-10| J: Jonathon Bewley⁽³⁾| T: G Bewley| OR: 73

14/1

Modest maiden chaser who shaped as if retaining ability on reappearance but followed it with a tame display at Cartmel 17 days ago.

Forecasts

Budarri (5/2), Kicksaftersix (4/1), Konik King (4/1), Check My Pulse (11/2), Going Mobile (9/1), Onenightintown (11/1), War At Sea (14/1), Archive (14/1), Ensel Du Perche (16/1)

KONIK KING stepped up markedly when third on chasing debut over C&D last time and he looks well treated based on what he did in bumpers, so he's preferred to Budarri, who ran well over 20.1f here last time. Kicksftersix is also considered.
