Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: Jack Hogan⁽⁵⁾| T: F O'Brien| OR: 100

11/2

Won at Huntingdon in October but refused last at Fakenham next time. Looked rusty after 8 months off when fifth of 6 in handicap chase at Uttoxeter (20.9f, good) 13 days ago. Can do better now.

Form: 32F1R-5

Classic Concorde²⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 11-13| J: C Brace| T: D Brace| OR: 99| D

9/2

Fair winning chaser for Andrew McNamara. Multiple winning pointer, finished alone last time (May 28).

Form: P31-141

Dindin^b,t¹²

Age: 10| Weight: 11-9| J: Jack Tudor| T: D Pipe| OR: 95

10/1

Scored at Wincanton in March and largely in good form since, third of 8 in handicap chase at Market Rasen (19.2f, good) 12 days ago. Back up in trip and needs considering.

Form: 3123-43

Corrany^b²⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 11-6| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: R T Phillips| OR: 92

7/1

33/1, tenth of 14 in handicap chase at Chepstow (26.2f, good) 54 days ago. Blinkers back on. It's now 15 runs since his last win in 2021.

Form: 223P0-V

Reign Suepreme^p,t1³⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: James Davies| T: Mrs N S Evans| OR: 86

17/2

Point winner. Hasn't progressed as might have been hoped under Rules and was a remote fifth at Ffos Las last month. Tongue strap goes on for 1st time.

Form: PB833-5

Tom O'Roughley^b,t¹³

Age: 8| Weight: 10-10| J: Lorcan Murtagh| T: Sheila Lewis| OR: 82| CD

5/1

C&D winner who shaped as if still in good form (in third) when unseated rider 4 out in handicap chase at Ffos Las (23.8f, good) 13 days ago. Can give a good account.

Form: 6514-1U

Deadly Missile⁴⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: Benjamin Poste| T: Mrs R Gasson| OR: 72

4/1

A winner between the flags but only poor form shown over hurdles and when fifth on his chasing bow in 3m Uttoxeter handicap last time. Lots more is required from 2 lb out of the handicap.

Form: 1/8089-5

Justshortofabubble^p,t²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: Conor Ring⁽³⁾| T: G Harris| OR: 69

15/2

Long-standing maiden who came in a remote third in handicap chase at Newton Abbot (21f, good) 21 days ago. It's easy to look elsewhere.

Form: 8399-73

Chain Smoker^b¹³

Age: 10| Weight: 10-2| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽³⁾| T: G Howell| OR: 64

50/1

His sole win came in 2020 and only fourth of 5 in handicap chase at Ffos Las (19.4f, good) 13 days ago. Hard to make a case for from 10 lb out of the handicap.

Form: 3PP-564

Baily Gorse^v¹³

Age: 9| Weight: 10-2| J: James Best| T: Miss L Blackford| OR: 64

28/1

25/1 and visored for 1st time, below-form third of 7 in handicap chase at Ffos Las (23.8f, good) 13 days ago. Remains a maiden after 26 runs.

Form: 2/646-P3

Forecasts

Deadly Missile (4/1), Classic Concorde (9/2), Tom O'Roughley (5/1), Getthepot (11/2), Corrany (7/1), Justshortofabubble (15/2), Oceans Red (15/2), Reign Suepreme (17/2), Dindin (10/1), Tudors Treasure (25/1), Baily Gorse (28/1), Chain Smoker (50/1)

OCEANS RED wasn't seen to best effect when fifth at Bangor last time out and this three-time scorer over fences is worth siding with to resume winning ways on the back of breathing surgery. Dindin is a reliable sort and seems sure to have a say, with C&D winner Tom O'Roughley another to consider in an open handicap.
