2/1

Opened his chase account at Sedgefield (19.3f) last October and continued in good form thereafter, making the frame on several occasions before posting a fine seventh from out of the handicap in Scottish National in April. Big player.

Age: 9| Weight: 11-8| J: P W Wadge⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 114| BF| C

7/2

Consistent performer who scored here (23.4f) in November and made the frame on his next 3 starts. Yet to be asked for effort when all but coming down at Perth when last seen in April and warrants respect first time up here.

The Vollan^v³

Age: 9| Weight: 11-6| J: Lewis Dobb⁽⁷⁾| T: L Morgan| OR: 112| C

13/2

Registered fourth victory of 2022 in a 4-runner handicap (23.4f) at this course in October but has struggled for form more recently. Likely best watched despite an attractive mark.

Form: 77P-P43

Hoganville⁴³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Jonathon Bewley| T: G Bewley| OR: 112| CD

7/1

Has done well in handicap hurdles for this yard, scoring for a fourth time at this course (22.7f) in May. Below form in a couple of outings in August, however, and has something to prove sent chasing now.

Form: 3P-1356

Camp Belan^v1¹⁷⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: D R Fox| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 108| CD

5/2

Thorough stayer who got off the mark over C&D in November. However, he proved rather inconsistent subsequently and would likely prefer more testing conditions. Visor added for first time.

Forecasts

Half Shot (2/1), Do No Wrong (2/1), Camp Belan (5/2), Destiny Is All (7/2), The Vollan (13/2), Hoganville (7/1), Methodtothemadness (8/1)

DO NO WRONG proved better than ever when scoring at Uttoxeter last time and makes plenty of appeal in his hat-trick bid with Brian Hughes up. Half Shot and Destiny Is All rate the principal dangers.
