11/2

Highly progressive as a novice chaser, racking up a 4-timer, but not at the same level in his 3 starts last season. After 6 months off, probably needed the run when well held at Newbury 10 days ago, but others still more persuasive at present.

Form: 1/52P-P8

Max Dynamo^h,t²¹⁴

Age: 13| Weight: 11-1| J: James Best| T: Mrs E Bishop| OR: 118| C

6/1

Veteran who was a wide-margin winner after 10 months off at Chepstow (26.2f) in February. Ran well for long way in Midlands National next time, but lesser effort on his latest outing at Cheltenham in April. Major player on his return.

Form: 13P/160-

Wake Up Early^b¹³

Age: 9| Weight: 10-12| J: Cillin Leonard⁽⁵⁾| T: Dr R D P Newland| OR: 115| D

7/2

Recorded third win for this yard at Sedgefield (27f) in March and ran well on his first 2 starts this season, finding only a progressive type too strong at Wincanton (25.1f) in October. Not in the same form 13 days ago, but no surprise to see him bounce back.

Form: 218-329

Gerico Ville^p²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 10-10| J: Rex Dingle| T: C Gordon| OR: 113

11/5

Made it 2 wins from 3 starts when digging deep in handicap hurdle at Plumpton (25f) in March, though pulled up next time. After 7 months off, ridden more patiently when sixth of 9 at Huntingdon on chase debut 20 days ago, so he could yet do better over fences.

Form: 3121P-6

Forecasts

Gerico Ville (11/5), Tommie Beau (3/1), Wake Up Early (7/2), Movethechains (11/2), Max Dynamo (6/1)

MAX DYNAMO proved better than ever after 10 months off with a wide-margin success at Chepstow earlier this year and he can make another winning return this time around. Tommie Beau arrives in good form having won the Durham National last month and isn't taken lightly, with Wake Up Early the pick of the remainder.
