Tide Times²⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 12-2| J: C J Todd| T: Ian Williams| OR: 112

18/1

All 3 of his wins over fences have come at Ludlow (latest in January over C&D) but ran poorly there last 2 starts, including on return. Mark continues to fall at least.

Form: 1P3P-4P

Hipop Des Ongrais⁵⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Harry Kimber⁽³⁾| T: R Walford| OR: 110

9/4

Didn't kick on quite as expected after winning at Fontwell last winter but, having strengthened up over the summer, resumed progress/winning ways there on return. Should continue to give a good account now.

Form: 71833-1

Langley Hundred^t²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: Elizabeth Gale⁽⁷⁾| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 106| BF

11/2

Dual staying handicap hurdle winner last winter but could run no more than respectably in handful of starts thereafter from revised mark. However, made an encouraging chase debut when second at Ludlow on return and promises to be better in this sphere if he can brush up his jumping a bit.

Form: 1P35-52

Pilot Show²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: James Bowen| T: W Greatrex| OR: 105| D

7/2

Point winner who made a successful chase debut in handicap at Catterick (25.3f) last December. Mixed record after but made a positive start to this campaign when second at Stratford and return to further should suit.

Form: 14P63-2

Coral¹⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-8| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams| OR: 104

80/1

Won over fences at Worcester in autumn 2021 but showed nothing on first outing since leaving Fergal O'Brien after 16 months off at Exeter 19 days ago.

Form: P3/244-P

Faustinovick^b,t²¹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-4| J: Freddie Gingell⁽⁵⁾| T: J Tizzard| OR: 100

10/1

Made a winning reappearance at Chepstow last season but below par all 3 starts this term. Becoming well handicapped but others make more appeal still.

Form: 253-357

My Bad Lucy²¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽³⁾| T: N J Gifford| OR: 94

11/1

Point winner who left his previous chase efforts behind when landing Doncaster handicap (3m) in February. Made it 2 wins from last 3 starts with a battling success at Warwick in April, so he could make his presence felt if ready to go on his return.

Form: 536141-

Paseo¹⁹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 10-9| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: Miss V Williams| OR: 91

9/2

Unreliable sort though did win at Ludlow off 2 lb lower on return a year ago. Off 6 months and not taken lightly for in-form yard.

Form: 15266-6

Cobra Commander¹³

Age: 9| Weight: 10-2| J: Benjamin Poste| T: T Symonds| OR: 82

16/1

Showed improved form when winning brace of handicap chases in April 2022 but has drawn a blank since, below form fifth of 14 in handicap chase at Taunton (23f, good to soft) 13 days ago. 2 lb out of handicap.

Form: P4-6V35

Forecasts

Hipop Des Ongrais (9/4), Pilot Show (7/2), Paseo (9/2), Langley Hundred (11/2), Faustinovick (10/1), My Bad Lucy (11/1), Cobra Commander (16/1), Tide Times (18/1), Glance From Clover (20/1), Coral (80/1)

HIPOP DES ONGRAIS is starting to fill his tall frame now and looks set for a good season after his commanding win at Fontwell on his return 6 weeks ago. Langley Hundred made a promising start over fences when second at Ludlow on his comeback and is feared with improvement likely, while there's potential for Paseo to be on a going day returning with his stable in terrific form.
