Baldur's Gate⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 10-4| J: Rachael Blackmore| T: Miss D O'Shea| OR: 108

2/1

Off the mark in handicap chase at Punchestown in November. Creditable third of 11 in handicap chase (5/1) at Limerick (22.6f, heavy) 8 days ago, travelling best. Shortlist material.

Form: 523-P13

Weihnachts^p,t³⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 10-0| J: Simon Torrens| T: P J Rothwell| OR: 101| CD

4/1

Won this from a similar mark last season. Much more miss than hit since but he might have been targeted at this race again. All the more interesting if backed.

Form: 57-7P36

Forecasts

Baldur's Gate (2/1), Weihnachts (4/1), Old Soul (9/2), Time To Rocco (11/2), R'evelyn Pleasure (13/2), Street Value (13/2)

BALDUR'S GATE impressed with the way he travelled for a long way when third at Limerick last week, suggesting he could still be on the up. Last year's winner Weihnachts might have been aimed for this race again and is feared most, particularly if the market speaks in his favour.
