Age: 9|  Weight: 11-10| J: J J Burke| T: Noel Williams| OR:  127
Fairly useful winner at 21f over hurdles but not seen since April 2022 and market may prove best guide to claims on return/chase debut.

Age: 9|  Weight: 11-5| J: R Patrick| T: Kerry Lee| OR:  122
Irish import who made a good start for this yard in 2022/23, placing twice prior to scoring in decisive fashion over hurdles at Ffos Las. Looked rusty back over fences on return in November and no surprise to see an improved showing here.

Won 5 on the spin over hurdles last year and ran better than on chasing bow when fourth of 7 in handicap at Plumpton (19.8f, good to soft, 28/1) 29 days ago. Not out of things.

Age: 7|  Weight: 11-1| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR:  118| CD
Off the mark over C&D on chase debut last month and far from disgraced when fourth in stronger contest at Newbury since. Player.

Age: 7|  Weight: 11-0| J: Robert Williams(3)| T: B J Llewellyn| OR:  117| D
Fairly useful form over hurdles and similar form over fences for Gordon Elliott but offered little on debut for new yard at Ffos Las last month. New headgear tried.

Big Blue Moon299
Age: 7|  Weight: 10-5| J: Stan Sheppard| T: T Lacey| OR:  106| BF
Improved when making a winning handicap debut over hurdles at Carlisle (17f) in March. Turned over when odds on to follow up at this course 4 days later but that was still a creditable effort and he appeals as the type to make a chaser. 2 lb out of the weights.

Forecasts

Ballycamus (2/1), Big Blue Moon (11/4), Speech Bubble (3/1), Kings Keeper (7/1), Mullinaree (10/1), Jack In The Box (16/1)

Verdict

C&D winner BALLYCAMUS returns to an easier grade and can register his second success over fences. Chase debutant Big Blue Moon may provide the chief threat.
