Doyen Du Bar²²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-10| J: Craig Nichol| T: Miss P Robson| OR: 126| C| D

6/4

Very lightly raced for his age and made his second start over hurdles a winning one when successful at Ayr in December. Defied a penalty when making all in Kelso novice a month later and he has the potential do even better over fences. Respected.

Form: 13/211

Fortescue Wood^t³⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 11-9| J: Danny McMenamin| T: N W Alexander| OR: 125| D

8/1

Bumper winner who made a successful start over hurdles after 20 months off at Ayr last season. Defied a penalty at the second attempt in novice at the same course in February last year, before shaping as if better for the run when fourth at Haydock in December. Makes chase debut.

Form: 14/131-4

Gardener³⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-8| J: Fergus Gregory| T: O Murphy| OR: 124| D

9/2

Making his first start since leaving Alex Hales, improved on his hurdles form when easily winning handicap at Southwell on chase debut in December. Clear when unseating 2 out at Newcastle last time, so he can make amends and resume winning ways.

Form: 214-01U

Carcaci Castle^p1,t³⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: Ryan Mania| T: A M Thomson| OR: 120| D

8/1

Bumper winner in Ireland who also won over hurdles on his first 2 starts for his current yard last season. His form has gone the wrong way since, though, failing to beat a rival at Musselburgh last time. Revival needed as he goes chasing with cheekpieces applied.

Form: 1/11P-P0

Martator^p³⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: Miss V Williams| OR: 117| BF

5/2

Useful winning hurdler in France but below that level for his current yard in 2022/23. However, there have been better signs sent chasing this season, going off a bit harder than ideal when runner-up at Newbury last time. Can go well again with cheekpieces back on.

Form: P6-3322

Forecasts

Doyen Du Bar (6/4), Martator (5/2), Gardener (9/2), Carcaci Castle (8/1), Fortescue Wood (8/1)

GARDENER has shown improved form switched to chasing since joining his current yard, in the process of making it 2 from 2 over fences when departing at Newcastle a month ago, and he remains capable of better in this sphere. He can get the better of Doyen du Bar, who appeals as the type to make a chaser, while Martator can also give another good account.
