Age: 6| Weight: 12-1| J: Luke Scott⁽⁵⁾| T: J Candlish| OR: 111| D

1/1

Progressive over hurdles, winning his last 2 starts at Uttoxeter and Newcastle. Placed in an Irish point and will take all the beating if transferring recent hurdles improvement over to fences.

Brulure Noire⁷¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Harry Bannister| T: R Bandey| OR: 108| BF| D

10/1

Landed Ffos Las handicap chase (2m) for second year in succession in November, produced to lead before last and asserting quickly run-in. However, proved disappointing at Leicester 10 weeks ago and he'll need to leave that well behind.

Form: 15P3-13

Unit Sixtyfour^p1,t⁶¹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-10| J: Ben Jones| T: B Pauling| OR: 106| D

5/1

Improved since tongue tied, winning handicap chases at Warwick/Fontwell last winter. Clearly wasn't 100% when beaten a long way at Kelso in March but might have needed comeback run at Newcastle. Headgear on.

Form: 21138-U

Doyouknowwhatimean²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 98

11/2

Still a maiden but more of an impact off reduced mark when third at Ffos Las 3 weeks ago and eased another 2 lb since. Player.

Form: 4-24353

Walk In The Wild^t1,v1⁶⁵

7/1

Made the perfect start sent chasing last season, winning his first 2 starts. Has lost his way somewhat but is at least becoming well handicapped as a result. Down in trip after wind op. Visor/tongue strap on 1st time.

Form: P24-U44

Executive Pool^b⁷³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: Caoilin Quinn⁽³⁾| T: G & J Moore| OR: 85| D

12/1

Struggling for form over hurdles and was let down by jumping on his chasing debut at Lingfield 73 days ago. Hard to make a case for.

Form: 01-58P7

Forecasts

Classic Maestro (1/1), Unit Sixtyfour (5/1), Doyouknowwhatimean (11/2), Walk In The Wild (7/1), Brulure Noire (10/1), Limetree Boy (12/1), Executive Pool (12/1)

CLASSIC MAESTRO is improving all the time, overcoming errors when scoring with something in hand at Newcastle last week, and the hat-trick beckons off the same mark if taking to fences at the first attempt. Doyouknowwhatimean is feared most ahead of Unit Sixtyfour.
