4/1

Better than ever sent chasing for his current yard this season, making all in novice handicap at Taunton last month. Too bad to be true at Sandown since so expected to bounce back with tongue strap re-fitted.

Form: 35-F21P

Age: 8| Weight: 11-10| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: Miss V Williams| OR: 116

9/1

Fair hurdler/chaser in France for Guillaume Macaire and made a winning start for this yard on the back of a lengthy absence at Ludlow (20f) 13 months ago. Failed to complete in 2 subsequent starts last season, however, and soon done with despite being well backed at Ascot on return in November.

Form: 32/1PF-6

Chance A Tune¹⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 11-2| J: James Turner⁽⁷⁾| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 108

9/2

Confirmed promise of reappearance run when successful over hurdles at Chepstow (2m, heavy) in October. Below par twice in December but made a respectable belated debut in this sphere when fourth at Ludlow and extra distance should suit.

Form: 314664

Abingworth¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: Caoilin Quinn⁽³⁾| T: G & J Moore| OR: 107| BF

6/4

Progressive over fences, off the mark at Taunton (18.2f, good to soft) on third start. Only just denied back from a break at Ludlow since and fancied to resume winning ways.

Form: 16-4212

Samtara^h,t³⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 10-10| J: S Bowen| T: M Keighley| OR: 102| CD

7/2

Seems to have lost his way this season and returns to chasing with a bit to prove.

Form: 412-P75

Forecasts

Abingworth (6/4), Samtara (7/2), Keep Running (4/1), Chance A Tune (9/2), Fire Dancer (9/1)

The progressive ABINGWORTH is fancied to resume winning ways after his narrow defeat at Ludlow. Keep Running's latest effort at Sandown was too bad to be true so he can be expected to bounce back and emerge as the biggest threat to the selection.
