Ladronne^t⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 12-0| J: William Maggs⁽⁷⁾| T: T Collier| OR: 110

11/8

Looked on good terms with himself when resuming winning ways at Doncaster (3¼m, soft) recently. Hard to be sure that he would've won had the second not hit the last but he escapes a penalty for that and again has the assistance of up-and-coming conditional William Maggs.

Form: 442P31

Almazhar Garde^p,t²⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 11-11| J: Paul O'Brien| T: C E Longsdon| OR: 107

9/2

Losing run stretches back to 2021 and while he posted his best effort for a while when runner-up at Doncaster (3m, heavy) last time, he was comprehensively outpointed by the winner.

Form: 306P62

Deep Charm²⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 11-8| J: Sam Coltherd| T: W Coltherd| OR: 104| CD

9/2

Pulled up on return in November but much better since, scoring over this C&D and at Musselburgh prior to a near miss when bidding for the hat-trick at Kelso. Didn't help himself with a catalogue of mistakes at Ayr last time but will be a threat back here granted an error-free round of jumping.

Croagh Patrick^t²¹⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-2| J: Jonathan England| T: S England| OR: 98

7/1

It's been almost 2 years since he last got his head in front but hard to fault in terms of consistency, placed in all but one of his 11 starts in 2023. Versatile ground-wise and remains on a feasible mark, so should have a part to play if it's all systems go following a 7-month break.

Derwent Dealer^p⁶²

Age: 8| Weight: 10-2| J: C O'Farrell| T: D Brooke| OR: 80WS

4/1

Just modest in bumpers and hasn't shown a great deal over hurdles either, so it's hard to be enthusiastic about his chances now switched to fences. Has undergone a wind op.

Forecasts

Ladronne (11/8), Derwent Dealer (4/1), Deep Charm (9/2), Almazhar Garde (9/2), Croagh Patrick (7/1)

With no penalty to carry for his Doncaster success nine days ago, LADRONNE will surely take plenty of stopping, In fact, he's effectively 4 lb lower here as William Maggs is able to utilise his full claim this time. The ultra-reliable Croagh Patrick has been absence since last August but he could be the one to follow the selection home ahead of Deep Charm.
