Classic Maestro22
Age: 6|  Weight: 12-0| J: Luke Scott(5)| T: J Candlish| OR:  114| BF
Progressive over hurdles, winning handicaps at Uttoxeter/Newcastle and solid start over fences when second of 6 on handicap chase debut at Lingfield (2m) 22 days ago. Winner that day has scored since and he's proven at this longer trip. Shortlisted.

Age: 7|  Weight: 11-6| J: Robert Williams(3)| T: B J Llewellyn| OR:  106| D
Fairly useful form over hurdles and similar form over fences for Gordon Elliott but offered little in trio of starts over both sets of obstacles for new yard to date. Mark in freefall but can only be watched until showing more.

Age: 7|  Weight: 11-4| J: Isabel Williams(3)| T: Evan Williams| OR:  104| C
A fair winning hurdler who arrives in good nick over fences, again finding only one too good in 5-runner Chepstow handicap (19.5f) 3 weeks ago. Can figure again in this groove.

Dual hurdles winner who took well to fitting of cheekpieces when runner-up over hurdles at Leicester (15.5f) in January but headgear didn't work so well at Lingfield the following month. Switch to chasing needs to have positive effect with cheekpieces again enlisted.

Bonza Boyp7(ex 7)
Age: 7|  Weight: 10-12| J: Lorcan Williams| T: J Scott| OR:  91| D
Didn't kick on from a promising start over hurdles but got back on track over fences this year, building on his Exeter second in January when registering a comfortable first success back at that venue (19.2f, heavy) 7 days ago. Big shout under a penalty.

Forecasts

Bonza Boy (6/4), Classic Maestro (15/8), Walkinthewoods (4/1), Double Click (7/1), Jack In The Box (33/1)

Verdict

CLASSIC MAESTRO and Bonza Boy arrive here firmly at the top of their game and look the pair to focus on. The former, who bumped into one patently ahead of its mark at Lingfield 3 weeks ago, is narrowly selected to come out on top. Walkinthewoods rates best of the others.
