Movethechains^b¹⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 12-2| J: Rob Hargreaves⁽⁷⁾| T: G & J Moore| OR: 122

9/1

All 5 career victories have come at Lingfield, the latest when enhancing his yard's good record in the Surrey National (28.8f) in January. Respectable third back at that venue a month later and probably best not judged on his hurdles run earlier this month.

Form: 83U134

Silver In Disguise^p,t³⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 11-9| J: Alan Johns| T: Tim Vaughan| OR: 115| C

4/1

Scored at Wetherby (24.2f) this time last year prior to a big effort when second in the Highland National at Perth (30.5f). Mixed bag in handful of starts so far this term but his mark is easing all the time if he can shrug off a lesser effort at Lingfield in February.

Form: 2-P3P55

Golden Sovereign^p²⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 11-9| J: M G Nolan| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 115

10/1

Opened chase account at Wincanton on final start of 2020/21 campaign and placed both completed starts at that course last term. However, he hasn't put his best foot forward in 3 starts since returning to action in December and he needs to bounce back.

Form: 32U-453

Shot Boii^t,v¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Jack Tudor| T: D Pipe| OR: 108

9/2

Healthy strike rate over hurdles (4-14) and scored at the third attempt in this sphere at Hereford (25.2f, soft) in January. Good second at Warwick next time but hasn't been foot perfect in the jumping department in 2 starts since. Still, not out of things tackling this marathon trip.

Form: 461234

Lyrical Genius^b²⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: Lily Pinchin| T: C E Longsdon| OR: 107

5/1

Has an unattractive style (takes plenty of riding) and record stands at 0-9 over fences, disappointing when tailed-off fourth in Devon National at Exeter (30.7f, heavy) in February. Needs to get back on track.

Form: P3-2244

Leissieres Express³³

Age: 7| Weight: 10-13| J: Lorcan Williams| T: J Scott| OR: 105| BF

13/8

Much improved switched to chasing, off the mark at Exeter (24.2f) on New Year's Day. Unseated at this venue next start but quickly back on track when third at Wincanton (25f) 33 days ago. Overall record in this sphere is solid and increase in trip now may help. Respected.

Form: P-231U3

Forecasts

Leissieres Express (13/8), Silver In Disguise (4/1), Shot Boii (9/2), Lyrical Genius (5/1), Movethechains (9/1), Golden Sovereign (10/1)

LEISSIERES EXPRESS has taken well to the switch to chasing, opening his account at Exeter in January, and lines up here on the back of a good third at Wincanton 33 days ago. Still unexposed granted this sort of test, he could be worth siding with to continue the good work. Movethechains and Shot Boii are others to consider.
