14/1

Finally got off the mark back at a more realistic level in 6-runner handicap chase at Ludlow (20f, good) in May, putting her experience to good use under a positive ride. Up 6 lb and off since.

9/4

A fair winning hurdler who arrives in good nick over fences, again finding only one too good in 5-runner Chepstow handicap (19.5f) 2 weeks ago. Can figure again in this groove.

5/1

Fairly useful maiden chaser in France for David Cottin but just respectable efforts at best for this yard, running one of this season's lesser races when last of 4 in handicap chase at Leicester (15.9f, heavy) 24 days ago.

1/1

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) 24 days ago. 10 lb higher now but that looks justified. Big shout.

Forecasts

Bonza Boy (1/1), Walkinthewoods (9/4), It's Easy (5/1), Trapista (12/1), Lost Connections (14/1)

BONZA BOY is coming good over fences now and still looks on a handy mark despite a 10 lb rise for his wide-margin win at Exeter. Walkinthewoods can fill the runner-up spot once again.
