11/10

Building up a solid record over fences, winning on 3m Wetherby reappearance. Far from disgraced from 12 lb out of the handicap when fourth in Welsh National at Chepstow next time, albeit beaten a distance. More of an impact off proper mark when third in Surrey National at Lingfield since.

Form: 13-1343

7/4

Bumper winner who displayed fair form over fences in France last year. Similar form starting out for this yard after 3 months off when fourth at Carlisle 4 weeks ago and entitled to come on for that.

Forecasts

Not Sure (11/10), Rouge De L'quest (11/8), Jacks Parrot (7/4), Shanty Alley (10/3), Glance From Clover (10/3)

French-recruit JACKS PARROT made a decent start for this yard back from 3 months off when fourth at Carlisle and is potentially on a handy mark if building on that. Rouge de L'Quest responded well to a tongue strap when a comfortable winner at Ffos Las on Sunday so is feared most under a penalty.
