Tim Pat^t⁸⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: Theo Gillard| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 110WS

25/1

Completed a hat-trick in early-2022 but without a win since and he's been struggling for form over both sets of obstacles. Very well handicapped if reviving after wind op.

Form: 4-P0857

Oscar Robertson^v1²³

Age: 10| Weight: 12-0| J: Charlie Hammond| T: N Kent| OR: 110| D

22/1

Scored at Wetherby in 2021 for Tom George but has become disappointing and fared no better in first-time cheekpieces behind Port Chaise at Market Rasen latest. Visor now tried.

Form: 2P/4446

Lermoos Legend^p³⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 11-13| J: S Bowen| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 109

14/1

Won 23f handicap chase at Worcester in July. Little impact back from 5 months off at Chepstow 5 weeks ago but could do better with that under his belt.

Form: 31P33P

Post Chaise^b²³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Henry Brooke| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 108| D

11/4

Resumed winning ways in a change of headgear in 3m amateurs' handicap chase at Market Rasen last month, quickening clear after 2 out and well on top finish. Looks an improved model and can figure again.

Form: P-41331

Shot Boii^t,v³³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Jack Tudor| T: D Pipe| OR: 108| D

8/1

Four-time winner over hurdles and scored at the third attempt in handicap chases at Hereford (25.2f) in January. Quickly bounced back from a lesser effort when runner-up at Chepstow (30.6f) last time and he could be thereabouts once more.

Form: 612342

Taste The Fear^b1²⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: R & J & J Insole| OR: 108| D

8/1

Fairly useful winning chaser last season and stepped up on his reappearance when third at Hereford (20.9f, good to soft) in January. Poor twice since, though. Stronger headgear reached for.

Form: 23-R363

Presenting Jeremy^p1¹¹⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 11-11| J: Lorcan Murtagh| T: F P Murtagh| OR: 107

50/1

Made winning Rules debut in a Worcester novice hurdle in spring 2021. Better for chase debut when third over C&D final outing last term but well held both starts for new yard this season having been sold out of Dan Skelton's yard for only £5,500 in May. Headgear on.

Form: 5353-4P

Roger Rarebit^t²⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: Stan Sheppard| T: T Lacey| OR: 107

6/1

Made a winning seasonal/chase debut at Uttoxeter (20f, heavy) in November and back to form after 4 months off when third in gruelling conditions at Exeter. Remains unexposed over fences and one to note back on better ground.

Form: 12U-1P3

Annie Express²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: James Bowen| T: W Greatrex| OR: 104| D

8/1

£35,000 Irish point winner. Some promise over hurdles although disappointing on handicap debut at Exeter 4 weeks ago. Type to make a better chaser.

Form: 61-U24P

Stony Man⁴⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-8| J: James Best| T: G Hanmer| OR: 104

50/1

Bangor maiden hurdle winner over extended 2m in May 2022. Hasn't completed again in 2 runs this season. Tricky to fancy on switch to fences.

Form: 1PUP-PP

Tom Creen^t⁹⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 11-6| J: Jonathan England| T: S England| OR: 102| D

13/2

Good record at Sedgefield (successful twice there in the autumn) and decent placed efforts all 3 starts since, including over C&D latest. Should be in the mix after a 3-month break (boasts an excellent record when fresh).

Form: 2-11232

Shiroccosmagicbaby^t²³

Age: 7| Weight: 10-4| J: G Sheehan| T: Christian Williams| OR: 86| D

9/1

Winning Irish pointer very lightly raced under Rules and shaped with plenty of encouragement tried tongue tied for her debut over fences after 4 months off at Ffos Las recently, the lack of an outing seeming to tell only late on. Can do better up in trip now.

Form: 12-7P03

Daranova^p⁹⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 10-3| J: R T Dunne| T: G Hanmer| OR: 85| D

16/1

Gained two 3m chase wins at Bangor in May 2022 but largely struggled since. Has plummeted down the weights.

Form: PP63P5

Forecasts

Post Chaise (11/4), Roger Rarebit (6/1), Tom Creen (13/2), Taste The Fear (8/1), Annie Express (8/1), Shot Boii (8/1), Shiroccosmagicbaby (9/1), Minella Double (10/1), Lermoos Legend (14/1), Daranova (16/1), Beauvallon Bay (20/1), Oscar Robertson (22/1), Tim Pat (25/1), Stony Man (50/1), Presenting Jeremy (50/1)

POST CHAISE looks an improved model and is taken to defy a career-high mark for his in-form stable. Shiroccosmagicbaby is interesting up in trip after an encouraging start over fences at Ffos Las. Tom Creen and Shot Boii are also considered.
