10/3

Kings Justice^p,t²³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Toby Wynne⁽³⁾| T: S Allwood| OR: 84

3/1

Off the mark at Catterick in December and remained in good form since, keeping on well for second at Hereford (20.9f) 23 days ago. Nudged up 4 lb on the back of that but he's a likely player again.

15/2

Won twice over fences last summer (including here) and best effort since when second over 2m here in February. May of found the race coming too soon when fifth at Catterick later that month and no surprise to see a better showing returned to this venue.

Form: 77P225-

School For Scandal^p⁴¹

Age: 9| Weight: 10-7| J: H Cobden| T: J Tickle| OR: 77

11/4

Not the most reliable but bounced back to form, in first-time cheekpieces, when second of 10 in handicap chase at Hereford (20.9f) in February. Not disgraced on back of a wind op when fourth back there in March and he's not out of things.

Form: 29P724-

Stop This Train^t³⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 10-2| J: N F Houlihan| T: Mrs S J Humphrey| OR: 66

14/1

Placed once from 4 starts in Irish points but has little form under Rules. Passed over operating from out of the weights.

Form: P74745-

Noah's Light^p,t¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-2| J: Lewis Stones⁽³⁾| T: Mrs R Ford| OR: 66

5/1

Hurdles winner in Ireland for Declan Queally but little to shout about over fences for current stable and he's hard to fancy operating out of the weights.

Form: P47P37-

Forecasts

William Ewart (5/2), School For Scandal (11/4), Kings Justice (3/1), Kankin (10/3), Fast Deal (7/2), Noah's Light (5/1), Go Fox (15/2), Stop This Train (14/1)

KINGS JUSTICE is proving consistent, which counts for plenty at this level, runner-up at Hereford 23 days ago, and he looks a live player again despite edging up the weights a little more. Go Fox goes well here and is respected back from a break for all he's winless at this trip, with William Ewart another in the mix.
