11/4

Better than ever when winning back to back at Sedgefield (Durham National) and Fontwell (Southern National) in the autumn. Another fine effort when third in Eider at Newcastle (33f, soft) but ran poorly in Scottish National final start. Type to bounce back.

5/1

Often let down by jumping for Gordon Elliott so best to look elsewhere unless the betting hints otherwise.

9/2

Lost his way for Gordon Elliott. Took a step back in the right direction when third of 7 over 3½m at Ffos Las on yard debut but disinclined to exert himself in the Scottish Grand National at Ayr next time. This much less demanding at least. Ran in void race May 10.

Form: 0PP3P-V

Flic Ou Voyou^p⁸

17/2

Enhanced his fine record at Wincanton with another victory in handicap 15 months ago. However, well held all 5 starts since, including for this yard.

Form: 1P/60P-4

Charlie Uberalles⁴⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 10-10| J: Henry Brooke| T: Mrs Dianne Sayer| OR: 120

7/4

Dual 3m chase winner in 2022. Only good effort last season came away from the mud when third in Premier Handicap at Doncaster (3m) in January. Big shout if the ground dries up.

Forecasts

Charlie Uberalles (7/4), Tommie Beau (11/4), Courtland (11/4), Punitive (9/2), Coqolino (5/1), Flic Ou Voyou (17/2)

With the ground likely to dry up, CHARLIE UBERALLES is fancied to take advantage of a potentially handy mark. Tommie Beau struggled in the Scottish National 5 weeks ago but he's a likeable type and should bounce back in this much less demanding race.
