Annamix^t⁵⁰

Age: 11| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr P W Mullins| T: W P Mullins| OR: 139

4/1

Not the most reliable jumper but scored at Gowran prior to an excellent third in the Foxhunters' at Aintree last time. Definite claims in this slightly lesser contest.

Form: 1P/1P13-

D'jango^t²⁸

Age: 11| Weight: 12-0| J: Miss Immy Robinson| T: Miss V Collins| OR: 128

18/1

Appeared to be very much on the decline prior to turning it round in hunters, scoring in an 8-runner event at Warwick in January. Has remained in form since and should give a good account.

Form: 21446-3

Fairly Famous²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Miss Gina Andrews| T: Mrs G Ellis| OR: 137

9/4

Prolific in points and produced his best effort in this sphere when readily accounting for Premier Magic at Cheltenham last time. That is the best piece of recent form on show and he's taken to follow up.

Form: 1/12P1-1

Go On Chez^p,t²³

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr James King| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 130

3/1

Has shown the odd sign of temperament but he's useful and is now two from two in hunters, again having plenty in hand at Kelso last time. Looks a big player.

Form: 22221-1

Law Of Gold²⁸

Age: 11| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr D Peters| T: D Kemp| OR: 132| BF| CD

12/1

Pulled up in this last year and, having won a couple of points, it was a similar story at Cheltenham on return to Rules. Has a bit to prove now.

Form: 1P211-P

Lift Me Up²⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: Jack Andrews| T: Miss M Filby| OR: 115

14/1

Multiple point winner who returned to this sphere with a solid showing when third at Cheltenham a month ago. Has something to find if he's to land this, though.

Form: 11/P21-3

Premier Magic^p,t²⁸

Age: 11| Weight: 12-0| J: Freddie Mitchell| T: B Gibbs| OR: 137

9/1

Likeable type who belied huge odds to win Festival Challenge Cup Hunters' Chase at the Cheltenham Festival sole start in 2022/23. Right back to form when runner-up to Fairly Famous there last time and should get closer to that rival.

Form: 1/111P-2

What A Glance^t²⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 12-0| J: Murray Dodd| T: T Britten| OR: 124

12/1

Held form well in points and has made a solid return to this sphere, finishing third here before scoring comfortably at Cheltenham last time. Not dismissed for all that others have achieved more.

Form: U1222-1

Forecasts

Fairly Famous (9/4), Go On Chez (3/1), Annamix (4/1), Premier Magic (9/1), What A Glance (12/1), Law Of Gold (12/1), Lift Me Up (14/1), D'jango (18/1)

FAIRLY FAMOUS was impressive when comfortably getting the better of Premier Magic at Cheltenham last time and he's probably up to going in again at the possible expense of Go On Chez, who is yet to taste defeat in this sphere. Annamix is another obvious player.
