Age: 10| Weight: 12-0| J: C Brace| T: J L Flint| OR: 97| D

22/1

Rattled off a 5-timer over fences in 2022 and he ran well on the back of 7 months off when second of 5 in handicap chase at Wincanton (15.7f). Ran badly at Fontwell next time but type to bounce back.

Finalshot^t²⁴⁶

Age: 11| Weight: 11-13| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: Mrs M Rowley| OR: 96| D

12/1

Back to winning ways in a first-time tongue tie (retained) when seeing off 8 rivals at Hexham (2m, good) in September. Just respectable third at Huntingdon following month and may need this on first run since.

Form: P/24P13-

Floating Rock^p¹⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 11-10| J: Chris Ward⁽³⁾| T: M Gates| OR: 93| D

7/1

Regular winner over the years but not the force of old. However, has tumbled in the weights and shaped encouragingly without landing a blow refitted with cheekpieces/tongue strap when third at Stratford and more than capable of making presence felt if building on that on belated return to fences.

Form: 69/56-P3

Gambie Tiep⁷⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-10| J: Beau Morgan⁽⁵⁾| T: B Pauling| OR: 93| D

15/2

Four-time winner for this yard in 2023, the latest an all-the-way success at Bangor (17.3f, soft) in October. Not at his best next 3 starts but back on track returned to hurdles when fourth at Uttoxeter in April. Needs to build on that now back in this sphere.

Form: U14654-

Groom De Cotte^t⁴¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-8| J: R P McLernon| T: G Brown| OR: 91

13/2

Modest maiden handicap hurdler who fell at the fifth on his chase bow at Exeter 3 starts back. First run for yard after leaving Sean Curran.

Form: 6/79F5-3

Tonto Foley^t²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Jack Tudor| T: Christian Williams| OR: 89| D

5/2

Hurdles winner last summer and confirmed chase debut promise under a positive ride back down in trip (jumped boldly) when successful at Taunton (2m, soft) in March. Followed up with a much-improved performance at Hereford last month and looks up to completing the hat-trick.

Form: 8/1P31-1

Tropical Talent^t¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Henry Brooke| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 85| D

4/1

Off the mark at the third time in this sphere when accounting for 10 rivals in a first-time tongue strap at Sedgefield (17f, good) last month, just holding on. Failed to complete through no fault of his own at Southwell since and he remains unexposed as a chaser.

Form: 4/P34-1U

Let It Shine^p1²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-9| J: Lily Pinchin| T: C E Longsdon| OR: 78| BF

12/1

Made the frame a few times after venturing down the handicap route last year. Well backed but ran poorly starting out for this yard at Warwick on return so questions to answer fitted with headgear on chase bow.

Form: 34P45-6

Moves Like Monty¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-4| J: Adam Wedge| T: L Morgan| OR: 73

12/1

Irish point winner but hasn't cut much ice under Rules so far, going backwards from chasing bow at Market Rasen 12 days ago.

Form: 1PP6-6P

Solid Fuel⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: James Best| T: Joanne Thomason-Murphy| OR: 68

40/1

Doesn't appear to retain much ability. 3 lb out of the weights.

Form: 737P0-7

Lonimoss Bareliere^b,t⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 10-2| J: Philip Armson⁽³⁾| T: B R Summers| OR: 67

33/1

Long-standing maiden who's no better than poor nowadays. 4 lb out of the weights.

Form: 7P4PP-5

Forecasts

Tonto Foley (5/2), Tropical Talent (4/1), Groom De Cotte (13/2), Floating Rock (7/1), Gambie Tiep (15/2), Finalshot (12/1), Let It Shine (12/1), Moves Like Monty (12/1), Blaze A Trail (22/1), Lonimoss Bareliere (33/1), Solid Fuel (40/1)

TONTO FOLEY is improving in leaps and bounds as a chaser and can complete the hat-trick. Floating Rock made much more of an impact off his reduced mark at Stratford and is capable of making his presence felt again back in this sphere, while Tropical Talent had excuses last time and remains unexposed over fences.
