28/1
Dual point winner who has shaped with encouragement when fourth a couple of times at Newton Abbot. That level of form isn't enough to trouble a couple of these rivals, however.

7/2
Fair bumper performer for Harry Whittington and more positives signs as a hurdler for this yard lately, running well off a mark of 100 when third in a handicap over C&D last time. Reproduction of that might be enough to land this.

22/1
Placed in 3 handicaps last summer. Temperament has long been under suspicion, though, and typically looked hard work when fifth in a handicap chase here last time. Others make more appeal.

Little to shout about so far in a bumper/over hurdles, including on handicap debut at this course last time. Others make more appeal.

7/1
Runner-up in a point and, while he failed to feature in a bumper here, this marked step up in trip and switch to hurdles (fixed brush should suit) is in his favour, so not a forlorn hope.

16/1
Point winner who underperformed when sent off 11/10 for his Rules debut at Thurles in March. Much more like it when third on both subsequent starts leaving Emmet Mullins prior to latest effort at this course. More required, though.

14/1
Fairly useful Flat winner, making GB/IRE jumps debut. Thirteenth of 14 in handicap at Newcastle (16.2f, 10/1) 32 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Keith Dalgleish. Worth a market check.

Clear signs of ability in bumpers last year and some encouragement over hurdles, back on track when third in a novice at Uttoxeter 42 days ago. Can make his presence felt.

Fair maiden at best on the Flat but hasn't replicated that over hurdles as yet and looks set for another struggle.

Modest maiden hurdler at best in France but has shown little in Britain to date and hasn't been seen for 20 months.

11/4
Showed ability in bumpers and improved efforts switched to handicaps in this sphere on last two completed starts, fourth of 12 at Ffos Las (good) recently. In the process of running poorly when fell last at Cartmel 20 days ago but could bounce back if she's none the worse.

Little in the way of worthwhile form and it's easy enough to look elsewhere.

Forecasts

Youlneverwalkalone (15/8), Of Course You Can (11/4), Champetre (7/2), Pike Road (7/1), Thermoscope (14/1), Red Hugh (16/1), Dirk Gently (22/1), All Night Parking (28/1), Happy County (80/1), Stargazer Belle (80/1), Boudica Warrior (100/1), Echo Of Promise (200/1)

Verdict

CHAMPETRE arrives on the back of a solid showing in a handicap and finds himself in a weak maiden, so he's preferred to Youlneverwalkalone, who is closely matched on form. Of Course You Can is also worthy of respect despite running poorly (before falling) on her latest outing.
