Wick Green^p¹⁴³

Age: 11| Weight: 12-2| J: Ben Jones| T: B Pauling| OR: 122| CD

28/1

Fairly useful chaser with a consistent record for this stable (excuses when last seen in March). Can go well fresh so not taken lightly.

Form: 33484P-

Almazhar Garde^t,p²⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 11-11| J: Paul O'Brien| T: C E Longsdon| OR: 117| D

12/1

Finished runner-up 3 times earlier this year and belatedly cashed in off his much-reduced mark to end lengthy losing run at Bangor (3m). Backed that up when runner-up over C&D since but doesn't normally hold his form for long.

Form: 6222-12

Morning Spirit^p¹⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 11-11| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 117

40/1

Returned to form from out of the blue when second at Southwell (24.3f) in May. However, he failed to back that up next 2 starts and others more persuasive.

Form: P44-283

Musical Slave^b²⁷

Age: 11| Weight: 11-9| J: M G Nolan| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 115

33/1

Useful sort at his best but hasn't made an impact since last season's return.

Form: 453-554

Do No Wrong²⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: Callum Bewley| T: Justin Landy| OR: 113

9/1

Added to impressive strike rate over fences in 6-runner handicap at Southwell (24.3f, good to soft) last month. Ran at least as well when second at Stratford/Cartmel next 2 starts and remains of strong interest.

Form: 11P-122

Ubetya⁴⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 11-5| J: Craig Nichol| T: Jedd O'Keeffe| OR: 111

18/1

On the decline now and opposable back over fences.

Form: PP74-43

Olivers Travels^p1²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: James Bowen| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 109| CD

4/1

Successful both starts in bumpers and off the mark over hurdles at Worcester (23f) in September. Plenty of encouragement when third on chasing debut at Uttoxeter but failed to build on that at Cartmel since. Headgear on and worth another chance.

Form: 126-733

Cape Vidal^t³⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: A J Honeyball| OR: 109| BF

5/1

Didn't go on as hoped in bumpers after a winning debut but made second hurdles start a winning one at Fontwell in October. Mixed record since but offered something to work on sent chasing when third here (20f) 5 weeks ago.

Form: 2/1P3-33

Walking The Walk^t,p²⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 11-3| J: R Patrick| T: Kerry Lee| OR: 109

16/1

Scored twice at up to 3m last summer for Gordon Elliott and shaped as if retaining all of his ability when placed both starts for new yard. Headgear back on and should remain competitive.

Form: 3147-33

Jigginstown King^t,p1⁴³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: G Sheehan| T: O Signy| OR: 106| D

14/1

Completed hat-trick at Stratford in October. Good placed efforts last 2 starts and respected in first-time headgear.

Form: 1P33-32

My Gift To You^t¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: S Bowen| T: James Owen| OR: 105| C

4/1

Immediate improvement upon joining James Owen, scoring for fifth time at Catterick and backing it up with solid placed efforts at Fontwell and Cartmel (21.2f). Gave himself little chance through a dreadful round of jumping at Fakenham but quickly bounced back when third over C&D 17 days ago.

Form: 21-2273

Getaway Glory^t,p²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-10| J: Henry Brooke| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 102| BF

11/2

Winning pointer who surpassed his hurdles form when making a winning chase debut at Huntingdon (3m) in April. Better form when placed next 3 starts, including back over hurdles here latest. Remains unexposed back over fences.

Form: 471-323

Puddlesinthepark^v1⁵⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-7| J: Isabel Williams⁽³⁾| T: Evan Williams| OR: 99| BF

16/1

Fair hurdles winner and plenty of good efforts in defeat in this sphere, though found his run of good form coming to a halt at Newton Abbot last time. Change of headgear.

Form: 7332-26

Storm Of Light²³

Age: 8| Weight: 10-5| J: Philip Armson⁽³⁾| T: B R Summers| OR: 97

200/1

Fair winner at 20f over hurdles in 2021 but lightly raced since and offered little both starts for this yard over fences after a lengthy absence.

Form: 3324/PP

Forecasts

Olivers Travels (4/1), My Gift To You (4/1), Cape Vidal (5/1), Getaway Glory (11/2), Do No Wrong (9/1), Almazhar Garde (12/1), Jigginstown King (14/1), Puddlesinthepark (16/1), Walking The Walk (16/1), Ubetya (18/1), Wick Green (28/1), Musical Slave (33/1), Morning Spirit (40/1), Storm Of Light (200/1)

DO NO WRONG is thriving at present and was unlucky to bump into a rejuvenated handicap blot at Cartmel last time. He remains of strong interest and gets the vote over the unexposed Getaway Glory. Olivers Travels is worth another chance to build on his promising chase debut and looks best of the others.
