In Rem^b1²²

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: David Noonan| T: Mrs J Williams| OR: 105

28/1

Patchy form last season but shaped as if needing the run at Warwick on return and is potentially on a good mark back over fences. Change of headgear.

Form: 25P35-6

Lermoos Legend^p¹⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: S Bowen| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 105| CD

12/1

C&D winner who found good run of form coming to end at this course (16.5f, soft) 19 days ago. Significantly back up in trip.

Form: 224333

Record High¹⁷⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: M G Nolan| T: Miss S Smith| OR: 104

40/1

Fontwell bumper winner in February 2022. However, very lightly raced since and modest form only in 3 novice hurdles. Makes chase debut (runner-up on the first of 2 starts in Irish maiden points).

Form: 2513/65-

Flash In The Park²¹⁷

5/2

Fetched £350,000 after winning an Irish maiden point by 20 lengths in November 2022 but modest form at best in 3 starts over hurdles. Has left Ben Pauling and sent chasing right away by new trainer. Has had breathing operation. Interesting contender.

Form: P1/683-

Law Of Supply^t²¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: K Bailey & M Nicholls| OR: 103WS

4/1

Showed some promise on his sole bumper start and on 2 of his 3 starts over hurdles. Should make a chaser (off mark in Irish points at third attempt).

Form: 414/553-

Marettimo¹²

Age: 10| Weight: 11-9| J: Harry Kimber| T: W G M Turner| OR: 102

100/1

Fair handicap chaser who shaped as if retaining his ability after 17 months off when fourth of 5 in handicap chase (33/1) at Fontwell (26f, good to soft) 12 days ago. This should reveal more.

Form: 451/32-4

Icaque de L'Isle²⁰⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Harry Bannister| T: R Bandey| OR: 102WS

16/1

Fairly useful chase winner in France and has performed to a similar level for current yard, arguably posting his best effort to date on these shores when runner-up at Fakenham (21.2f, soft) in November. Below par next 3 starts, however, including at Huntingdon when last seen in March.

Form: 34/2465-

Shuil Ceoil^p¹¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Brendan Powell| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 102| BF

8/1

Confirmed earlier promise when winning 15-runner handicap at Exeter (21f, heavy) in December. Some decent efforts in defeat since and should make a chaser (every chance when fell last sole start in Irish points).

Form: 24P2-44

Stringtoyourbow⁸³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: Jack Tudor| T: Christian Williams| OR: 102

17/2

Fair winning hurdler who has shown similar form in this sphere, creditable fifth of 13 in handicap chase (13/2) at this course (20f, good) 83 days ago. Has to be taken seriously off a slipping mark.

Form: PP3-P65

Duke Of Moravia¹⁹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: David Bass| T: H D Daly| OR: 101

11/1

Responded well to headgear when off the mark in 7-runner handicap hurdle at Wincanton (21.4f, heavy, 9/2), digging deep. Off 6 months. No headgear for this chase debut but he's the type to do better over fences (runner-up sole start in points).

Form: 33/5P31-

Call Me Arthur^t¹⁴⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Adam Wedge| T: T Lacey| OR: 100

28/1

Found improvement when winning 10-runner handicap hurdle at Southwell (24.3f, heavy) in May. Makes chase debut.

Form: 88292-1

Coconut Twist^p²²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Harry Reed| T: Daisy Hitchins| OR: 97

11/2

Point winner at the start of the year and made a successful chase debut at Newton Abbot (21f) in May. Has shaped as if still in form all 4 starts since, trip too far latest. Not discounted.

Form: 1-16324

Felton Bellevue^t,p¹⁷⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 11-3| J: J J Burke| T: B I Case| OR: 96

28/1

Generally reliable and gained a deserved first win for over 2 years at Southwell in March. Decent fourth at Stratford following month and off since.

Form: 422314-

The Big Reveal⁶⁰⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Conor Ring| T: G Harris| OR: 95

40/1

Third sole start in maiden points in Ireland and made a fairly promising start under Rules when fourth of 15 in a Chepstow maiden (19.5f). Went backwards next 2 starts, though. Off 20 months. Makes chase debut.

Flash In The Park (5/2), Law Of Supply (4/1), Coconut Twist (11/2), Shuil Ceoil (8/1), Stringtoyourbow (17/2), Duke Of Moravia (11/1), Lermoos Legend (12/1), Icaque de L'Isle (16/1), Felton Bellevue (28/1), Call Me Arthur (28/1), In Rem (28/1), Record High (40/1), The Big Reveal (40/1), Marettimo (100/1)

STRINGTOYOURBOW possibly went too soon here in July and is worth another chance off a tempting mark. Flash In The Park is an interesting opponent switched to chasing by his new yard, while Duke of Moravia is another chase debutant to consider.
