Beau Balko²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-13| J: Ben Bromley⁽³⁾| T: P F Nicholls| OR: 125

9/2

Fairly useful hurdler and ran to similar level when opening his chase account at the fourth attempt at Musselburgh in February. Likely to have won again but for a mistake 2 out at Ayr in April and could well be sharper for his recent return at Kempton. Respected.

Form: 22133-3

Dreaming Blue^t²⁰⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-13| J: Chad Bament⁽⁸⁾| T: A J Honeyball| OR: 125

14/1

Capitalised on a reduced mark with plenty to spare at Fontwell (17.8f, heavy) in March and followed up back there (21.6f) 3 weeks later. Reappears from an 8 lb higher mark but has gone well fresh before.

Tedley^p⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Jamie Brace⁽³⁾| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 124| C

5/6

Different proposition since switched to chasing, improving again to make it 2 from 2 in this sphere in 7-runner handicap at Wetherby (19.4f, good, 6/4) last week. Nudged up 6 lb but open to further progress.

Form: 3-43511

Killer Kane^b1,t²⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 11-10| J: Callum Pritchard⁽⁵⁾| T: J Tizzard| OR: 122| BF| D

9/4

Showed plenty of ability remains when third of 8 in handicap chase at Kempton (24f, good to soft) 20 days ago. Blinkers on for 1st time and must enter calculations off the same mark.

Form: 3800-43

Forecasts

Tedley (5/6), Killer Kane (9/4), Beau Balko (9/2), Duke Of Luckley (9/2), Dreaming Blue (14/1)

TEDLEY is clearly a different proposition now chasing and this looks a good opportunity to maintain his unbeaten record. Beau Balko could well be sharper for last month's return at Kempton and is second choice.
