Age: 6|  Weight: 11-9| J: Brendan Powell| T: J Tizzard| OR:  129
Firmly on the up over hurdles in January, scoring twice in novice company around 2m4f at Wincanton. Looks the part for chasing and was making a very promising start (likely to have gone close) at this discipline when coming down 2 out at Cheltenham on return last month. Expected to be bang there.

Low-mileage 8-y-o who ran well on 2 of his 3 starts in handicap hurdles last season. Too rusty to justify short odds on his first and only try over fences in this race 2 years ago so needs to be sharper now.

Age: 7|  Weight: 11-5| J: Tom Cannon| T: A King| OR:  125| BF| D
Winning pointer/bumper performer who landed the odds without any fuss over hurdles at Market Rasen and made it 2 from 4 in that sphere in novice at Taunton. Shaped pretty well sent chasing after 8 months off when third at Market Rasen and open to further progress.

Age: 5|  Weight: 11-3| J: Ben Godfrey| T: A J Honeyball| OR:  123| BF
Winning hurdle debut at Wincanton last season and better form in defeat since, notably his excellent fourth of 17 in very competitive EBF Final at Sandown in March, looking well suited by the step up to 2½m. Will make a chaser so warrants respect.

Age: 6|  Weight: 10-13| J: Jack Hogan(3)| T: F O'Brien| OR:  119
Irish point winner who was runner-up on bumper debut in November. Much better for hurdles bow when landing maiden at Wincanton but failed to fire under a penalty at Ffos Las final start. Off 7 months. Makes chase debut in warm event.

Age: 7|  Weight: 10-12| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR:  118
Expensive point winner who got off the mark at the fourth attempt over hurdles in 6-runner maiden at Market Rasen. Type to make a better chaser and made a promising start over fences when fourth at Chepstow on return. Can build on that with headgear applied.

Royal Jewel25
Age: 5|  Weight: 10-11| J: M G Nolan| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR:  117| C
Progressive over hurdles at Exeter last season, including a maiden win around 2m and a near miss in a handicap over 18.5f. Resumed where he left off when good second at Newton Abbot on chase bow/return last month and likely to improve on that.

Forecasts

Welcom To Cartries (11/4), Lord Of Thunder (4/1), The Doyen Chief (9/2), Theformismighty (11/2), Dubrovnik Harry (7/1), Bucksy Des Epeires (8/1), Royal Jewel (12/1), Dartmoor Pirate (12/1), Denemethy (12/1)

Verdict

The progressive LORD OF THUNDER would likely have gone close to making a winning chase bow had he not fallen 2 out at Cheltenham on return and can make amends. There are plenty of potential dangers, headed by Theformismighty and Welcom To Cartries.
