12/1

Won first 3 starts over fences last term, taking Grade 1 Henry VIII Novices' Chase at Sandown (2m) in December. Lost his unbeaten chasing record with a bit of a whimper in Scilly Isles back there before a no show at the Cheltenham Festival. Questions to answer now.

Form: 0/1114P-

Heltenham^t²²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 142| CD

9/2

Improved again last season, the highlight being his victory in the Greatwood Gold Cup over C&D in March. Was travelling well when falling 4 out at Ayr on final start and must enter calculations.

Form: 82118F-

Sir Psycho^p²¹⁰

17/2

Made his first start since leaving Paul Nicholls a winning one in novice handicap at Ascot (18.8f) last November. Still going well when fell 5 out in 2m4f Punchestown handicap in May. Possibilities after a break.

11/1

Got off the mark over fences at Kempton in February and running well in blinkers when fell 2 out in handicap chase at Sandown (20f, good) final run. Since had a wind op and not discounted with cheekpieces back on.

Form: 2PP16F-

Galop De Chasse²⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 10-11| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: Miss V Williams| OR: 133| CD

85/40

C&D winner who ran well after 12 months off when second of 4 in handicap chase at Wetherby (19.4f, good) 28 days ago. Remains with few miles on the clock so he rates a big player.

Form: 1P23/1-2

Saint Segal^t²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-9| J: David Noonan| T: Mrs J Williams| OR: 131

17/2

On a losing run but he wasn't disgraced when seventh of 10 in handicap chase at Ascot (2m, good) 27 days ago. No forlorn hope.

Form: 2U36-47

Scarface^p²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-8| J: Brendan Powell| T: J Tizzard| OR: 130| D

5/1

Thrived over fences when cheekpieces went on, winning 3 times around 2½m between January and April. Only fourth of 5 in Haldon Cup at Exeter (17.5f, good) 21 days ago though so needs to take a step forward now.

Form: 2113-54

La Domaniale²⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 10-7| J: Jack Hogan⁽³⁾| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 129| D

28/1

A four-time winner over fences who arrives in decent nick, fourth of 6 to Terresita in listed chase at Carlisle (20f, good to soft) 26 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up.

Form: 32-0264

Lord Baddesley^t²⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 10-5| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: A J Honeyball| OR: 127| C| D

12/1

A fairly useful hurdles/chase winner for Chris Gordon. Off 8 months and tongue tied when a fading sixth of 10 in handicap chase at Wincanton (25.1f, good) 20 days ago. Can take a step forward.

Forecasts

Galop De Chasse (85/40), Heltenham (9/2), Scarface (5/1), Saint Segal (17/2), Sir Psycho (17/2), Golden Son (11/1), Le Patron (12/1), Lord Baddesley (12/1), Editeur Du Gite (25/1), La Domaniale (28/1)

GALOP DE CHASSE made a promising return from an absence when runner-up at Wetherby and this C&D scorer can resume winning ways at the chief expense of Dan Skelton's returning Heltenham. La Domaniale and Sir Psycho also need factoring into this open handicap.
