10/1

Hurdle winner in Ireland who struck twice over fences for Richard Bandey, latterly at Leicester (2m, heavy) in February. Good effort over hurdles at Newton Abbot on penultimate start but pulled up over fences at Ascot since.

Form: 531-02P

Age: 8| Weight: 11-8| J: Liam Harrison| T: Kerry Lee| OR: 114

7/4

Fair hurdles winner who made a decent start for this yard when second at Hereford in April. Back on track sent chasing and latest second at Uttoxeter has been boosted since. Off a couple of months but big player.

Form: 472-522

Fast Buck^t²³

Age: 10| Weight: 11-5| J: Callum Pritchard⁽⁷⁾| T: Mrs J Williams| OR: 111| D

11/4

Now 11 lb lower than when registering latest success in a handicap chase at Wincanton in January. That said, it's been downhill pretty much all the way since and he needs to bounce back in a major way.

Form: 436-853

Famoso²⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: Stan Sheppard| T: M Sheppard| OR: 106| CD

16/5

Largely consistent type who has got back on the up recently, completing a double with another likeable display at Wincanton last time. This is a step up in grade, but he's still of interest.

Form: 5-22711

Force De Frap^p,t³³

Age: 9| Weight: 11-0| J: James Best| T: Mrs E Bishop| OR: 106| CD

13/2

Successful at Bangor and this course last term but ended that campaign with a couple of rather subdued efforts and fell at Southwell on reappearance.

Form: 1125-5F

Time To Dazzle³⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-4| J: James Turner⁽⁵⁾| T: S-J Davies| OR: 96WS

50/1

Well served by change of tactics when making second start in handicaps a winning one over hurdles at Fontwell (19.2f) in February. Yet to fire over fences, leaving Gary & Josh Moore cheaply before being pulled up at Ffos Las on return. Plenty to prove.

Form: P/21P-6P

Forecasts

Cabhfuilfungi (7/4), Alcedo (2/1), Fast Buck (11/4), Famoso (16/5), Force De Frap (13/2), Wewillgowithplanb (10/1), Time To Dazzle (50/1)

CABHFUILFUNGI has made a positive start to chasing and was only beaten at Uttoxeter last time by one that has gone in again, so he gets the marginal vote over Alcedo, who strikes as a fascinating chasing debutant for a yard that's flying. The likeable Famoso is also considered.
