7/2

Points runner-up who shaped encouragingly when fourth of 6 in handicap chase here (15.7f, good) on his debut over fences 25 days ago, staying on late. Open to improvement back over further. Likely player.

You Say Its Over⁵⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 10-6| J: C O'Farrell| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 74

12/1

Still looking for first success but runner-up 4 times last season. Little to shout about this term so needs this switch to fences to spark major improvement.

Form: 264-486

Eric Carmen^t,p⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 10-5| J: Jack Hogan⁽³⁾| T: G Hanmer| OR: 73

9/1

Unreliable individual who was pulled up in handicap chase at Market Rasen (17.2f, good to soft) 5 days ago. Cheekpieces go back on now with work to do.

Form: 34032P

Forecasts

Get A Superstar (3/1), Mr Mahler (7/2), Just Gino (9/2), I'm Too Tired (9/2), Eric Carmen (9/1), Goodtimes Badtimes (9/1), You Say Its Over (12/1), Bravethewaves (20/1), Comeonrita (50/1), Edmond Dantes (125/1)

MR MAHLER made a promising start over fences when a staying-on fourth here last time out and can build on it to gain a breakthrough victory now his stamina is unlocked more. I'm Too Tired is feared most on the back of his Sedgefield success ahead of in-form pair Get A Superstar and Just Gino.
