Camp Belan^v³⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 12-0| J: P W Wadge| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 105| D

33/1

Thorough stayer who cashed in on his reduced mark at Ayr (24.1f) last February. Below par last 2 runs at Wetherby and Kelso though so has a bit to prove.

Form: 125-356

Breeze Of Wind^t⁵⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: Sam Coltherd| T: W Coltherd| OR: 105| CD

5/1

Took this 12 months ago and posted a solid fourth of 10 in handicap chase at Wetherby (24.2f, heavy) 58 days ago when needing a stronger gallop. Big shout in his follow-up bid off a 2 lb lower mark.

Form: 2144-44

Cream Of The West³⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 11-13| J: Danny McMenamin| T: N W Alexander| OR: 104

9/1

A dual hurdles winner last season at up to 3m who has made a solid start over fences, not lasting home when fourth of 6 in 3m2f handicap at Haydock 35 days ago. Considered back in trip.

Form: 121P-64

Travail D'Orfevre^t²⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 11-13| J: Bruce Lynn| T: N W Alexander| OR: 104| C| D

6/1

Course winner who also bagged 4-runner handicap chase at Ayr (24.1f, heavy) 28 days ago. Can go well again despite a 2 lb weights rise.

Form: 232-331

Nights In Venice^t⁵⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 11-7| J: Craig Nichol| T: D W Whillans| OR: 98

22/1

Got off the mark over fences at Ayr (20.5f) last February. Almost certainly needed the run after 8 months off at Wetherby last month and better expected now.

Form: 64143-P

Pitempton Power⁶⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 11-6| J: B S Hughes| T: Ewan Whillans| OR: 97| C

80/1

Back-to-back chase winner in 2021/22 but little to shout about in a very light 2022/23 and returned from long absence with a poor showing over hurdles at Carlisle. Plenty to prove.

Form: 23566/9

Torosay⁶⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Conner McCann⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 95| D

10/1

Signed off with 3m success at Hexham and not disgraced after 7 months off when a fading sixth of 13 in handicap chase here (26.2f, soft) 64 days ago. One to consider.

Form: P3221-6

Dusautior^p,t³⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: Henry Brooke| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 92| D

4/1

In good form until pulled up (on the back of wind surgery) in handicap chase at Uttoxeter (24f, heavy) 34 days ago. Well weighted if getting back on track.

Form: 1-5533P

Uptown Harry^v1⁵⁰

Age: 11| Weight: 11-1| J: Ross Chapman| T: Mrs J Walton| OR: 92| CD

28/1

C&D winner but he came in a well-beaten fifth of 7 to Croagh Patrick in handicap chase here (26.1f, soft) 50 days ago, going in snatches. Visored for 1st time now.

Form: 617-0P5

Croagh Patrick^b,t³⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 10-7| J: Charlotte Jones| T: S England| OR: 84| C| D

11/1

Course winner but pulled up in handicap chase at Uttoxeter (24f, heavy) 34 days ago, tailing off some way out. Others appeal more.

Form: 66P21P

Stowaway John^t⁵⁴

Age: 11| Weight: 10-5| J: Murray Dodd⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss S E Forster| OR: 82

33/1

Got off the mark at Hexham last March but resumed with a below-par seventh of 10 in handicap chase at Hexham (15.6f, soft) 54 days ago. Significantly up in trip with more needed.

Form: 6471-47

One Fer Mamma^b⁶⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 10-2| J: Emma Smith-Chaston⁽³⁾| T: Paula Smith| OR: 78| D

40/1

A fair winning hurdler/chaser but resumed from 8 months off with a below-form fourth of 8 at Market Rasen (3m) in December. Others preferred despite a sliding mark.

Form: P9553-4

Don Brocco^b,t¹²

Age: 9| Weight: 10-2| J: Sean Quinlan| T: Gary Rutherford| OR: 77| CD

7/1

It's now 19 runs since his last win in 2022 and he was pulled up in handicap chase at Catterick (25.2f, good) 12 days ago. Blinkers go back on with plenty to prove.

Form: 65-656P

Toombridge^p1,t⁶⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 10-2| J: William Maggs⁽⁵⁾| T: I A Duncan| OR: 76

6/1

Still a maiden and he came in a below-form eighth of 13 in handicap chase here (26.2f, soft) 64 days ago. Cheekpieces are now reached for.

Form: 036-U78

Gibberwell^b³³

Age: 9| Weight: 10-2| J: Philip Armson⁽³⁾| T: J Coulson| OR: 75| D

16/1

On a lengthy losing sequence and pulled up in handicap chase at Southwell (24.3f, heavy) 33 days ago. Hard to warm to.

Form: 24-534P

Forecasts

Dusautior (4/1), Breeze Of Wind (5/1), Toombridge (6/1), Travail D'Orfevre (6/1), Don Brocco (7/1), Cream Of The West (9/1), Torosay (10/1), Croagh Patrick (11/1), Gibberwell (16/1), Nights In Venice (22/1), Uptown Harry (28/1), Camp Belan (33/1), Stowaway John (33/1), One Fer Mamma (40/1), Pitempton Power (80/1)

Not as competitive as the numbers suggest and BREEZE OF WIND is fancied to repeat his victory in this contest 12 months ago having not been seen to ideal effect when fourth at Wetherby last time out. Course-scorer Travail d'Orfevre could emerge as the main danger, although Torosay, Dusautior and Cream of The West all need factoring in too.
