6/1

Veteran chaser who made final start for Lucinda Russell a winning one at Wetherby 15 months ago. Largely disappointed for current yard since but mark continues to tumble as a result.

Form: 830-075

4/1

Dual winner at this sort of trip last term who arrives on back of creditable third of 7 in handicap chase (8/1) at Exeter (17.5f, heavy) last month. Now 4 lb below last winning mark so warrants respect.

Form: 1P43-53

11/8

Hurdles winner who found improvement when runner-up on chase debut at Wincanton (20.2f) in January. Just 1 lb higher now but has since unseated rider at Carlisle, after whipping round at the start, so clearly comes with some risks attached.

Form: 36F22U

Lucky Lugger^t¹⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-2| J: R Patrick| T: M Sheppard| OR: 108| D

2/1

Off the mark at sixth time of asking over fences when easily taking 5-runner handicap chase at Uttoxeter (16f, heavy) 17 days ago. 5 lb higher now but holds strong claims nonetheless.

Form: 223F31

Forecasts

Diamond Dice (11/8), Lucky Lugger (2/1), Mr Grey Sky (4/1), Do Your Job (6/1)

LUCKY LUGGER gained reward for his consistency when scoring at Uttoxeter earlier this month and looks the safest option in a tricky-looking contest. Diamond Dice rather blotted his copybook at Carlisle last time but will be dangerous if putting his best foot forward.
