9/2
Fairly useful Flat/hurdles winner who has the size to make a chaser and built on his debut over fences when easily landing odds in maiden at Exeter in November. However, looked moody when remote third in a Wincanton handicap since and blinkers now applied.

10/3
Started chase career with a brace of 18f wins here last season and finished campaign with seconds at Wetherby/Haydock. Ran badly after 10 months off at Haydock though fared a little bit better when fourth at Sandown. Not dismissed back at this venue.

5/4
Low-key start to this season but back to very best fitted with this headgear when wide-margin winner at Wincanton 12 days ago. 8 lb rise looks fair so big shout with a repeat.

11/1
Scored at Stratford in the spring but has failed to fire on his last 2 starts, pulled up at Chepstow on latter occasion. Can go well fresh but still has something to prove back from a break with usual tongue strap left off.

5/1
Fourth chase win of his career when wide-margin winner at Exeter (heavy) on New Year's Day. Not in same form there 18 days ago but type to bounce back.

Forecasts

Good Friday Fairy (5/4), Heros (10/3), Gyenyame (9/2), Flash Gorcombe (5/1), The Boola Boss (11/1)

Verdict

GOOD FRIDAY FAIRY responded well to this headgear when a wide-margin winner at Wincanton 12 days ago so can defy an 8 lb rise with all his rivals arriving on the back of his disappointing effort. Heros may emerge as the biggest threat back at a course he's 2 from 2 at.

  3. Flash Gorcombe5/1
