Trevada^p,t¹²

Age: 9| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr Zac Baker| T: Francesca Poste| OR: 110

9/2

Fair chaser for Oliver Sherwood. Cheekpieces on for 1st time when landing 3-runner hunter chase (11/10) at Fakenham (24.2f) for his new yard 10 months ago. Landed a point 12 days ago so must enter calculations.

Form: 112-121

Empire De Maulde^t¹²

Age: 11| Weight: 11-12| J: Mr Martin McIntyre⁽³⁾| T: R Varnham| OR: 119

12/1

Unreliable type who was pulled up in handicap chase at Cartmel (25.5f) 8 months ago on his final run for James Ewart. Tongue strap back on. Runner-up in a point 12 days ago so not ruled out.

Form: 3P5112

Enrilo^p⁴⁴

Age: 11| Weight: 11-12| J: Miss Olive Nicholls⁽³⁾| T: P F Nicholls| OR: 125| CD

9/4

Fifteen runs since last win in 2021 but he posted a good second of 5 in hunter chase at Ludlow (23.8f, soft) 44 days ago. This C&D winner merits serious consideration.

Form: 4230-P2

Itchy Feet⁵⁷

Age: 11| Weight: 11-12| J: Mr James King| T: O Murphy| OR: 136| D

7/4

Veteran who took advantage of a slipping mark at Market Rasen (23f) in November 2023 but lightly raced and below par since. Has the form to play a big part if back on his A-game here however.

Form: 0/P17-86

Forecasts

Itchy Feet (7/4), Enrilo (9/4), Rebel Dawn Rising (9/2), Trevada (9/2), Empire De Maulde (12/1)

Not an easy race to assess and it could go the way of Paul Nicholls' ENRILO who is taken to build on an encouraging Ludlow second last time out. Itchy Feet is another veteran who can have a big say if on song.
