Broughshane²³

Age: 7| Weight: 12-2| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 117| BF| D

4/1

A dual hurdles scorer who made a promising start over fences when third of 6 in handicap chase (7/4) at Fontwell (19.5f, good to soft) 23 days ago. Can build on it now back up in trip. Likely player.

Form: 4-12133

Poppa Poutine^t⁵⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 12-2| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 117| D

40/1

Scored at Wincanton in December but pulled up in handicap chase at Bangor (29.6f, heavy) 50 days ago. Has something to find on form.

Form: 76/614P

Almazhar Garde^p,t³⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 12-0| J: Paul O'Brien| T: C E Longsdon| OR: 115| D

18/1

Found his good run of form coming to an end when fourth of 8 in handicap chase at Hereford (25.2f, soft) 34 days ago. Sort to bounce back though.

Form: 242224

Everything'sontick^t⁵⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: G Sheehan| T: Mrs L Hill| OR: 113

22/1

Off 10 months before unseated rider 13th in handicap chase at Lingfield (28.8f, soft) 57 days ago. A dual winner last term so he still needs considering.

Form: 13715-U

Carrigmoorna Rowan^t²⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-11| J: J J Burke| T: H Fry| OR: 112| D

12/1

Irish point winner who struck over hurdles at Market Rasen last April. Not really built on that since however but he's no forlorn hope now he goes chasing.

Form: 631-F56

Montregard^p⁴⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: Callum Pritchard⁽⁵⁾| T: T Lacey| OR: 112| BF| D

13/2

Resumed winning ways at Market Rasen in November but pulled up in handicap chase at Wetherby (24.2f, heavy) 45 days ago. Needs to bounce back.

Form: 13-613P

Good Work^p,t³⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 11-9| J: Henry Brooke| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 110| C

20/1

Unreliable type who was pulled up in handicap chase at Exeter (30.7f, heavy) 36 days ago. Can give a good account if back on his A-game though.

Form: P3321P

Fern Hill^p²⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 11-7| J: J M Quinlan| T: B I Case| OR: 108| C

18/1

Course winner who wasn't disgraced when fourth of 7 in handicap chase at Market Rasen (27.6f, good) 25 days ago. Still needs a couple of these to falter.

Form: 7-552P4

Konfusion¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Danny McMenamin| T: J Parkinson & S Smith| OR: 103| BF

15/8

Got off the mark at Wetherby in February and backed it up with a solid third of 11 in handicap chase (evens) at Hexham (20.1f, good to soft) 16 days ago, despite making some mistakes. Firmly in the picture.

Form: 88-3313

Militaire¹³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-2| J: James Bowen| T: W Greatrex| OR: 103| BF

11/2

Still a maiden but he comes here in decent nick, third of 7 in handicap chase at Chepstow (23.6f, good) 13 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up.

Form: 34/P423

Nine Nine Nine²²

Age: 8| Weight: 10-2| J: Conor Ring| T: S-J Davies| OR: 87

16/1

It's now 11 runs since his last win in 2024 but he recorded a good second of 6 in handicap chase at Leicester (20.1f, good to soft) 22 days ago. One for the shortlist.

Forecasts

Konfusion (15/8), Broughshane (4/1), Militaire (11/2), Montregard (13/2), Caeruleum (10/1), Carrigmoorna Rowan (12/1), Nine Nine Nine (16/1), Fern Hill (18/1), Almazhar Garde (18/1), Good Work (20/1), Everything'sontick (22/1), Poppa Poutine (40/1)

BROUGHSHANE shaped well on his debut in this sphere when third at Fontwell and with progress very much on the cards he looks the way to go. Konfusion is weighted to have a big say and rates the chief danger, while in-form duo Militaire and Nine Nine Nine need factoring in too.
