7/2

Proved better than ever when resuming winning ways at Exeter (19.2f, soft) on penultimate start and again ran well when fourth in 6 runner handicap chase at Newbury (22.4f) 21 days ago, bad mistake 3 out not helping. One to consider.

Form: 2-22414

2/1

Lightly-raced maiden who has made a solid start in this sphere, looking as if a greater test of stamina would suit when 8 lengths third of 6 in handicap at Stratford (22.6f) 32 days ago. Drop in trip may not prove ideal but respected nevertheless.

Jupiter Des Bordes^t²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Dylan Johnston⁽³⁾| T: R Hobson| OR: 106| BF

11/4

Fair winning hurdler in France and similar form when placed twice over fences for new yard at Warwick (20f) earlier this year. Not at that level when fourth at Uttoxeter (20f) 4 weeks ago but he remains one to be positive about and this longer trip rates a plus.

John The Spark²⁵

33/1

Fair maiden hurdler who was below form starting out for new yard when sixth in maiden here (19f) 25 days ago. Didn't convince with his jumping during first stint chasing in Ireland and that has to be a concern here.

Form: 250036

Nollyador^t³⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-6| J: Rex Dingle| T: Miss E C Lavelle| OR: 105| BF| D

13/2

Stepped up on comeback from a lengthy absence when off the mark in 6-runner handicap hurdle at Hereford (21.7f) in February. Disappointing he couldn't back that up at Market Rasen next time but given more time ahead of this chase debut and better showing not ruled out.

Form: 665/316

Call Off The Dogs^b¹⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 11-1| J: Caoilin Quinn| T: G & J Moore| OR: 100| CD

13/2

Regular here who added another course success to his tally over 19.5f last September. Below par twice in November but feasible to think he'll strip fitter for his return in what was a stronger race here 2 weeks ago and he's now back on last winning mark.

Claims can be made for plenty here with the vote in favour of JUPITER DES BORDES. Richard Hobson's 6-y-o has shaped with plenty of promise on 2 of his 3 chase tries since switched to these shores and the return to this longer trip very much looks in his favour. Sherborne, Korus and Nollyador may emerge as the chief threats.
