Fever Dream^t⁵⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Jack Tudor| T: Christian Williams| OR: 97| DWS

11/10

Perth hurdles winner (23,9f) last summer. Yet to score over fences but finished with running left when sixth of 9 in handicap chase at this course (20.4f, soft) 57 days ago and step up in trip is a big plus. Had wind operation.

Form: P48356

Cokytho⁸⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: Kielan Woods| T: A M Hales| OR: 94| DWS

9/1

Finally off the mark in a 3m Uttoxeter handicap chase last May but now has a point to prove having failed to fire in all 3 starts since. Had wind operation.

Form: 2-31P8P

Age: 8| Weight: 11-11| J: Jonathan England| T: S England| OR: 94| BF| C

Below par this winter but scored twice last spring (including at this course) and is now 1 lb below his last winning mark. Cheekpieces back on.

Form: P45P45

Cloudy Wednesday^p³⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 11-2| J: Lewis Stones⁽³⁾| T: C Fryer| OR: 85| D

13/2

Consistent sort who has made the frame in all 3 starts this term, latest when creditable third of 7 in handicap chase at Huntingdon (19.9f, good) 34 days ago. Return to longer trip looks a good move and he merits consideration.

Form: 215-223

Moro Rock²⁶⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: Harry Bannister| T: Sara Ender| OR: 83WS

28/1

Maiden hurdler placed on 2 of his last 3 starts. Looks a real stayer but will need to improve for this switch to chasing. Had wind operation.

Form: P4-F293

Dysania^p²⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 10-2| J: S Bowen| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 69| D

11/1

Just the one win to his name from 26 starts overall and he finds himself out of the weights again here. .

Form: 62F4P5

Mistertommyshelby²⁰²

Age: 9| Weight: 10-2| J: Freddie Mitchell⁽³⁾| T: R Potter| OR: 64

17/2

Poor maiden hurdler/chaser at best with little recent form. Can only be watched from 7 lb out of the handicap.

Form: 0P-89P9

Forecasts

Fever Dream (11/10), Faitque De L'Isle (13/8), Martalmix'jac (11/4), Big Bee Hive (18/5), Cloudy Wednesday (13/2), Mistertommyshelby (17/2), Cokytho (9/1), Dysania (11/1), Moro Rock (28/1)

It could be worth chancing FEVER DREAM, who has been given a chance by the handicapper and will benefit from this stiffer test of stamina. Cloudy Wednesday and Faitque de L'Isle rate the principal dangers.
