6/1
Winless from 5 attempts in points but successful on 2 of his 4 starts over hurdles. Drop to 15.5f counted against him at Leicester last time and could have a part to play back up in trip with cheekpieces enlisted for this chase debut, provided of course that his jumping passes the test.

Enhanced good record fresh when recording a third course success at Ayr (3m, good to soft) in October. Not in the same form since and he's opposable.

Lightly-raced since scoring on chase debut at Uttoxeter (2½m, heavy) in November 2023, performing respectably when fourth in a competitive event at Haydock last time, disputing lead until bad mistake 4 out. Now steps back up in trip with visor refitted and needs to raise his game a touch.

7/1
Won twice over fences in France and off the mark on this side of the Channel for James Ewart at Doncaster in February 2023. Left previous form for this yard well behind when runner-up at Newcastle on penultimate start and while he was pulled up next time, this 8-y-o is worth another chance.

Largely consistent since bagging a hunter here last term and deservedly got his head back in front when taking a 4-runner Carlisle handicap (24.5f, good) a fortnight ago, proving ¾-length too good for Whosmydaddy. 2 lb nudge fair enough and should give another good account.

Won first 2 starts over fences when with Sandy Thomson. Produced best effort for this yard so far when beaten less than a length by Super Citizen in a 4-runner Carlisle handicap (24.5f, good) recently and, now 1 lb better off with that rival, it should again be close between them.

Made a successful start in this sphere at Doncaster in February but has failed to build on that by a long stretch in 2 subsequent starts.

Placed a couple of times at Ayr earlier this year but form has subsequently taken a turn for the worse. Record now stands at 0-22 overall and he's opposable from 9 lb out of the handicap here.

Forecasts

Jamesieconn (5/2), Super Citizen (7/2), Roger Rarebit (11/2), Achille Des Rocs (6/1), Heroique De Maulde (7/1), Whosmydaddy (7/1), Wotsmyname (16/1), Destiny Is All (20/1)

Verdict

Low-mileage 6-y-o ACHILLE DES ROCS won twice over hurdles during the winter and, with this step up in trip likely to be in his favour now switched to fences, he could be the answer granted a clean round of jumping. Whosmydaddy is taken to reverse recent Carlisle placings with Super Citizen and emerge as the main danger, while Heroique de Maulde will also have a chance if able to get back on track.
