Bread And Butter^t⁸⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 12-0| J: James Best| T: Cynthia Woods| OR: 99

66/1

Won a trio of hurdles for Olly Murphy last season but proved disappointing the last twice, including returned to fences at Market Rasen in February. Since joined new yard and others convince more.

Fortunate Fella²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Ben Bromley⁽⁵⁾| T: P F Nicholls| OR: 99

4/1

Never really threatened in a handful of starts over hurdles but posted good second of 10 over C&D on chase debut last month and is only 1 lb higher now. Shortlisted.

Age: 9| Weight: 11-0| J: R P McLernon| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 85| BF

14/1

Posted much her best effort in this sphere when taking 21f Fakenham mares' handicap in March. Nowhere that form over longer trip at Bangor since but must enter calculations here.

Age: 7| Weight: 10-13| J: Lucy Gardner| T: Mrs S Gardner| OR: 84WS

9/2

Still looking for first success and never really threatened in a handful of starts last season. Others more appealing. Had wind

15/2

Posted respectable third of 11 in handicap hurdle at Taunton (19f, good) 22 days ago. 1 lb lower on chase debut and can't be ruled out.

Ultra Viers^t,p²¹

Age: 9| Weight: 10-8| J: Harry Bannister| T: P Taylor| OR: 79

17/2

Just a point win to his name but has been in good heart in recent starts, latest when respectable fourth of 8 in handicap chase at Warwick (24f, good) 3 weeks ago. Likely to be in the mix again.

Lunar Ocean^t,p¹⁴⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-7| J: G Sheehan| T: Billy Aprahamian| OR: 78

7/4

Stepped up on low-key hurdles form switched to fences for this yard last season, runner-up on first 3 starts in this sphere prior to finishing fifth in Uttoxeter handicap (24f) in December. Remains winless after 11 outings, though.

Form: 7/32225-

Ceejaybe^t²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-5| J: James Davies| T: Miss J S Davis| OR: 76

13/2

Posted best effort in this sphere when very good third of 10 in handicap chase over C&D (good) 20 days ago. Races off same mark here and must enter calculations.

Forecasts

Lunar Ocean (7/4), Fortunate Fella (4/1), Daring Plan (9/2), Ceejaybe (13/2), Bruce Gobbler (15/2), Ultra Viers (17/2), Rock On Rita (14/1), Bread And Butter (66/1)

FORTUNATE FELLA made an encouraging start over fences when runner-up over C&D last month and is entitled to build on that. He can go one better. Ceejaybe and Rock On Rita are feared most.
