Great Pepper¹¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: Charlotte Jones| T: James Moffatt| OR: 120

9/1

Dual point winner who showed a good attitude when landing first 2 starts over hurdles before struggling in Grade 2/listed company at around 3m. Respectable start to his chase career back from 8 months off (had wind surgery) when third of 6 in 2m Carlisle novice handicap in February. May do better.

Form: 111PP/3-

Coqolino^t⁴^{(ex 7)}

Age: 10| Weight: 11-2| J: R P McLernon| T: B Haslam| OR: 112| C

5/2

Capitalised on falling mark in 17f course handicap on Saturday, jumping better than is often the case. Just as effective over further and big player under a 7 lb penalty if coping with the quick turnaround.

Form: 3654-51

Hurricane Ali⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 10-13| J: Danny McMenamin| T: James Moffatt| OR: 116

7/2

A while since his last success over hurdles but placed at this course 3 times last year and made a sound start to his chase career when 5½ lengths third of 5 to reopposing Coqolino in 17f course handicap on Saturday.

Form: 38404-3

Militaire^p1⁶⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 10-5| J: S Bowen| T: W Greatrex| OR: 103

9/4

Comes here in decent nick after 3 placed efforts over fences in February/March but he's 5 lb out of handicap on this occasion. Wears first-time cheekpieces.

Form: 4/P4232-

Forecasts

Militaire (9/4), Coqolino (5/2), Hurricane Ali (7/2), Gale Mahler (4/1), Great Pepper (9/1)

The return to further should suit COQOLINO who might prove up to defying a penalty for Saturday's course win. Great Pepper can build on his Carlisle chase debut third and provide the chief threat ahead of chase newcomer Gale Mahler.
