Redbridge Rambler^p³³

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: S Bowen| T: M Keighley| OR: 104

2/1

A fair winner over hurdles and matched that form in this sphere when scoring in 3m handicap chase at Chepstow last March. Pulled up at Warwick last month though so needs to bounce back.

Form: 45414-P

Fat Sam^t²³

Age: 11| Weight: 12-0| J: James Davies| T: C J Down| OR: 104| D

4/1

It's now 18 runs since his last win in 2022 but he shaped encouragingly after 7 months off/breathing surgery when third of 5 in handicap chase at Uttoxeter (20f, good) 23 days ago. Player.

Form: 44523-3

Rajjamataz^p¹⁵⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Oliver Boyden⁽¹⁰⁾| T: Dr R Newland & J Insole| OR: 102WS

10/3

Got off the mark over fences at Fontwell last May but pulled up in 2m4f handicap chase at Southwell when last seen in February. Not ruled out after a subsequent wind op however.

Form: P/1225P-

Wild Nephin^t¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Conor Ring| T: R Potter| OR: 99

15/2

A fair winning hurdler but he came in only sixth of 7 in handicap chase at Cartmel (21.2f, heavy) on his debut over fences 10 days ago. Needs to take a big step forward.

Form: 4P521-6

Imperial Measure³²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-4| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams| OR: 80

11/2

Generally consistent over hurdles but yet to match that form in a pair of Ffos Las handicap chases, jumping hesitantly. Others appeal more.

Form: 2624/54

Deal Em High^p¹⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-2| J: R T Dunne| T: Mrs D A Hamer| OR: 70

12/1

Winless since 2021 and came in a well-held fifth of 7 in handicap chase here (16.5f, good to firm) on his debut over fences 19 days ago. Back up in trip with work to do from 8 lb "wrong" in the weights.

Form: 830PP-5

Forecasts

Redbridge Rambler (2/1), Rajjamataz (10/3), Fat Sam (4/1), Imperial Measure (11/2), Wild Nephin (15/2), Deal Em High (12/1)

A few of these arrive with question marks against them so this looks an excellent opportunity for FAT SAM to build on his recent Uttoxeter third and end a long losing sequence. Rajjamataz could emerge as the chief threat if breathing surgery has the desired effect after a lay-off, while Redbridge Rambler can also have a say if back on his A-game.
