Age: 9| Weight: 12-1| J: S Bowen| T: M Bowen| OR: 121| CD

5/4

Arrives in top form having completed a 5-timer over C&D 24 days ago. Up another 5 lb but likely to make another bold bid.

Form: 7111-11

Jerrash^b¹⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: James Bowen| T: M Bowen| OR: 120| BF| D

11/2

Creeping back down the weights but has failed to complete on his last 4 starts now, going off too hard when pulled up at Market Rasen 2 weeks ago.

Form: 24P-UUP

Cloughroe^p,t²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: J G Gilligan⁽⁵⁾| T: P J Gilligan| OR: 116| C

15/2

Confirmed previous promise over fences when opening his account in novice handicap chase here (heavy) last month, all out having kicked on home turn. However, well held back here on Saturday.

Form: 05-2218

No Regrets^v⁴⁴

Age: 11| Weight: 11-3| J: Sean Quinlan| T: N G Richards| OR: 109

5/1

Three-time winner over fences. Off 7 months before a fading fifth of 6 in handicap chase at Hexham (24.2f, good to soft, 8/1) 44 days ago. Can take a step forward now and has dipped below last winning mark.

Form: 134F2-5

Puddlesinthepark^p⁴⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 10-9| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams| OR: 101| D

7/2

Improved performer over fences since the cheekpieces were refitted, notching third success in this sphere at Ffos Las last month, doing well to reel in the long-time leader. Must be respected.

Form: 12U31-1

Forecasts

Fairlawn Flyer (5/4), River Of Joy (11/4), Puddlesinthepark (7/2), Arthur's Quay (7/2), Sean Og (4/1), No Regrets (5/1), Jerrash (11/2), Cloughroe (15/2)

FAIRLAWN FLYER looked better than ever when bringing up a rare handicap 5-timer over C&D last month and is sure to make another bold bid. Arthur's Quay is likely a big threat back down in class if seeing out this longer trip, with the thriving Puddlesinthepark another to consider.
