6/4

Resumed winning ways at Newcastle (16.3f, good) in March and continued in good heart on subsequent starts for James Ewart. Seemed to find things happening too quickly dropped back to 2m on return/yard debut at Uttoxeter last month and better anticipated here in a reapplied tongue tie.

Form: 33133-4

Claim Du Brizais^t⁴⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: Miss Heidi Palin⁽⁷⁾| T: D Skelton| OR: 102

11/4

Fair bumper winner who left a disappointing hurdle debut behind when getting up in the dying strides in 2m novice at Newton Abbot in June. Ran to a similar level making a quick switch to handicaps at Stratford last month and now attentions are turned to the larger obstacles.

Form: 331-413

Impression Chic^t⁴¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: Charlie Price⁽³⁾| T: R Hobson| OR: 94| CD

5/2

Ex-pointer who stepped up on her hurdles form when making a winning chase debut in a first-time tongue strap over C&D in October 2023. Placed all 4 starts since, including when third of 13 in handicap chase at Worcester (20f, good) when last seen 13 months ago. Respected if ready to roll.

13/2

Modest form at best over hurdles last season but showed nothing after 11 months off on the level at Lingfield last month. Big outsider sent chasing.

Forecasts

Hold Onto The Line (6/4), Obsessedwithyou (9/4), Impression Chic (5/2), Claim Du Brizais (11/4), Big Jimbo (13/2), Mary (12/1)

A small field but cases can be made for a few of these. Preference is for OBSESSEDWITHYOU, who wasn't at her best when bidding for a hat-trick at Stratford 6 weeks ago, but Jamie Snowdon's 6-y-o is fancied to get back on the up. Hold Onto The Line possibly needed the outing on first start for his new yard at Uttoxeter last month so heads up the dangers, with chasing debutante Claim du Brizais rounding off the shortlist.
