Age: 8| Weight: 12-2| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: A King| OR: 112| C| D

3/1

Suited by long distances and ended last season with a win at Hexham. Probably needs the ground to be testing to be as effective at this trip.

Form: 19/4731-

Good Work^p,t¹⁸⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 11-11| J: Toby Wynne| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 107

9/2

Prone to mistakes and irresolute (runner-up 14 times). Record fresh not great and others preferred.

10/1

Promising start under Rules when second in maiden hurdle at Carlisle but yet to build on that in 3 subsequent starts, including on handicap bow in this headgear combination. Off 7 months. Makes chase debut (every chance when fell last sole start in Irish points).

Form: F/2748-

I See The Sea²²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: James Davies| T: C N Kellett| OR: 100| BF

12/1

Responded well to blinkers last 2 starts, off the mark at Wincanton in March before second at Hexham a week later. Has since left Philip Hobbs & Johnson White and headgear left off for this reappearance.

Form: F/3P612-

Mary's Fortune^p,t¹⁶⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: James Bowen| T: Tim Vaughan| OR: 99

15/2

Fair maiden hurdler/chaser in France a few years back. Winning pointer since, but down the field over both fences and hurdles for current connections. Up in trip.

Form: F23/56-7

Bridget Mary^p,t¹⁹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-9| J: Jamie Brace⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss R Curtis| OR: 91| CD

6/4

Mixed bag since her winning chasing start a year ago but added to her tally over this C&D under this rider when last seen in April. Can go well fresh and 8 lb rise seem fair.

Forecasts

Bridget Mary (6/4), Betterforeveryone (3/1), Good Work (9/2), Mary's Fortune (15/2), Dazzlelikethis (10/1), I See The Sea (12/1)

BRIDGET MARY won on her reappearance last season before ending the campaign with a convincing success over this C&D and is likely to have too much pace for Betterforeveryone under these conditions.
