6/1

Placed off this mark over fences last year. In good form over hurdles this season but got no further than the first on return to fences at Ludlow 10 days ago. Ought to be in the mix if his jumping holds up.

Form: 2-1255F

10/11

Made the most of a good opportunity when winning a Hexham maiden hurdle (16.2f) in March. May have need the run on reappearance/chase debut at Carlisle (20.9f) last month (bad mistake seventh). Lightly raced 5-y-o should do better as a chaser if he can brush up on his jumping.

Form: 22341-7

Two To Tango¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Jack Hogan| T: Miss E C Lavelle| OR: 105

6/4

Maiden posted plenty of creditable efforts over hurdles last season. Took time to warm to task but matched best of his form when third on reappearance/chase debut at Wincanton (15.7f, good) 2 weeks ago. Entitled to improve on second start over fences.

Form: 3253-23

Forecasts

Benmore (10/11), Two To Tango (6/4), Iskar D'airy (3/1), Stroll On By (6/1)

A case can be made for each of the quartet, perhaps the strongest for TWO TO TANGO who matched his hurdles form when third on chase debut and he should improve. Stroll On By is more exposed over fences but well capable at this level on his day, while Benmore is another potential improver on just his second start as a chaser.
