Santos Blue^t²⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: Ben Sutton⁽⁵⁾| T: O Murphy| OR: 142| C| D

9/1

Likeable type who bagged 3m handicap hurdle at Newbury in February on his final run for Dan Skelton. Should strip fitter for last month's reappearance there but he'll need a smart performance to defy this lofty mark.

Form: 01/521-5

Crebilly⁴⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-1| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 129

3/1

Useful hurdler and chaser who shaped better than distance beaten suggests when sixth of 7 in 3m Aintree handicap hurdle on reappearance. Should strip fitter now and interesting to see what the betting makes of him with his yard back among the winners.

Form: 03695-6

Keable²⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: Callum Pritchard⁽³⁾| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 128| D

8/1

Made it 3 wins in his last 4 starts when seeing off 10 rivals on 3m Newbury reappearance, typically sowing a good attitude. A further 5 lb nudge shouldn't prevent another prominent showing.

Form: 52119-1

Royal Rambler²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: G Sheehan| T: Miss E C Lavelle| OR: 126| C

11/4

Won a 19.5f course maiden on heavy last season. No significant impact in 2 handicap starts this season but still early days. Up in trip. Respected.

Form: 3612-56

King Of The Lake^t³⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-9| J: Chad Bament⁽⁷⁾| T: J Scott| OR: 123

14/1

Completed a hat-trick at up to 21f in the spring. Resumed with a creditable third at Newton Abbot (21.5f) in October but stamina seemed stretched back at 3m when well-held fourth of 5 at Windsor since.

Form: 7111-34

Ambion View³⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-9| J: Brendan Powell| T: J Tizzard| OR: 123| BF

13/2

Made a winning start over hurdles in Exeter maiden in October 2024. Didn't really kick on from that last season but has returned with a pair of good runner-up efforts in recent months. One to consider up in trip.

Form: F238-22

Patriotik⁴²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-7| J: Isabel Williams| T: Evan Williams| OR: 121| D

10/1

3m winner at Doncaster in March and bettered that form when third of 17 in a valuable handicap at Uttoxeter (23f, soft) later that month. Has yet to fire this season but back on the mark he defied at Doncaster if staging a revival.

Form: 813-006

Ramo³⁰²

Age: 8| Weight: 10-5| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: Miss V Williams| OR: 119

33/1

Fairly useful hurdler but struggled in a light campaign last season (including fences). Best watched on return unless the betting speaks in his favour.

Form: 32P/687-

Doctor Kildare^t,v²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-4| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: S Thomas| OR: 118| BF

6/1

0-4 over hurdles for Nicky Henderson last term but different story for new yard with visor and tongue tie combination added, winning staying handicaps at Bangor and Hereford in recent months. Downed tools when blinkered instead of visored at Doncaster latest and visor makes quick return.

Form: 423-113

Classic Concorde^p²¹

Age: 12| Weight: 10-2| J: Tristan Durrell| T: D Brace| OR: 115| CD

50/1

This veteran has a good overall track record, including a win in this in 2023, but has been well below in 2 C&D handicaps this season.

Form: P4P6-08

Forecasts

Royal Rambler (11/4), Crebilly (3/1), Doctor Kildare (6/1), Ambion View (13/2), Keable (8/1), Santos Blue (9/1), Patriotik (10/1), King Of The Lake (14/1), Ramo (33/1), Classic Concorde (50/1)

AMBION VIEW had a next-time-out winner behind in third when second at Exeter last time and is taken to go one place better off the same mark. The thriving Keable is feared most ahead of Royal Rambler, who is likely in a bit better form than his 2 runs this season might suggest.
