Third of 7 at Kelso on reappearance before running last of 5 in handicap at Sandown Park (16/1) 55 days ago. This is easier.

Form: 3121-35

11/1

Eighth of 12 in maiden chase at Down Royal (12/1) 34 days ago, made mistake at eighth and dropped away from home turn in first-time tongue strap. Tongue strap removed. Down in trip and open to improvement as a chaser.

Form: 64275-8

Disguisedlimit²⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: Craig Nichol| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 111

10/1

Promising runs over fences at Newcastle and Musselburgh upon return. Fifth of 10 in handicap chase (12/1) 29 days ago but unsuited by how that developed. Better judged on previous form and could figure dropped in trip.

Form: 232-225

Flash Du Pistolet²⁹⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: Sean Quinlan| T: W Coltherd| OR: 108| BF| D

18/1

Ex-pointer who took a step forward to score twice in March. Hat-trick never looked on the cards when last seen but type to bounce back. Off 9 months.

Form: 53311P-

Wotter Trotter^p²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 106

3/1

Fourth of 10 in handicap chase at Uttoxeter (25/1) 29 days ago, displayed improvement in first-time cheekpieces but weakened after blunder 3 out. Could build on that back in trip and one to consider.

Form: 462-764

Ballyfort^h,t²⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-2| J: Bruce Lynn| T: N W Alexander| OR: 106| CD

7/1

Won weak 4-runner C&D handicap chase (13/8) 27 days ago. Up 3lbs and jumping concerns remain. Vulnerable.

Form: 149-131

Carcaci Castle^t,p³⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 11-1| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: A M Thomson| OR: 105| D

10/1

Second of 8 in handicap chase at Musselburgh (22/1) 38 days ago. Remains to be seen if able to back that up.

Form: 3PF-572

Tommy Combats¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-9| J: Callum Bewley| T: M Todhunter| OR: 99| BF| D

3/1

Has finished 2nd in 3 of his last 5 chase starts including again at this course 89 days ago. Unseated rider at ninth when favourite of 9 in handicap (9/4) 14 days ago. Well worth another chance after that mishap.

Form: 1242-2U

Chumlee^h³¹

Age: 11| Weight: 10-2| J: Harry Reed| T: Miss S E Forster| OR: 86| D

40/1

Last of 3 in novice chase at Kelso (25/1) 31 days ago, no chance at the weights. Hard to fancy.

Form: 2/P5-443

Forecasts

Tommy Combats (3/1), Wotter Trotter (3/1), Ballyfort (7/1), Great Pepper (17/2), Disguisedlimit (10/1), Netywell (10/1), Carcaci Castle (10/1), Kinbara Firstdraft (11/1), Flash Du Pistolet (18/1), Coup De Coeur (18/1), Chumlee (40/1)

WOTTER TROTTER showed something closer to his hurdles form when fourth at Uttoxeter last month, displaying improvement in first-time cheekpieces despite a late blunder, and may be capable of better. Tommy Combats is well worth another chance after unseating as favourite a fortnight ago. Disguisedlimit is better judged on his earlier chase form and could figure.
