Flemenstide²⁹

Age: 11| Weight: 12-0| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: T Faulkner| OR: 102

40/1

Bumper/hurdles winner for Paul Nicholls but off 3 years prior to offering little on yard/chase debut at Doncaster (3m) 4 weeks ago. Can only be watched.

Form: 122P7/4

One Last Glance^p,t²²

Age: 9| Weight: 11-11| J: Freddie Mitchell⁽³⁾| T: T R Gretton| OR: 99| C

5/1

Hurdles/chase scorer last term who proved as good as ever when resuming winning ways over 20f here 3 weeks ago. Consistency hasn't been a strong point this season but he merits respect with a repeat nevertheless from 5 lb higher mark.

Form: 2-6U241

Subtle Fortune²³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-8| J: Mr D Andrews⁽⁷⁾| T: Mrs M Rowley| OR: 96

4/1

Dual point winner who immediately surpassed her achievements over hurdles when landing 5-runner handicap chase at Hereford (25.2f) 23 days ago. Fortunate given likely winner departed late then but that ought not to prove her limit in this sphere.

Form: 671-441

Fay Ce Que Voudras¹⁰^{(ex 7)}

Age: 10| Weight: 11-3| J: Tom Cannon| T: Kerry Lee| OR: 84| CD

9/4

10-y-o mare who relished the step back up in trip when opening chase account over C&D on penultimate start and made light work in following up over shorter here 10 days ago, making all and in command from 2 out. Sound claims turned out under a penalty.

Form: 645F11

Esperti¹⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 11-1| J: Shane Fenelon⁽⁵⁾| T: D A Rees| OR: 89

16/1

Ended last season with success over fences and resumed in fine form winning back-to-back handicaps at Ffos Las/Fontwell. Disappointed on the back of an 8-week break when pulled up at first-named venue 2 weeks ago but no surprise to see him quickly bounce back.

Form: B1-211P

Ronnies Reflection^t¹⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 10-10| J: J M Quinlan| T: B I Case| OR: 84| CD

13/8

Both career victories gained at this C&D and despite some sloppy jumping, he enhanced his already solid record here when runner-up 10 days ago, beaten only by a progressive novice. Looks sure to make his presence felt again.

Form: P-25P22

Forecasts

Ronnies Reflection (13/8), Fay Ce Que Voudras (9/4), Subtle Fortune (4/1), One Last Glance (5/1), Esperti (16/1), Flemenstide (40/1)

A number arrive with claims but low-mileage 10-y-o FAY CE QUE VOUDRAS made light work supplementing her C&D success when following up over shorter here 10 days ago and she could prove a tough nut to crack in her hat-trick bid under a penalty. One Last Glance, Ronnies Reflection and Subtle Fortune are others of interest.
