Lost his form last season and hasn't offered much in 2 starts this campaign, on the retreat when crashing out at Bangor last month. Others make greater appeal.
|
Not the most fluent of jumpers but he's yet to finish outside of the frame this season, doing well to last as long as he did under a forcing ride when third here (23.4f, soft) 31 days ago. Others remain likelier winners, though.
|
Jumped well when winning this race from the front last season before following up at Chepstow 2 weeks later. Hasn't made a major impact in 3 starts this season, the last of those coming in December, so will need to return to Newbury to spark him back to form from slipping mark.
|
Wide margin winner on chase/stable debut at Perth in July before sound runner-up efforts from much-inflated mark next 2 outings. Made successful return from 6-month break at Taunton (21.7f, good to soft) 3 weeks ago, again jumping and travelling well, and has to be of interest from 7 lb higher.
|
Fairly useful chaser at her best in France and after 2 low-key runs over hurdles for Venetia Williams, was right back to form reverted to chasing when winning an 8-runner handicap at Ludlow (2½m) last month. Had plenty in hand there and should be in the mix again from 6 lb higher mark.
|
Still a maiden over hurdles but has won 3 of his last 4 starts over fences, proving better than ever when landing a 13-runner handicap at Fairyhouse (3m, heavy) last month. 11 lb higher now but this Irish raider is respected.
|
Gained second hurdles win at Chepstow over Christmas before following up on his chase debut at Doncaster in February. Beaten by one that got first run when runner-up in a 7-runner event back at Chepstow (19.4f, soft) last month and he's considered from same mark.
|
Has held her form well since successful on chasing bow at Warwick in October, seeing off a trio of more exposed rivals in good style at Fakenham last month. Up 5 lb but should go well again.
|
Opened chase account at Chepstow (23.6f) following a breathing operation on second of 2 starts last season and good second at same course in November following a 12-month absence. Back on track after another breathing operation at Ludlow last time and he holds solid place claims.
|
A fairly useful but very lightly-raced winner over hurdles. Shaped as if needing the run at Exeter on chase debut and showed better form on the back of a breathing operation when fourth of 8 at this course (2½m) 3 weeks ago. Longer trip should suit.
|
Looked an improved model when routing the opposition on his reappearance at Worcester in October but hasn't built on that when completing twice since and his jumping remains a cause for concern. Tongue strap and cheekpieces applied.

Forecasts
Wheresmemoneygone (7/4), King Califet (7/2), Kalista Love (6/1), Another Fine Mess (9/1), Petty Cash (10/1), Sheldon (11/1), Holetown (14/1), The Boola Boss (16/1), Galop De Chasse (28/1), Dunstall Rambler (28/1), One Horse Army (33/1)
WHERESMEMONEYGONE is progressive type whose bold-jumping front-running style should lend itself well to Newbury. He's taken to follow up his recent Taunton success at the chief expense of Holetown, who proved a different proposition sent back over fences last time and could still be on a handy mark based on her French form, whilst Another Fines Mess has taken well to chasing and completes the shortlist in a strong race for the grade.
