7/2

10/3

Promise when placing in 3 of his first 4 starts switched to fences this winter before disappointing at Southwell last month. However, ought to have ground conditions to suit here and looks a likely player.

Form: 2-2253P

8/1

Fair winner of a conditions hurdle in France in 2023 who posted best effort for this yard when second on chase debut at Catterick in January. Looked beaten when falling over C&D since, however, and others make more appeal.

Form: 42/8P2F

Dj Pete^p²⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-2| J: James Best| T: S-J Davies| OR: 97| BF

4/1

Showed a game attitude to get off the mark (by a head) at fifteenth attempt in 2m handicap chase as Ffos Las last month and may have found race coming too soon when below par at same course since. Not ruled out.

Form: 25P415

Forecasts

Paddys Policy (2/1), Disguisedlimit (10/3), Epinephrine (7/2), Dj Pete (4/1), Jiair Madrik (8/1)

DISGUISEDLIMIT may have overdone the front-running tactics when below par at Southwell last month and remains fairly treated. He gets the nod. Dj Pete is feared most.
