10/3

Won Grade 2 novice chase at Kempton in 2023/24. Lightly raced since but has made a positive start for this yard, running a third really good race in little over 3 weeks when fourth of 22 in the Ultima at Cheltenham. Big shout if busy spell hasn't caught up with him.

8/1

Took well to chasing last season when a dual 2m scorer and he's continued on the up this term, runner-up for the third time when beaten just a head at Windsor in January. Allowed winner too much rope at Kelso since and worth a go at this longer trip.

Form: F-22424

2/1

Opened his account over fences in 2m4f Newbury handicap in December. Backed it up with a couple of good efforts before pulled up in the Ultima at Cheltenham Festival (jumping errors before badly hampered). Worth another chance back down in class.

11/4

Much improved for the switch to fences this term, making all over C&D in November. Looked set to bag a second success here when unseated rider 3 out (in front) just after Christmas. Found Cheltenham Festival too competitive last time and remains of interest back in calmer waters. Tongue strap on.

Form: 8-512UP

Jaipaletemps^t¹⁸

13/2

Having a prolific season, winning for the fifth time when asserting close home over C&D 18 days ago. However, up another 5 lb and doesn't have his regular conditional claiming this time.

Miralago^t,v⁶⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 10-2| J: Finn Lambert⁽³⁾| T: G Nicholls| OR: 118| D

16/1

Ex-French winning hurdler/chaser who ran creditably when making the frame first 3 starts for present yard but showed nothing in cross country at Cheltenham Festival since and looks up against it from 4 lb out of the handicap. Visor on 1st time.

Forecasts

Knight Of Allen (2/1), Ben Solo (11/4), Blow Your Wad (10/3), Soldierofthestorm (5/1), Jaipaletemps (13/2), Torneo (8/1), Olivers Travels (10/1), Miralago (16/1)

BEN SOLO faced a stiff task from out of the handicap at the Cheltenham Festival last time and remains of interest back in calmer waters. Knight of Allen will also appreciate the drop back in class, while Blow Your Wad ran another cracker for this yard in the Ultima but another relatively quick turnout is a slight concern.
