Moroder^b¹¹

Age: 12| Weight: 12-0| J: James Best| T: J W Mullins| OR: 120

20/1

Dual winner of the Grimthorpe Chase at Doncaster but is hard to catch right nowadays and is easily passed over.

Form: 6PP3P4

Wicked Thoughts^p¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-13| J: Freddie Gingell| T: P F Nicholls| OR: 119| C

10/3

Won novice handicap on chasing debut at this course in November. Creditable third of 6 in handicap chase here (23f, good, 3/1) on latest run in March and one to consider now stepping up in trip.

Form: 21P-143

Autonomous Cloud^p,t⁴¹

Age: 10| Weight: 11-6| J: Paul O'Brien| T: Harry Derham| OR: 112| BF

5/1

Failed to justify strong support on first run since leaving Fergal O'Brien when seventh of 9 in handicap chase at Doncaster (3m, good to soft) in February. Drops in grade and should be suited by the return to this longer trip.

Form: 8-618P7

Puddlesinthepark^p²⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: Osian Radford⁽¹⁰⁾| T: Mrs C Williams| OR: 110| D

10/1

Made it 4 wins from 5 starts when landing 3-runner handicap at Ffos Las (3½m, good) in October. Hasn't been in the same form since but is down in grade and refitted with cheekpieces here.

Form: 1519U6

Always Busy⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 10-11| J: Jack Tudor| T: Christian Williams| OR: 103

15/8

Took a step back in the right direction when second of 5 in handicap chase at Southwell (24.3f, good to soft) 8 days ago. Remains on the same mark here (due to go up 1 Ib) and has to be taken seriously back at a course where he's gone well at before.

Form: 4F35P2

Anytrixwilldo^p⁴²

Age: 8| Weight: 10-5| J: Benjamin Macey⁽⁵⁾| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 97| CD

10/3

Unpredictable sort on the whole but returned to form with a pair of runner-up efforts at Ludlow in recent months. However, he's 3 Ib higher in the weights than when winning this last year and may have to settle for another minor role.

Form: 4PF422

Forecasts

Always Busy (15/8), Wicked Thoughts (10/3), Anytrixwilldo (10/3), Autonomous Cloud (5/1), Puddlesinthepark (10/1), Moroder (20/1)

A tight-knit handicap and it's hard to escape ALWAYS BUSY from this mark after a much better effort at Southwell last week. Wicked Thoughts could be the one for the forecast.
