Off time: 19:42 | Winning time: 5m 1.03s

Lion Of The Desert^h²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: Joe Anderson⁽³⁾| T: G Harris| OR: 94

5/1

Maiden but reached the frame in 2 handicaps in February and possibly failed to stay 3m at Chepstow latest.

Form: 309349

Cumhacht⁶⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-5| J: S Bowen| T: Miss R Curtis| OR: 89

6/4

Long-standing maiden but runner-up twice in 2m course handicaps (both under Sean Bowen) since returning from a long absence. Also runner-up over C&D earlier in career. Has to enter calculations.

Form: 44/2782

Neeps And Tatties^h³⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: R T Phillips| OR: 85

5/1

Best effort when second of 6 over C&D (heavy) 36 days ago, appearing to benefit from a return to front-running tactics. Claims if in similar form again.

Form: 507472

Forest Spirit¹⁸⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: James Bowen| T: M Bowen| OR: 83

25/1

Fair Flat winner. Failed to better poor form over hurdles in the autumn, including a C&D handicap, but it's still fairly early days with her in this sphere. First outing for 6 months.

Form: 0975

Whatmakes Honey B^t²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: Ben Godfrey| T: H Brown| OR: 82

28/1

Made a successful handicap debut at Taunton (19f) last spring but hasn't come close to adding to her tally this season.

Form: 1-P94P6

Jour D'orage^p²⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-6| J: Bradley Harris⁽³⁾| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 76

8/1

Ran a bit better when seventh of 12 over this trip at Wincanton 4 weeks ago but has yet to seriously threaten in a handicap.

Form: 8-547P7

Mancero^b²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Jack Tudor| T: D Pipe| OR: 82

10/3

Hurdle winner in France. Yet to reproduce that form for David Pipe but ran better when keeping on from too far back for fourth at Wincanton (2½m, good) 3 weeks ago. Being eased another 2 lb can only help. Respected.

Form: P6P744

Spanish Dancer⁷⁵

Weight: 12-0| Age: 7

Forecasts

Cumhacht (6/4), Mancero (10/3), Lion Of The Desert (5/1), Neeps And Tatties (5/1), Spanish Dancer (5/1), Jour D'orage (8/1), Royal Rhythm (12/1), Forest Spirit (25/1), Whatmakes Honey B (28/1)

ROYAL RHYTHM might be worth chancing back from a break having dipped to the same mark as when narrowly denied by a next-time-out winner at Worcester last summer. Mancero caught the eye a bit when keeping on from too far back at Wincanton recently and is second choice ahead of Cumhacht, who has placed on all 4 visits to Ffos Las, and Neeps And Tatties.
