Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Toby McCain-Mitchell| T: Harry Derham| OR: 110| BF

9/2

A fair winning hurdler who has shown promise in a pair of 2½m handicaps since switching to fences and is open to progress now stepping up to 3m. Leading claims.

Form: 55/51-23

Lady In The Park^v1²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-13| J: Jack Power| T: L Russell & M Scudamore| OR: 109| CD

6/1

Reacted well to first-time blinkers when landing this race on soft ground 12 months ago. Reappeared with a respectable second at Carlisle in February. Not in the same form twice since but has dipped to just 1 lb above last year's winning mark if a change of headgear (visored now) sparks a revival.

Form: 541-254

Inis Oirr^p³²

Age: 9| Weight: 11-6| J: Gregor Walkingshaw⁽¹⁰⁾| T: L Russell & M Scudamore| OR: 102| D

9/2

Wide-margin winner of the Edinburgh National just over 2 years ago but been more miss than hit since, labouring a long way out at Carlisle last time. A leap of faith is required.

Form: P57559

Sir Carnegie^p²³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Shane Fenelon| T: M Bowen| OR: 94

12/1

Winner of 3m handicaps at Newcastle and Kelso in the autumn. Remote fourth back from a break at Newcastle last month but he may come on for the outing.

Form: 421144

Uptown Harry^v³²

Age: 12| Weight: 10-10| J: Charlie Maggs| T: Mrs J Walton| OR: 92| CD

11/2

Veteran who snapped a losing run in good style at Newcastle (3m, goods to soft) in January. Creditable in-frame efforts on all 3 outings since, the latest in a Go North final at Carlisle.

Form: 621234

Burgundy Man²¹

Age: 9| Weight: 10-9| J: Tom Broughton| T: R M Smith| OR: 91| CD

4/1

Failed to win in 20 attempts over hurdles but came good at the first time of asking over fences in C&D handicap (heavy) in October. Probably needed a recent Kelso outing after 5 months off and could go well back here.

Form: 233315

Jakana⁶³

Age: 7| Weight: 10-6| J: Conor Rabbitt| T: L Kerr| OR: 88

50/1

Increasingly temperamental mare who's shown very little over hurdles since last summer. It remains to be seen whether a switch to fences makes any difference.

Form: 795PPP

Jirko^p⁴⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-4| J: Dominic Hislop⁽¹⁰⁾| T: N W Alexander| OR: 86| BF

4/1

Didn't show a great deal in bumpers/over hurdles but this 7-y-o has shown more when placed over fences this season. However, he was let down by his jumping at Ayr with cheekpieces added (retained) last time.

Forecasts

Loulou Madrik (5/2), Burgundy Man (4/1), Jirko (4/1), Nights In Venice (4/1), Inis Oirr (9/2), Casual Observer (9/2), Uptown Harry (11/2), Lady In The Park (6/1), Sir Carnegie (12/1), William Of York (14/1), Jakana (50/1)

CASUAL OBSERVER should have more to come over fences now stepping up to 3m and can see off fellow low-mileage sort Loulou Madrik, who made a sound start to his chase career at Carlisle recently. Nights In Venice and last year's winner Lady In The Park are others to consider.
