King Roly^t²⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 12-2| J: James Bowen| T: M Bowen| OR: 122| D

2/1

Took well to chasing in first half of last season, winning 3 of first 5 starts with latest success at Perth in September. Looked rusty after a break at the same course last month, so he could be competitive this time around with yard hitting form.

Tapley^t³³

Age: 9| Weight: 12-0| J: Isabelle Ryder⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss S Smith| OR: 120| CD

6/4

Opened chase account at Wincanton in November and has continued in good heart since, idling in front when scoring over this C&D in March. Shaped as if still in form when third of 4 at Newton Abbot last time and he can make his presence felt.

Bagheera Ginge^v1²¹⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-13| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 119| C

9/1

Bounced back to winning ways when making all in 4-runner race at Newton Abbot (3¼m) in September. However, reverted to his error-prone ways when pulled up at Sedgefield (29f) when last seen in October. Drops back in grade with visor reached for.

Form: 7/7231P-

Okavango Delta^p¹⁴⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 11-3| J: S Bowen| T: Paul Robson| OR: 109

7/1

Got back on the up after 4 months off when scoring at Worcester (2½m) a year ago and good second at Musselburgh after another break in November. Made a bad early error at Musselburgh the following month, but he could be in the mix after 5 months off.

Form: 9/14526-

Arrycan^p1¹²

Age: 12| Weight: 10-13| J: J M Quinlan| T: Nick Scholfield| OR: 105| D

13/2

Fairly useful handicapper at best in Ireland but isn't the easiest to catch right, his last success coming back in June 2023. Failed to come on for recent stable debut when fifth of 9 at Ffos Las (3m) 12 days ago, but he lurks on a dangerous mark with cheekpieces applied.

Form: P9205-5

Grillon De Monty^h¹⁹⁶

Age: 11| Weight: 10-10| J: Lewis Stones⁽³⁾| T: Stephen Allen| OR: 102| D

28/1

Won twice over 23f at Worcester last summer and remained in good form when making the frame over the same C&D in October. However, was tailed off over hurdles at Huntingdon when last seen in November. Hood applied for first time for current yard.

Forecasts

Tapley (6/4), King Roly (2/1), Diplomatic Ash (4/1), Arrycan (13/2), Jubilant (7/1), Okavango Delta (7/1), Bagheera Ginge (9/1), Grillon De Monty (28/1)

KING ROLY quickly made up into a better chaser than hurdler last season, doing well around this time of the year, and with his recent run behind him is taken to resume winning ways. Tapley won with something in hand over this C&D on his penultimate start and could be the main danger, ahead of Okavango Delta.
