Age: 10| Weight: 12-1| J: Ben Jones| T: B Pauling| OR: 121| D

Came good over fences at Bangor (2½m, heavy) in November. Respectable third of 10 in handicap hurdle (11/1) at Southwell (2½m, good to soft) 59 days ago. Should be competitive back chasing for last year's winning yard.

11/2

Still a maiden after 11 hurdle starts but is fairly useful at his best. Fell heavily at Sedgefield over Christmas and not seen again until below-par fourth at Chepstow 7 weeks ago. Makes chase debut.

13/2

First run over fences in almost 2 years when bagging 6-runner handicap chase at Southwell (2½m, good to soft) last month. Respectable fourth of 8 in handicap at Uttoxeter (21f, good) since. Cheekpieces back on

10/3

Course winner. Off 6 months, good second of 7 in handicap at Ffos Las (19f, good) 31 days ago, clear of rest. Big player with that run behind him.

9/1

Five-time hurdle winner who struck at the second time of asking over fences in 3-runner Wincanton handicap (good) in March. Tongue strap back on and 3 lb higher in stronger race now.

Karnaval Point^b³⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Rian Corcoran⁽⁵⁾| T: D Pipe| OR: 108

10/1

Fair dual chase winner in France this year, latterly a claimer at Auteuil (2¼m, soft) 39 days ago. Interesting to see what the betting makes of him on first run for David Pipe.

22/1

Ended a run of non-completions when fourth in selling hurdle at Stratford in March (final start for Dan Skelton). New connections acquired him for just 1,000 gns last month. Best watched now chasing.

Atreides^p,t¹¹³

Age: 8| Weight: 10-10| J: Bradley Harris⁽³⁾| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 102| D

3/1

Won back-to-back handicaps around 2½m at Plumpton and Fontwell (both soft) in December. Creditable second of 7 in handicap at Wincanton (2½m, heavy) in January. Claims if resuming from a break in similar form with visor swapped for cheekpieces.

Forecasts

Melton Mossy (7/2), Atreides (4/1), Jet Smart (6/1), Lermoos Legend (7/1), Ukantango (7/1), Country Park (8/1), Karnaval Point (8/1), Fine Casting (10/1), Disco Davis (16/1)

LERMOOS LEGEND was clear of the rest when second at Ffos Las on last month's return from a break and can go one place better at a course where he's tasted success before. Atreides will be a threat if in the same form as when last seen in midwinter, while Ukantango has made a positive return to fences for the Olly Murphy stable this spring.
