Off time: 15:00 | Winning time: 4m 1.09s

Alshadhian^t²³⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Toby Wynne| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 99| BF| CD

6/1

Won this contest 12 months ago and proved consistent thereafter, including when creditable third of 7 in handicap chase at Carlisle (2½m, good to firm, 10/3) in October. Warrants respect on first start since.

Form: U15223-

Catchim¹²

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: James Bowen| T: C & A Pogson| OR: 99| BF| C

9/1

Didn't need to improve to get off the mark over fences at Market Rasen in April and ran poorly over same C&D since. Others more appealing.

Form: 25P31-5

Electric Eddy¹⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-11| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 96| D

25/1

Fair winning 2m hurdler who made a promising switch to fences when second at Hereford (2m) in November. Not built on that in either start since, though, and others appeal more.

Form: 13/P2P-3

Beorma^t⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 91| C| D

4/11

Much improved since fitted with a tongue tie, landing a remarkable third victory in a week in 2m Warwick handicap hurdle 6 days ago. Just 3 lb higher back over fences here and looks the one to beat.

Form: 9/P8-111

Kill The Groove^p,t³⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Tom Cannon| T: K Jewell| OR: 87

28/1

Best effort over hurdles when close second in mares handicap at Plumpton (2m) in January. Showed bit more than on chase debut when third in 2m handicap at Hereford last month and she could yet do better given the pick of her hurdles form.

Form: 62435-3

Fond Farewell^t¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-9| J: J M Quinlan| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 80

33/1

Modest Flat handicapper who hasn't troubled the judge in a handful of starts over hurdles for current yard and is likely best watched on chase debut.

Form: 687/UP-5

Walk The Plank¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-6| J: Dylan Johnston| T: C Hobson| OR: 77| D

11/1

Well backed and proved a different proposition on third chase start when winning 6-runner handicap at Huntingdon (2m) in March and ran to similar level when fourth over longer trip at Market Rasen since. Respected.

Form: PP5P1-4

Forecasts

Beorma (4/11), Alshadhian (6/1), Catchim (9/1), Walk The Plank (11/1), Electric Eddy (25/1), Kill The Groove (28/1), Fond Farewell (33/1)

It's hard to get away from BEORMA, who has scored twice over hurdles since making a winning debut in this sphere at Worcester last month. She is likely capable of better yet. Alshadhian and Walk The Plank may give her most to think about.
