Knight Of Noir^p,t²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-8| J: Nick Scholfield| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 132

8/1

Absent for over 18 months prior to finishing well beaten on debut for this yard at Chepstow in december. Useful hurdler a couple of years ago but a bit to prove at present.

Form: 9/73PP3-

Alcala^t³⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: P F Nicholls| OR: 130

9/2

Ran well on chase debut in a handicap at Uttoxeter last time out, that form has been let down by the winner since but he represents a top yard and likely ground and trip should suit, leading contender.

Form: 46132-6

Final Nudge^p1³¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-5| J: G Sheehan| T: David Dennis| OR: 129

4/1

Successful on his debut over fences in november, disappointing in two starts since but has a few pounds in hand relative to his hurdles mark and could go well here.

Form: 2531-13

Colin's Brother²⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Jamie Bargary⁽³⁾| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 128

11/4

Winner of his last two outings including in an eventful heat at Ludlow last time out. Interesting to see how he fares back up in trip for leading yard here.

Form: 23P19-1

Nansaroy^p1²⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams| OR: 125

11/2

Well held on chasing debut and a few lengths to find with today's rival Alcala on Uttoxeter running last time out. Wears cheekpieces for the first time here.

Form: 3/45224-

Millanisi Boy^t³⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-1| J: C O'Farrell| T: R Woollacott| OR: 125

12/1

Winning hurdler who finished third in a large field at Cheltenham back in november. Fell when last seen in action over hurdles at Chepstow over Christmas but should have the ground to suit for this chasing debut.

Form: 32169-3

Truckers Glory^b²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: J J Burke| T: Miss R Curtis| OR: 125

7/1

First time blinkers appeared to work when successful at Bangor last time out, has been upped 11lbs for that success but the form looks decent with the runner-up winning since and he represents a yard that does well here.

Form: 53/2-231

Forecasts

Colin's Brother (11/4), Final Nudge (4/1), Alcala (9/2), Nansaroy (11/2), Truckers Glory (7/1), Knight Of Noir (8/1), Millanisi Boy (12/1)

COLIN'S BROTHER has been in good form thus far this season making all in two handicap chase successes over shorter. The selection can employ similar tactics here and get the better of Alcala who ran well enough on chasing debut last time out to suggest he can be competitive here and Millanisi Boy who should appreciate the likely underfoot conditions. 1. Colin's Brother 2. Alcala 3. Millanisi Boy
