Selected odds by:
In good form for most of last season winning a couple of novice hurdles and placing in handicaps thereafter. Well beaten at Newbury (3m, soft) last time out and making his seasonal and chasing debut today.
Victorious on soft ground in a handicap hurdle over 3m at Newbury last November but well beaten on final two starts of that campaign. Worth a check in the market on his switch to handicaps.
Consistent sort and finished second in two starts since winning a maiden hurdle at Uttoxeter (2m4f, soft) nearly a year ago. Unproven on ground quicker than good-to-soft but yard are in form (6/24) and making his chasing debut today.
Victorious on his final two starts over hurdles in the spring and ran well to finish 2L second to an eased winner on chasing debut over an extended 2m5f at Fontwell (good) earlier this month. Has won over this trip in the past.
Held in two starts since winning a handicap hurdle over 2m4f at Uttoxeter (soft) in March. Latest of those came on chasing debut at Fontwell and work to do if he's to reverse form with Pickamix on that running.
Put a disappointing effort behind him when finishing third over 3m at Cheltenham (good) in a handicap hurdle in April. Making his seasonal and chasing debut today with trip and ground both likely to suit.
Winning point-to-pointer and successful twice over hurdles last season. Best efforts have come on soft and heavy ground and she makes her chasing debut today.
Placed in five of his six starts over fences including when runner-up in a four runner contest over an extended 2m1f at Fontwell (good-to-firm) in June. Steps up in trip having finished well beaten at Fontwell last time out.
Successful twice over hurdles and a fair effort despite finishing a well beaten last of four on chasing debut at Ffos Las (3m, good) in May. Well held over hurdles earlier this month and interesting to see how he fares today.
Forecasts
Pickamix (3/1), Rolling Dylan (3/1), Scotchtown (4/1), Solomn Grundy (7/1), Fortunate George (8/1), Remind Me Later (10/1), The Wallace Line (25/1), Alf 'n' Dor (25/1), Sparkling River (33/1)
PICKAMIX ran well when finishing runner-up on his chasing debut earlier this month and with this slight step up in trip likely to suit he can get off the mark at the second time of asking over fences. Charlie Mann's stable are in good form and with the ground also in the selections favour he can see off Rolling Dylan who showed a good level of form over hurdles and makes his chasing debut today. Remind Me Later hasn't always looked the easiest ride but he has won a point-to-point over further in the past and having won off a higher mark over hurdles a couple of years ago he can claim third today.
