11/2

Progressive individual over hurdles and fences and impressive at Plumpton on penultimate start. Confidently ridden last time but was held when hampered by a late faller. Current mark may be up with events.

Form: 111-F13

Fair Loch⁴⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 12-0| J: C O'Farrell| T: B Ellison| OR: 122| CD

12/1

Not that badly handicapped at present but his latest run was marred by errors. Drops in class today but obviously needs to tidy up his jumping.

Form: 342-P47

Boagrius^t1⁵⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr N George⁽⁷⁾| T: T R George| OR: 122

9/2

Won his bumper a year ago but looked a weak finisher in subsequent starts. Backed ahead of his chase debut two months ago, but stopped quickly and was reported to have a breathing problem. Tongue-tie fitted and the market will be informative.

Form: 13224-P

Royal Plaza^p1,t⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: C Poste| T: O Murphy| OR: 120

4/1

1-21 record and getting little respite from the handicapper at present. Drops in trip having disappointed last time and new headgear fitted.

Form: 2423F6

Argentix⁴³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: D R Fox| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 113

3/1

A winner over fences in France and went well on both his starts over fences for his current yard. Shaped much better than the bare result last time out when forcing a strong pace at Carlisle; this shorter trip will suit if he handles the ground.

Form: 3/19-28

Keel Haul^p⁴²

Age: 9| Weight: 11-4| J: T Dowling⁽⁵⁾| T: Henry Oliver| OR: 112

14/5

Five-time winner who signalled he was nearing his best last time. Dropped in class and has a good record in this grade. Conditions to suit and went well on sole start here

Form: 4556-64

Forecasts

Keel Haul (14/5), Argentix (3/1), Royal Plaza (4/1), Boagrius (9/2), Master Burbidge (11/2), Fair Loch (12/1), Thankyou Very Much (12/1)

KEEL HAUL looked as though he would be adding to his tally soon when producing his best run for a while last time. He is one of the few who looks well handicapped and who will appreciate the forecast conditions. Argentix is a potential improver, as is Boagrius who had breathing problems last time.
