Selected odds by:

Sir Jack Yeats^b⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 12-6| J: Mr James King| T: R Spencer| OR: 135

7/1

Sound effort latest in a similar race at Hereford gives the gelding leading claims in this company. Has been placed at this but never yet won being the only caveat.

Form: 14P053

Toby Lerone^p⁸

Age: 11| Weight: 12-6| J: William Marshall⁽⁷⁾| T: D Skelton| OR: 129| D

10/1

Trip and ground not expected to be issues but does have something to prove after being pulled up last time out.

Form: P/1213-P

Cousin Pete^t³⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 12-2| J: Mr N Phillips⁽⁷⁾| T: Mrs Brown| D

9/5

Winner of all his completed starts, the gelding made the most of some good opportunities in point-to-points. This is a good bit tougher but he's got a ready and willing attitude, which will make him the one to beat if he's on top form today.

Form: 11/1FP-1

Farmer Matt^p1,t²³

Age: 12| Weight: 11-12| J: Mr T Murray⁽⁷⁾| T: Thomas Murray| OR: 114| D

33/1

Runner up in the 2016 renewal of this race, the gelding has leading claims on the pick of his form. Needs to improve on recent efforts but has the combination of a tongue tie and cheekpieces for assistance this time around.

Form: P426-13

Real Milan^b¹⁹

Age: 13| Weight: 11-12| J: Mr J H Jones⁽⁷⁾| T: Nick J Jones| OR: 110| D

11/2

Multiple winner over the years and is a highly versatile individual. Dangerous to underestimate at this level and likely to be a player once more.

Form: 122-332

Warden Hill^p1²³

Age: 10| Weight: 11-12| J: Mr T Chatfeild-Roberts⁽⁷⁾| T: Mrs H Connors| OR: 123| C| D

2/1

Won a mixed open point-to-point latest and has to be respected on the bare form. This is a good bit tougher, however, and he needs to up his game once more.

Form: 20212-1

Forecasts

Cousin Pete (9/5), Warden Hill (2/1), Real Milan (11/2), Sir Jack Yeats (7/1), Toby Lerone (10/1), Farmer Matt (33/1)

A tough one to call as none can confidently be ruled out. However, COUSIN PETE has proved to be very hard to master when he puts his mind to the task in hand, so the ten-year-old just edges the verdict as the one to be on again here. Real Milan has also proved to be a reliable option over the years and also merits consideration, while Farmer Matt, who was runner up in the 2016 renewal, also makes plenty of a appeal on the pick of his form.
