10/1

Finished runner-up twice in the autumn and made a satisfactory return from a break when third at Musselburgh in January. Well held later that month however and others make more appeal.

Form: 83-2234

Age: 10| Weight: 11-11| J: P J Brennan| T: F O'Brien| OR: 128| C

7/2

Victorious over 2m4f at Perth (good) last April and has run well in defeat twice since. Beaten 24L over the Grand National fences at Aintree last time and he is dropping in trip today.

Form: P/971-44

Imperial Presence³⁰³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: R Johnson| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 128| CD

9/2

Victorious in this race off a 1lb lower mark 12 months ago but hasn't been seen since finishing fifth at Warwick (2m4f, good) in May. Worth a check in the market on his first outing in ten months.

Form: 25512-5

Big Jim¹⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 11-7| J: Kielan Woods| T: A M Hales| OR: 124| D

11/2

Four time winner and just touched off in a three runner handicap chase at Sandown (soft) last time out. Races off the same mark today and is one for the shortlist in this contest.

Form: 1/6-5162

Rock On Rocky^p,t¹⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 11-6| J: Stan Sheppard⁽³⁾| T: M Sheppard| OR: 123| D

13/2

Successful five times from 41 starts including on good-to-soft ground at Sandown 12 months ago. Some fair efforts since and this return to 2m looks likely to suit.

Form: 422344

Get Rhythm¹⁰⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-5| J: Adrian Heskin| T: T R George| OR: 122| BF| D

10/3

Dual winner last spring including on chase debut at Ffos Las (2m, good). Has placed twice since off this 5lb higher mark and he is likely to run well on his return from a break.

Form: 6-21123

Exmoor Mist^p,t³²

Age: 10| Weight: 10-5| J: James Best| T: V R A Dartnall| OR: 108| CD

8/1

Put a number of disappointing efforts behind him when finishing 10L second in first time cheekpieces at Taunton (2m2f, soft) last month. Interesting if repeating that effort today.

Form: P/7P-972

Forecasts

Get Rhythm (10/3), Mystifiable (7/2), Imperial Presence (9/2), Big Jim (11/2), Rock On Rocky (13/2), Exmoor Mist (8/1), Ut Majeur Aulmes (10/1)

GET RHYTHM remains unexposed over fences and he can register his second victory in four starts in this sphere by taking this concluding race on the card on his return from a break. The soft ground forecast today should suit Tom George's charge and he can get the better of last years winner Imperial Presence who is another returning from a break. Big Jim was narrowly beaten last time and he can finish third today.
