Selected odds by:
Quirky type who hasn't really fired over fences so far in six attempts although the handicapper is giving him a chance of late and he looked a little better last time. Runs off the same mark here but is eased in grade and has experience on his side.
Shown some definite promise over hurdles in the past although his two most recent starts have been disappointing and he's now switches to fences for the first time. Far too keen last time but of interest if he settles off a mark that looks workable.
Took his third win over fences when completing a four-timer off a mark 19lb higher than the start of his winning spree. Turned in a lacklustre effort last time out over C&D off this mark and needs to bounce back now.
A maiden point-to-point winner on his debut in that sphere he may need a switch to fences to reinvigorate her having run poorly over hurdles on a return from a break. Still above her last winning mark though and needs to show some spark.
A winning point-to -pointer his form over hurdles is rather in-and-out with his best recent run coming on his penultimate start over 3m. Failed to follow up that run and now makes his chasing debut off a 3lb higher mark.
His winning and impressive bumper debut seems all too long ago now (came back in early 2014) and there must have been problems as he's only managed three hurdles runs since. Now makes his fencing/handicap debut off another lengthy break.

Runs from well out of the handicap and that gives him a tough enough task even before you take into account his moderate form over fences. Hard to fashion a case for him here; wears first-time cheekpieces.
Forecasts
Alf 'n' Dor (6/4), Bocasien Desbois (9/2), Kings Temptation (9/2), Goodnight Charlie (13/2), Knocknamona (9/1), Echnaton (16/1), Heritage Way (25/1), Court Painter (33/1)
A distinct lack of solid form here with Alf ‘N’ Dor setting a reasonable standard but he’s hardly the most reliable sort despite his mark giving him a chance here. Knocknamona needs to bounce back to his the form that saw him record a four-timer earlier in the season but he did run poorly here last time and his yard are rather quiet at the moment. Bocasien Desbois has on occasions shown some reasonable form over hurdles and a repeat of that would see him go close on chase debut. All in all though a chance is taken with KINGS TEMPTATION who needs to settle better but on his best hurdles form isn’t out of this and he’s always looked the sort to take to chasing.
- Kings Temptation
- Bocasien Desbois
- Alf 'n' Dor
