33/1

Was pulled up on last start at Newbury (2m6½f, soft) on return from a winter break 74 days ago. Still 4lbs higher than last win but excellent riders claim will help in that regard. Biggest issue is jumping which has been sloppy at times.

7/1

Best efforts these days ten to come on a sound surface. Mark continues to slide as a result of some tame efforts but has Richard Johnson back on board today and wouldn't be the biggest surprise were he to bounce mark off an attractive mark .

Form: 85547-4

I See You Well²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: Daniel Sansom⁽⁵⁾| T: J W Mullins| OR: 114

3/1

good ground performer who was slightly disappointing at Warwick (2m, good) last time. Step back up in trip in his favour and is on an decent mark. Player if building on last start.

Form: 33675-5

Innocent Girl^h,t²⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 11-10| J: Kieron Edgar⁽³⁾| T: H Fry| OR: 113| C

6/1

Consistent mare who always tends to run her race. Probably in need of the outing on return to action at Exeter (2m3f, good) last month when getting tired late on. Should come on for that and is a big player once more.

Form: 2/3222-4

Not A Role Model²²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: R Patrick⁽⁵⁾| T: S Thomas| OR: 113

5/2

Runner-up on chase debut and made every yard to score last month at Kempton under this claiming rider. Carries 6lb penalty should be in the firing line again.

Form: 6/4562-1

No Buts^v¹⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 11-5| J: Harry Stock⁽⁵⁾| T: D G Bridgwater| OR: 108

10/1

Best efforts tend to come over further than this. Ran well at Towcester (3m½f, good to firm) two weeks ago but despite slipping mark may find this happening all a bit too quickly.

Form: 7575-83

Brown Bear^p²⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Tom Cannon| T: N J Gifford| OR: 103| CD

9/2

5lbs higher than when winning easily over C&D back in June last year. Form has tailed off somewhat since then and needs to bounce back. Return to this venue may help and not easy to strike a line through.

Form: 115P6-6

Forecasts

Not A Role Model (5/2), I See You Well (3/1), Brown Bear (9/2), Innocent Girl (6/1), According To Harry (7/1), No Buts (10/1), Highbury High (33/1)

You can make a pretty solid case for a few of these if they were to bounce back to their best. According To Harry is too well handicapped to ignore and has the assistance of Richard Johnson in the saddle. Brown Bear is a C&D winner who like several of these could go well if returning to form. We will go with INNOCENT GIRL who is a model of consistency and can get a well deserved win under her belt having shaped well on return at Exeter last month.
