Turban¹³

Age: 11| Weight: 12-4| J: T J O'Brien| T: P Henderson| OR: 106| C

7/2

Has made just about all to win two of his last four runs and his latest at Plumpton was emphatic for which his 7lb rise was fully justified. Bit more on his plate but does bring recent winning form to the table.

Form: 401471

Full Shift^p,t⁷⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr D Skehan⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs S Leech| OR: 102

6/1

Nowhere near the force he was in the days with Nicky Henderson and easily passed over despite his dropping mark.

Form: P-57455

Mortens Leam⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Philip Donovan⁽⁷⁾| T: M Hawker| OR: 102

18/1

Won off a higher mark at Fakenham last December but form has fallen apart since then and got no further than the fifth on latest chase run.

Form: U-60P8U

Water Wagtail^p²¹⁰

Age: 11| Weight: 11-13| J: Patrick Cowley⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss E C Lavelle| OR: 101

9/2

Tends to go well after a break so latest absence not a concern. This tends to be his time of year as well so enough positives to make him a contender in a weak finale.

Form: 3F/13R7-

Ballyantics¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: James Best| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 94| BF

7/1

Creditable second on chase debut but never figured on return to Bangor since when a couple of early mistakes seemed to unsettle him. Has the ability but something to prove on the jumping front.

Form: 546-227

Arquebusier^p,t⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: Jamie Bargary| T: Mrs E Bishop| OR: 88| C

11/4

Finished last season on a low but shaped quite well on Warwick comeback run and if he can build on that he is well treated now. First and second from only two previous visits here.

Form: 42P6P-5

Broughtons Bandit^t¹³

Age: 11| Weight: 10-0| J: J E Moore| T: P York| OR: 73| D

50/1

Badly out of sorts for a while and hard to see him reverse the form with Turban on latest run when tailed off behind that rival.

Form: 3/3PP54

Monet Moor²⁰⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 10-0| J: Bryony Frost| T: J D Frost| OR: 69

22/1

Little bit better at Newton Abbot last time but that still isn't saying much and needs to improve plenty to be a contender here.

Form: 07P8/63-

Wish In A Well^b²²⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 10-0| J: J J Burke| T: B I Case| OR: 66

20/1

Fakenham third on new years day was a beacon of light in a poor season last term and was beaten a long way the other times he made the frame.

Form: PP2363-

Midnight Owle^t¹⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: David Noonan| T: Miss C Dyson| OR: 66

11/1

Achieved very little when second in a three horse race at Stratford recently and easy to look elsewhere from 8lb out of the weights.

Form: P497-P2

Grayhawk^p¹³

Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: M Goldstein| T: Mrs D Grissell| OR: 64

66/1

Tailed off in hunter chase and handicap since switching to this yard and very hard to fancy from 10lb out of the weights.

Form: P41-395

Forecasts

Arquebusier (11/4), Turban (7/2), Water Wagtail (9/2), Full Shift (6/1), Filemon (6/1), Ballyantics (7/1), Midnight Owle (11/1), Mortens Leam (18/1), Wish In A Well (20/1), Monet Moor (22/1), Broughtons Bandit (50/1), Grayhawk (66/1)

Turban is likely to be popular in his bid for a quick follow up but under his welter burden he may struggle to contain FILEMON who shapes as though he may have improvement to come. With a better round of jumping Ballyantics can make the frame.
