Age: 8| Weight: 12-1| J: R D Day| T: Laura Morgan| OR: 107

11/4

Nothing special over hurdles, and didn't jump brilliantly on chase debut at Musselburgh, but still showed improved form to win readily. Respected despite a hike in the weights with tongue tie fitted.

Form: 2F1-561

Chequered View²³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Conor Shoemark| T: M Keighley| OR: 104

5/2

Won over hurdles at Southwell in October, and similar form when third at Uttoxeter last time. Claims if translating that form to fences at first time of asking.

Form: 40-3183

Minmore Present²⁴²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: Joshua Moore| T: G & J Moore| OR: 102

9/2

Point-to-point winner. Rules debut second came in a match, and better judged on latest 24½L fourth of 6 to Favorito Buck's at Fontwell last time. Every chance on that, but possible he's flattered by his proximity in a falsely run race.

Form: 62P/234-

So Sorry Sarah^p,t¹⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 11-3| J: R Johnson| T: O Murphy| OR: 95

3/1

Still a maiden after 16 starts, and hasn't really built on early promise. Disappointed over hurdles last time, and needs to find her best form now making switch to fences.

Form: 44/P325

Mr Mulliner^b²⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 10-0| J: P J Brennan| T: P Henderson| OR: 66

7/1

Back to form when third over hurdles on last two starts, and not without a chance on that evidence, but he has never shown much over fences, and is opposable on balance.

Form: 427633

Forecasts

Chequered View (5/2), Thomas Todd (11/4), So Sorry Sarah (3/1), Minmore Present (9/2), King Vince (9/2), Mr Mulliner (7/1)

THOMAS TODD improved to score on his chase debut at Musselburgh despite a mixed round of jumping, and he is the pick here assuming he can learn from that experience. Chequered View has no chasing experience, but has a more appealing profile than most, and looks best of the others ahead of the talented but disappointing So Sorry Sarah, who is also making her fencing bow.
