Plus Jamais^p²⁹

Age: 12| Weight: 11-13| J: Danny McMenamin⁽⁷⁾| T: I Jardine| OR: 122| C

10/1

Has had a few excuses since winning at Newcastle in February. Now gets his chance in a lesser grade and one to keep an eye on with promising claimer on board.

Form: 61PU-P6

Angus Milan^t³⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 11-11| J: Mr N McParlan⁽³⁾| T: N C Kelly| OR: 120| CD

10/1

Return to this venue a plus but hard to enthuse over his tame effort in a three runner race last time and something to prove now.

Form: 5-37P33

Hills Of Dubai²¹

Age: 10| Weight: 11-9| J: B S Hughes| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 118| C

6/1

2 from 2 here at slightly shorter. This represents a drop in grade after Haydock last time and doesn't have many miles on the clock for a 10-year-old.

Form: 1123-25

Well Above Par³¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: D R Fox| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 118| BF

6/1

Jumped well when making all at Hexham and may have found the race coming too soon when failing to land the odds on quick return there. That winner has followed up since to give the form a stronger look and solid claims here.

Form: 3/2F6-12

Pookie Pekan²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: Sam Coltherd⁽⁵⁾| T: W Coltherd| OR: 112| D

8/1

A pair of decent efforts since scoring in lower grade at Wetherby in November. Still young enough to progress though probably needs to.

Form: 16-7122

Ueueteotl³⁷¹

Age: 11| Weight: 11-3| J: Steven Fox⁽⁵⁾| T: J Ewart| OR: 112

8/1

Yard going well but off the track for a year which is a concern for this veteran. Front runner.

Form: 273/373-

Bulls Head²⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Danny Cook| T: M Todhunter| OR: 111| C

25/1

Much improved over hurdles last winter but yet to show much over the larger obstacles. Still early days yet so can't be dismissed out of hand.

Form: 112-9FP

Leskinfere^p⁵⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: Harry Skelton| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 110

12/1

Jumped out to the right when midfield on chasing debut and goes the same way around here. Often backed so presumably thought capable of better than he's showed.

Form: 6437-57

Calivigny^v²²

Age: 10| Weight: 11-0| J: Lucy Alexander| T: N W Alexander| OR: 109| C

11/2

Wind surgery has certainly helped and although his win last time was over 3m2f, he has lots of form at this shorter trip. A bold show from Geronimo in the previous race will be a positive.

Form: 64-3311

Fiddlers Bow¹²

Age: 10| Weight: 11-0| J: Henry Brooke| T: Julia Brooke| OR: 109| C

5/1

Not sure if it was the drop down to 2m or first run since a breathing operation, but he looked a different proposition when scooting clear on the run here last time. Bold bid expected if in the same form.

Form: 522-321

Orioninverness^p,t³⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: S Mulqueen⁽³⁾| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 109

8/1

Consistent chaser who should again run his race. Perhaps vulnerable for win purposes but should give backers a run for their money.

Form: 3-F1322

Forecasts

Fiddlers Bow (5/1), Calivigny (11/2), Well Above Par (6/1), Hills Of Dubai (6/1), Orioninverness (8/1), Pookie Pekan (8/1), Ueueteotl (8/1), Angus Milan (10/1), Plus Jamais (10/1), Leskinfere (12/1), Bulls Head (25/1)

Plenty come here in good nick and a narrow vote in an open heat goes to FIDDLERS BOW who looked a different sort on latest start. Dangers abound and Calivigny heads the list with Well Above Par looking a player as well.
