Now Look At Me⁵⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: J J Burke| T: T R George

6/4

Good level of form to win and finish second at Wincanton. Plenty to do under his penalty, but has to be respected.

Form: 12

Brookevale⁸¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Jordan Nailor⁽⁷⁾| T: N & W Twiston-Davies

18/1

Fell in his only point-to-point and was well held on bumper debut at Bangor. Needs to improve, but is in good hands,

Form: F-7

Fubar⁵¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: David Bass| T: K Bailey & M Nicholls

11/4

Fair level of form in three bumpers, latterly when third of nine at Warwick. Likely to give another good account for last year's winning stable

Form: 243

One More Fleurie²⁹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: T J O'Brien| T: Ian Williams

15/2

Promise when second of nine on his only start in an Irish point-to-point. Shrewd stable has gone a bit quiet, but he is worth a market check nevertheless.

Form: 2-

Pingley Lad⁶⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: D A Jacob| T: C T Pogson

18/1

Jamaican Flight gelding who finished third of nine, beaten some way, on his only start at Catterick. Should come on for the run.

Form: 3

Welsh Saint⁶⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: James Bowen| T: N J Henderson| BF

3/1

Full-brother to the very smart hurdler/chaser Irish Saint. Evens favourite when only fourth of seven on soft ground on debut at Bangor and can surely do better for leading stable.

Form: 4

Master Newton⁶⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-7| J: Thomas Dowson⁽³⁾| T: P A Kirby

50/1

Mastercraftsman gelding who attracted a little market support before finishing down the field at Newcastle on debut. The winner of that race has scored again, but this gelding may need more time to develop.

Form: 9

Forecasts

Now Look At Me (6/4), Fubar (11/4), Welsh Saint (3/1), One More Fleurie (15/2), Brookevale (18/1), Pingley Lad (18/1), Master Newton (50/1)

Now Look At Me sets a fair standard, but it is not easy conceding weight in these events and WELSH SAINT, well backed when only fourth of seven on debut at Bangor, can show his true worth on this sounder surface. The consistent Fubar may give him most to do, while any money for One More Fleurie would be worth noting.
