Horse silk
Bestwork112
Age: 8|  Weight: 12-2| J: J J Burke| T: C E Longsdon| OR:  122| CD
9/2
Quirky sort who is hard to rely on and needs to dominate to be seen at his best; has looked out of sorts of late. Remains above his last winning mark and despite the ease in grade doesn't make much appeal here unless gaining an easy lead.
2
Horse silk
Envole Toi21
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-12| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR:  118
6/1
Despite three chase wins when trained in France he's yet to convince in this sphere in GB; jumped with little fluency last time (often out to his left). Fallen to his lowest mark yet over fences but still best watched for now.
3
Horse silk
Blairs Covet19
Age: 7|  Weight: 11-8| J: Bridget Andrews| T: D Skelton| OR:  114| D
11/2
Dual winning novice hurdler who has gradually gone the wrong way in that sphere finding his opening handicap mark too exacting. Recent chasing debut back from a break lacked any promise; questions to answer here despite the good form of the yard.

Horse silk
Keep Moving10
Age: 7|  Weight: 11-8| J: T J O'Brien| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR:  114
11/4
Took what seemed an age to get off the mark over fences but did so with a polished display at Warwick in December off a 10lb lower mark. Produced a duo of mixed performances since; best judged on a good second at Chepstow last time.
5
Horse silk
Gone Platinumt32
Age: 10|  Weight: 11-7| J: Lorcan Williams(5)| T: D A Rees| OR:  113| D
6/1
Dual chase winner this season (cut in the ground both times); performed well for the most part including over hurdles (ran into an improver). Best not judged on his run last time (got in a poor position; hampered also); still worth keeping onside.
6
Horse silk
Jarlath14
Age: 8|  Weight: 11-6| J: Kevin Jones(3)| T: J W Mullins| OR:  112
5/1
Showed the best side of him when winning at Warwick earlier in the season; has failed to turn in a complete jumping display since (best going left-handed). Remains 2lb above his last winning mark; jumping still a question mark/doubt for backers.
7
Horse silk
Canny Tom31
Age: 9|  Weight: 10-11| J: David Bass| T: D Frankland| OR:  103| D
11/1
Useful sort when with Gordon Elliott winning over hurdles and fences but despite some recent wind surgery looks far from capable of that level of form these days. Returns to fences after two reasonable hurdles efforts; needs others to fall short.

Forecasts

Keep Moving (11/4), Bestwork (9/2), Jarlath (5/1), Blairs Cove (11/2), Gone Platinum (6/1), Envole Toi (6/1), Canny Tom (11/1)

16:50 Stratford - 30 March 2019 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

KEEP MOVING lost little caste in defeat last time bumping into one who improved considerably on her previous form at Chepstow and a repeat of that run will see him go close here. Jarlath is more miss than hit in the jumping department but could well be better back left-handed (his two best recent runs having come at Warwick). Gone Platinum arrives in good order having not really been given the run of the race last time while Bestwork would only make any appeal if he gained an easy lead which appears to suit his psyche best.
  1. Keep Moving
  2. Gone Platinum
  3. Jarlath
