Horse silk
Shady Glenb,t32
Age: 10|  Weight: 12-0| J: Kielan Woods| T: D Killahena & G McPherson| OR:  102| D
9/1
Won three times in 2017/18, but below form on the whole last season. Some late promise on return but maybe needs a stiffer test nowadays. Down in grade but more needed.
2
Horse silk
Baron Du Plessis149
Age: 8|  Weight: 11-13| J: C J Todd(7)| T: Ian Williams| OR:  101
11/1
Remains a maiden following 21 starts and has proven better at a touch shorter than this trip. Should at least be suited by drop in grade following a disappointing effort when last seen in January.
3
Horse silk
Lucky Jimp,t25
Age: 8|  Weight: 11-12| J: Aidan Coleman| T: David Dennis| OR:  100
12/1
Just twice a winner under both codes from 32 seconds and despite finishing second on five occasions, is yet to open his account in 14 starts over fences. Well held on reappearance but place possibilities if building on that.
4
Horse silk
Love The Leaderp32
Age: 11|  Weight: 11-11| J: Tom Cannon| T: J Farrelly| OR:  99| D
20/1
A victim of the handicapper's wrath after he scored a quick-fire hat-trick last November displaying his versatility over hurdles and fences. Stable in form but he's been well beaten in three starts this year.
5
Horse silk
Bletchley Castlet23
Age: 10|  Weight: 11-11| J: Bryan Carver(7)| T: D Loughnane| OR:  99| BF| D
15/2
Often blazes off in front and in good form this year over this trip in point-to-points before two runs in hunter chases. First try at this far under Rules which could suit on stable debut. Should make a bold bid.
6
Horse silk
Riddlestownb11
Age: 12|  Weight: 11-11| J: Mr Jack Andrews(7)| T: C Fryer| OR:  99| CD
22/1
Front runner boasts nine wins from 58 starts over fences but remains an inconsistent type. Very disappointing the last twice since Plumpton win and a bit to prove now.
7
Horse silk
Isle Road39
Age: 10|  Weight: 11-3| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: D J Jeffreys| OR:  91| D
11/1
Found a new lease of life after a break when winning over hurdles and fences (showing improved form) this time last year. Pulled up on final start last year and tailed off on stable and season debut over hurdles. Hard to recommend.
8
Horse silk
Hardtorockp11
Age: 10|  Weight: 10-8| J: Page Fuller(3)| T: J W Mullins| OR:  82| D
11/1
Both career wins have been over 2m5.5f at Fontwell but does stay this far as shown by Plumpton third on reappearance. Disappointed next time back at Fontwell but doesn't like softer ground and could bounce back providing there's no rain.
9
Horse silk
Phoenix Rock25
Age: 7|  Weight: 10-4| J: C Brace(5)| T: J & A O'Neill| OR:  78
11/2
13-race maiden but ran his best effort so far in four starts over fences when third at Warwick last month. May have more to offer now but she does need to brush up her jumping.
10
Horse silk
Eaton Millerp27
Age: 7|  Weight: 10-2| J: Benjamin Poste| T: T Symonds| OR:  76| BF| D
8/1
Brought down final circuit when in touch two starts back but had made several mistakes and jumping again let him down when unseating last start. Back on winning mark from April but jumping remains a concern.
11
Horse silk
Ballina Ladyh,t5
Age: 8|  Weight: 10-0| J: Lily Pinchin(7)| T: D Killahena & G McPherson| OR:  71| D
25/1
Yet to place in four starts over fences and disappointed on recent stable debut following some decent form in point-to-points. Step up in trip could help but a bit to prove now.
12
Horse silk
Canyouhearmenowp,t42
Age: 8|  Weight: 10-0| J: J E Moore| T: B Pauling| OR:  64
4/1
Fontwell winner in the mud in March last year but hasn't been able to build on that and has really struggled in four starts this year. Joins a very good stable so market support would be interesting.

Forecasts

Canyouhearmenow (4/1), Phoenix Rock (11/2), Bletchley Castle (15/2), Eaton Miller (8/1), Shady Glen (9/1), Isle Road (11/1), Hardtorock (11/1), Baron Du Plessis (11/1), Lucky Jim (12/1), Love The Leader (20/1), Riddlestown (22/1), Ballina Lady (25/1)

Lucky Jim may have needed his first run back and is always one who can pop up for a place. Bletchley Castle will ensure it's a strong pace and he's worth step up in distance. HARDTOROCK ran really well on his first run back and the ground was a valid excuse last time. Providing the rain stays away he can return to form.
