7/1
Ran some creditable efforts in defeat last season before falling on his final start. Warmed up for this event with a spin over hurdles at Bangor (not beaten too far). Should be one of the leading contenders if taking a liking to this track.

7/2
Wonhis first two starts of last season at Market Rasen and Ffos Las before finding a couple too good on two runs over this course and distance. Goes well fresh and is expected to go close.

28/1
Reasonably consistent chaser who won a hunter's chase at Ludlow three starts ago. Needs to step up on fair effort last time out at Fontwell to get competitive. Might not want any forecast rain to be at his best. First-time cheekpieces.

Age: 7|  Weight: 11-9| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: S Thomas| OR:  112| D
7/2
Put in a useful performance last time out winning by 16 lengths at Southwell. A repeat of that effort would see him being in the shake up. On the downside, he is not the most consistent gelding and plenty up in the weights.

Age: 9|  Weight: 11-7| J: L P Aspell| T: M Keighley| OR:  110
14/1
Put in one of his best chase performance over this course and distance two years ago but has had a lot of time off since. Recent effort here last month was reasonable but more needed to land a blow.
7
Horse silk
Ballyknock Cloudp,t29
Age: 8|  Weight: 11-2| J: Nick Scholfield| T: Jack Barber| OR:  105
5/1
Only moderate racecourse form last season, falling on his final start at Wincanton. Has been enjoying and winning some point-to-point races of late so not out of it completely if racing with enthusiasm.

Horse silk
Battle Of Ideasp1,t31
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-2| J: H Cobden| T: C L Tizzard| OR:  105| D
10/1
Has not really taken to fences yet having been a reasonably consistent hurdler. Reappearance run at Ffos Las was not too bad and if he can build on that then he has an outsiders chance.

Horse silk
Old Harry Rocksp7
Age: 7|  Weight: 11-1| J: C Gethings| T: Mrs S Leech| OR:  104| BF
16/1
Excellent effort over course and distance on his chase debut in April only going down narrowly in a bobbing finish (holds Iniesta on today's weights). Excuses last time out and very much one to consider.
10
Horse silk
Fenlons Court21
Age: 7|  Weight: 11-1| J: J McGrath| T: J W Mullins| OR:  104
6/1
Made a satisfactory start to his chasing career at Bangor three weeks ago when third, not beaten far over 2m4f on good ground. A reproduction of that form and a little improvement should see him go well.

Horse silk
Legend Of Zorrot157
Age: 6|  Weight: 10-13| J: Bryony Frost| T: J D Frost| OR:  102
20/1
Lightly-raced ex-point-to-pointer. Has shown little on his racecourse appearance under rules and unless there is a dramatic move for him in the market then best watched.
12
Horse silk
Iniesta41
Age: 8|  Weight: 10-12| J: David Bass| T: M Blake| OR:  101| CD
10/1
Excellent effort to get the better of today's rival Old Harry Rocks over this course and distance on his chase debut in April. Below par over slightly longer trip next time out. Improvement expected and should run well.

The Majort27
Age: 6|  Weight: 10-1| J: Brendan Powell| T: K Woollacott| OR:  90

Nothing to suggest he is a likely winner based on his two chase efforts to date (both over course and distance).

Need to go back a long way to find any reasonable form for this mare. Certainly no recent form to suggest she is likely to trouble any of these rivals, let alone win.

OLD HARRY ROCKS showed his liking for this course and distance when narrowly beaten two starts ago. Excuses last time (bumped at start) so if bouncing back he holds every chance. Recent easy winner Royal Magic will be popular with punters and there is no reason why he can't build on that success if taking to this track. Robin Des People ran well on his reappearance and should give a good account of himself while As You Like runs well fresh and can do so again here.
