Selected odds by:

Percy Street^b,h,t¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: T Scudamore| T: D Pipe| OR: 110

15/2

Dual hurdles winner but not in the same form since his last win in May and has struggled to make an impression in two starts over fences so far (including last month). Others preferred.

Form: 44-1445

Between The Waters^p,t²⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Page Fuller⁽³⁾| T: Jamie Snowden| OR: 110

11/2

Returned from a 166-days absence in fine form with two wins and a third in between. 5lb higher but he was idling last time and could be up to defying this mark. Racing consistently and likely to go well.

Form: 224-131

Robin Des People^p⁵⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 11-11| J: C Brace⁽⁵⁾| T: F O'Brien| OR: 109| BF| C

5/2

Eight time point winner, the latest in April and returned with a solid effort at Bangor in May. Won a Hunter Chase here last year and is a consistent performer. No reason he shouldn't go well again following a wind operation.

Form: 11312-6

Shimla Dawn²¹

Age: 11| Weight: 11-10| J: Miss E Todd⁽⁵⁾| T: M Walford| OR: 108

7/1

Followed a spell in reasonably competitive Hunter Chases with a poor effort on stable debut back in a handicap last month. On a fair mark off his best form but others look stronger candidates.

Form: P1P-446

Take Em Out^t⁵⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: Alan Johns| T: Tim Vaughan| OR: 106

9/1

Won a Towcester maiden hurdle in May last year and not disgraced albeit in a modest contest in May's chase debut. Open to improvement but much more required off current mark.

Form: P/1262-5

Arthur's Sixpence^p1⁴⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: David Bass| T: K Bailey & M Nicholls| OR: 105| BF

4/1

Only had the four starts over hurdles and left that form behind with an improved effort on chasing debut. Rallied well following a mistake at the last and likely to improve in first time cheekpieces. Nice imposing sort physically and a likely type.

Form: 2/4P2P-2

Cornish Warrior^v1⁴⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 102| C

7/1

Course winner over hurdles and twice a winner over fences last year. 3lb lower than last win but form in three starts this year appears to be going backwards. Much more needed in first time visor.

Form: 3103-57

Johnny Og⁹¹

Age: 10| Weight: 10-11| J: L Treadwell| T: Miss C Dyson| OR: 95| C

20/1

Three time course winner over shorter but that last coming in October 2016. Well beaten on reappearance and looks one to oppose once again.

Forecasts

Robin Des People (5/2), Arthur's Sixpence (4/1), Between The Waters (11/2), What A Laugh (7/1), Cornish Warrior (7/1), Shimla Dawn (7/1), Percy Street (15/2), Take Em Out (9/1), Johnny Og (20/1)

The former point-to-point winner ARTHUR'S SIXPENCE showed why his stable wasted little time moving him over fences when showing a game attitude in defeat. Between The Waters is a clear danger in the form he's returned in and is proving a very reliable performer. Robin Des People is likewise consistent and following a wind operation has to be considered.
