Monsieur Co^p,t³¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Craig Nichol| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 120| BF

7/1

Starting to look nicely handicapped but that's down to a series of pretty moderate efforts last season, and still some debate as to what best trip might be. On balance, others preferred.

Fortunes Hiding^t¹³⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Thomas Willmott⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 120WS

12/1

Won back-to-back handicaps for Peter Bowen in the spring of 2019, but not so good after that, and form in two point-to-points this spring mixed. Now joined new yard and has had a wind operation, so reasons to think better might be coming.

Acdc^t¹⁷¹

Age: 10| Weight: 11-9| J: Ross Chapman| T: C Grant| OR: 117| D

5/1

Thrown in on the best of his form, but it's been over two years since he's shown any of that and was well held in the spring when last seen. Until showing a bit of his old self, cannot really be entertained.

Form: P/PP655-

Chateau Robin²³⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-9| J: B S Hughes| T: N G Richards| OR: 117| BF| D

11/8

Some big gaps in his CV but is generally consistent and almost won a similar event over C&D last spring. Handicapper has him where he wants him but should run his race and every chance of taking a medal home.

Form: 432/214-

Master Burbidge^p¹⁵⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 11-7| J: Millie Wonnacott⁽⁷⁾| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 115| D

17/2

Three wins in 13 chase starts and on a fair mark at present. Was in good form on the all-weather in the winter when last seen but yard's horses are tending to need a run after a break, and he may be best watched tonight.

Form: 6524/47-

Boy's On Tour²⁸⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: S Mulqueen⁽³⁾| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 115| CD

9/2

Likes it here, three wins and three places from eight starts at the track and looks on a workable mark based on C&D win (in a better race than this) a year ago. Has gone well fresh in the past too, and plenty to like about his chance here.

Form: P21P25-

Beau Et Sublime^p1,t²⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 10-0| J: D R Fox| T: R M Smith| OR: 93| D

14/1

Better known as a hurdler but record over fences isn't bad, only had four starts but won one of them (albeit back in 2016); conditions ideal here and well handicapped, but wasn't in great form when last seen and now tries cheekpieces; risky.

Form: 579F/40-

Forecasts

Chateau Robin (11/8), Boy's On Tour (9/2), Acdc (5/1), Imada (6/1), Monsieur Co (7/1), Master Burbidge (17/2), Fortunes Hiding (12/1), Beau Et Sublime (14/1)

Another race with no guaranteed pacemaker, and some caution is advised. It wouldn't be a surprise if Fortune's Hiding ran better after a wind operation on his first start for Lucinda Russell but she has a better candidate for top honours with BOY'S ON TOUR, who has a good record at the track and, with less question marks against him than a few here, can score again. Chateau Robin is more consistent than a few and can get among the medals.
