Age: 10| Weight: 11-7| J: Alex Edwards⁽³⁾| T: A Ralph| OR: 100| BF| CD

7/2

Back on last winning mark, and has a C&D chase win to his name, so there are positives. Backed into favouritism on reappearance here earlier in month but weakened out of it late. May be fitter for that and has plenty going for him here.

Form: 314U5-4

For Jim^p²⁵²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: Sean Quinlan| T: J Candlish| OR: 100

12/1

Winner of two of his six chase starts, and these conditions probably ideal for him. Almost won a handicap hurdle off this mark last October so fairly handicapped, and yard are having the odd winner. Not discounted.

Trumps Benefit^t²²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: James Bowen| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 96| D

11/1

Progressive over fences last year and looks sure to win more this term, but well held on reappearance and yard still to have a winner since racing resumed. Others make more appeal today.

Form: 3P212-7

Cillian's Well^b,t²¹

Age: 10| Weight: 11-3| J: D A Jacob| T: J L Flint| OR: 96| D

18/1

Lurking on a very dangerous mark (8lb lower than last win) and shaped better than finishing position suggested at Stratford on reappearance. Daryl Jacob an interesting booking (was on for last win) and he could be tuned up for today.

Form: UP866-6

Gotaway¹⁵¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: C J Todd⁽⁵⁾| T: S Allwood| OR: 93

7/1

One win in 12 starts, that coming in Ireland, but pulled up in two point-to-point starts here this winter and now joins new yard. Can only be watched today.

Form: 1P/00PP-

Armattiekan^p¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: B S Hughes| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 91

4/1

Fallen a long way in the handicap after a series of moderate efforts and he was struggling from a long way out on his reappearance here just over two weeks ago. Plenty to prove now, not least suitability of this trip.

Form: 8P836-6

Wisecracker^t²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: Bryony Frost| T: B I Case| OR: 91

9/4

Continued in good form with a second at Market Rasen, first two nicely clear of the rest. This is more competitive, and this step up in trip not necessarily a positive either but he's in good heart.

Form: 6221-22

Fact Flow¹⁸⁶

Age: 11| Weight: 10-9| J: R T Dunne| T: D Burchell| OR: 88| D

12/1

On the downgrade at the age of 11 and hasn't won a race since November 2018. Trip and likely ground fine but will surely need this after an absence, and easily opposable.

Forecasts

Wisecracker (9/4), Damut I'm Out (7/2), Armattiekan (4/1), Gotaway (7/1), Between The Waters (10/1), Trumps Benefit (11/1), Fact Flow (12/1), For Jim (12/1), Cillian's Well (18/1)

CILLIAN'S WELL won second time up with Daryl Jacob on board last year and history might be about to repeat itself, with the horse looking very well treated on an 8lb lower mark than that win, and he shaped nicely until getting tired late at Stratford on reappearance. He can score at the expense of Damut I'm Out, who has conditions in his favour and clearly better was expected on his reapperance as he was backed into favourite. For Jim and Between The Waters can fight it out for third. Wisecracker comes here in good form, but this trip is a big concern.
