Rakhine State³¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: Kielan Woods| T: D J Jeffreys| OR: 121| C

18/1

Won a seller here (for Gordon Elliott) last July, although that was over half a mile shorter, and stamina for this not proven. Not raced since last September either, and may well need the run after an absence (as was the case last year).

Form: 41/512F-

Voodoo Doll¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: Isabel Williams⁽⁵⁾| T: Evan Williams| OR: 119

13/2

Four wins from 27 starts, all over shorter but probably just about stays this far. Looked in need of the run when fading out of things late at Southwell last month and should strip fitter. Goes on most ground, and not discounted.

Form: 53551-4

Glanvilles Guest²⁹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: Kieran Burke| OR: 117| D

18/1

Will stay every yard of this and more, and won't want this to turn into a speed test. Finished last year off weakly but had already put two wins on the board, including on reappearance after an absence, so she has a fair bit going for her here.

Searching^p¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: Danny McMenamin⁽³⁾| T: G Harris| OR: 117| D

12/1

Below par on the Flat at Chepstow last time but had previously ground out a game victory at Market Rasen. Stays this far, ground fine and if bouncing back from that moderate effort last time, will have a chance late on.

Form: 1165P-1

Tel'art^p¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: N de Boinville| T: B Pauling| OR: 114| BF

3/1

Has, like a few from the yard, refound his form this season with a ready win at Southwell and then another good effort in defeat on latest start. Nudged up the weights again and slightly up in trip, but in such good heart he has to be considered.

Form: 3P20-12

Demon D'Aunou²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: R P McLernon| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 111| BF

5/2

Well backed to score over fences at Southwell on Tuesday night but was an early casualty (not at fault for the unseat). Previous easy win at Cartmel shows he comes here on top of his game, and could easily take advantage of this lower hurdles mark.

Form: 457-91U

Grageelagh Girl¹⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 11-0| J: P J Brennan| T: F O'Brien| OR: 110| C

11/4

Couple of years since she won one, but on the plus side that did come here, and her latest effort at Market Rasen when second over 23f shows she's in form. Might find one or two tough to crack, but she should run her race.

Form: 24033-2

Forecasts

Demon D'Aunou (5/2), Grageelagh Girl (11/4), Tel'art (3/1), Voodoo Doll (13/2), Searching (12/1), Rakhine State (18/1), Glanvilles Guest (18/1)

TEL'ART can get back on the win trail. Ben Pauling had a pretty rotten time of it last year but that all looks behind him, and Tel'Art still looks like he's got more races in him after his Southwell win. With a soft lead looking likely here, he can make all. Demon D'Aunou will be an obvious danger if he runs after his Tuesday night unseat, and Glanvilles Guest stays every yard of this trip and can take a medal of some colour home.
