Day Of Roses^p1²²

Age: 11| Weight: 11-12| J: Henry Brooke| T: Miss J E Foster| OR: 99| CD

18/1

C&D winner who wasn't disgraced when sixth of 8 in handicap chase at Cartmel (25.5f, good) 22 days ago, yet to be asked for his effort when making bad error 3 out. Cheekpieces on and in the mix

Form: 4235-56

Robin Des People^t²⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 11-11| J: C Brace⁽³⁾| T: D Brace| OR: 98

28/1

Only one win from 21 and has run poorly both starts on return since leaving Fergal O'Brien, pulled up here latest one. Very hard to enthuse over.

Form: 2/636-6P

Danseur Du Large^t1¹⁵⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: Nick Scholfield| T: P Gundry| OR: 96| BF

22/1

Off the mark under Rules when narrow winner at Warwick (3m) last April but his jumping has hindered him since. Still quite low mileage but needs to improve his fencing.

Form: 3P9F42-

For Jim^v¹⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-8| J: Sean Quinlan| T: J Candlish| OR: 95| C

2/1

Thrived last summer, winning twice at 3m over fences, but well held after 8 months off when sixth of 8 in handicap at Bangor (20.3f) 19 days ago. Visor back on so no surprise to see him bounce back.

Form: 1923P-6

Uno Mas^p¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Jack Tudor⁽⁵⁾| T: Christian Williams| OR: 92

11/1

Prolific winner over hurdles in 2018/19 but lost his way last season and has shown no signs of a resurgence in two runs over fences on resumption. Easily opposable.

Form: 9757-96

Go As You Please³²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-11| J: R P McLernon| T: P R Webber| OR: 84

5/2

In good form without winning over hurdles in winter and returned with excellent fourth of 10 in 20f handicap on chasing bow here. That form is working out really well so an interesting contender.

Form: 7/722P-4

Hahadi^p³⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 10-7| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: T Symonds| OR: 80| BF

10/3

Remains winless but made a good start for new yard when third of 9 in handicap chase at Southwell (24.3f) 34 days ago. Dropped 2 lb so solid claims.

Form: 28585-3

Kalaskadesemilley^t¹²

Age: 9| Weight: 10-2| J: Alain Cawley| T: J Farrelly| OR: 75

12/1

Twenty three runs since his last win in 2016, and returned with below-form sixth of 11 in handicap chase at Newton Abbot (21f) after 9 months off. Needs lot more here.

Form: 42/3UP-6

Forecasts

For Jim (2/1), Go As You Please (5/2), Go Hard Or Go Home (5/2), Hahadi (10/3), Uno Mas (11/1), Kalaskadesemilley (12/1), Day Of Roses (18/1), Danseur Du Large (22/1), Robin Des People (28/1), Poetic Presence (66/1)

GO AS YOU PLEASE made a very pleasing start to life over fences when fourth here last month and with that race having already thrown up two winners he is taken to go in too off just a 1 lb higher mark. Hahadi also arrives on the back of an excellent run so rates a big threat for his new yard, while C&D winner Day of Roses looks a solid place prospect.
