Selected odds by:

Elmono²⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 12-0| J: Blair Campbell⁽³⁾| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 122

7/1

Fairly useful chaser who returned at the top of his game when second over C&D last month. Definite claims if able to back that up.

Form: 44/FP8-2

Henrietta Bell¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: G Sheehan| T: H Whittington| OR: 120

4/1

Fairly useful 23f winner over hurdles and matched that form at the second attempt over fences when third in a handicap at Uttoxeter 15 days ago. May do better still back up in trip.

Form: 7573-63

Cairnshill¹²

Age: 9| Weight: 11-3| J: Alison Clarke⁽⁷⁾| T: Kenny Johnson| OR: 111| CD

7/1

Dual winner of handicap hurdles last spring, including at this track, and was far from disgraced at Perth on reappearance. Every bit as good over fences, so he's a player from this sort of mark.

Form: 3U35F-5

Shanroe Street¹⁷⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 10-12| J: D R Fox| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 106

12/1

Without a win since early 2018 and, while he returned to form when second at Musselburgh in February, there's a chance he'll need this first run since.

Form: U65/7U2-

Still Believing³⁵

Age: 12| Weight: 10-12| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams| OR: 106| D

18/1

Fair winning chaser who was an encouraging third at Uttoxeter on reappearance before an underwhelming effort at Southwell. Could bounce back following more of a break.

Form: 922P-34

Dee Star¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 10-6| J: Henry Brooke| T: G Hanmer| OR: 100| C

10/3

Lightly raced as a chaser and returned from 5 months off with an excellent second over C&D 16 days ago, rallying having conceded first run. Should be thereabouts again.

Form: 1/314P-2

Trumps Benefit^t¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-3| J: James Bowen| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 97

5/2

Winning pointer who opened chasing account fitted at Worcester in September. Good placed efforts the last twice, so expected to be on the premises once more.

Form: 212-723

Non-Runners

Captain Mowbray²⁸

Weight: 10-12| Age: 9

T: R Menzies J: Nathan Moscrop

Forecasts

Trumps Benefit (5/2), Dee Star (10/3), Henrietta Bell (4/1), Elmono (7/1), Cairnshill (7/1), Captain Mowbray (8/1), Shanroe Street (12/1), Still Believing (18/1)

CAPTAIN MOWBRAY is well treated on old form and shaped as if retaining all of his ability when third in a handicap over C&D last month, so he gets the nod ahead of Trumps Benefit and Dee Star, who both arrive at the top of their game.
