Selected odds by:

Cesar Du Gouet²⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 12-1| J: Fergus Gregory⁽³⁾| T: L Horsfall| OR: 106| D

7/1

Fair handicap chaser who has posted only one creditable run this campaign and appears to be summed up by his mark.

Form: 55-7526

Lots Of Luck^p²²³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: David Bass| T: K Bailey & M Nicholls| OR: 103| DWS

2/1

Lightly raced chaser who resumed winning ways in a 10-runner handicap at Taunton 7 months ago. Form is backed up by the time and should be ready to go, so he's the one to beat.

Form: 903121-

Another Tuco^p¹⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: Adrian Heskin| T: W Greatrex| OR: 99

12/1

Point winner who was runner-up over hurdles here on final run of last season. Yet to complete in 3 goes at chasing this season, however.

Form: 502-PPF

Ring The Moon¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Conor Ring⁽³⁾| T: Evan Williams| OR: 93

11/1

Runner-up twice in low-level handicaps over hurdles around the turn of the year but made an inauspicious start to chasing career in a course handicap 17 days ago. Others preferred.

Form: 08225-0

Kiera Royale^t¹⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 11-0| J: R Patrick⁽³⁾| T: D A Rees| OR: 91

11/1

Limited and long-standing maiden under Rules who makes no appeal.

Form: 244/P-07

Cropley⁴⁴⁴

Age: 11| Weight: 10-13| J: R T Dunne| T: D Burchell| OR: 90

14/1

Landed a gamble to make a winning chase debut at Worcester in May 2018. Ran respect back from long absence when second at Stratford on latest outing but that was 14 months ago.

Form: 75136/2-

Cobra Commander²²²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-1| J: Benjamin Poste| T: T Symonds| OR: 78

6/1

Managed to finish second in a handicap chase at Ludlow on his penultimate outing last season but has otherwise looked very limited. Tough to make a case for back from 7 months off.

Form: 9/00528-

Captains Run^t¹⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: S Bowen| T: J Farrelly| OR: 74

7/2

First worthwhile form under Rules when second in handicap chase over C&D 17 days ago but not sure to back it up and 3 lb wrong at the weights.

Form: 703P-P2

Leaving Home^p¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: David Noonan| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 74| D

80/1

Bumper winner in 2018 but hasn't shown much otherwise, including over fences.

Form: P0UPF-7

Hume Lough²¹⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 10-0| J: Jamie Bargary| T: S-J Davies| OR: 71

100/1

Poor maiden who struggled badly last season. Hard to fancy back from 7 months off.

Form: 456P5F-

Yourholidayisover^p¹⁰

Age: 13| Weight: 10-0| J: Miss L Brooke⁽⁷⁾| T: Lady S Brooke| OR: 68

33/1

Irresolute performer who hasn't won a race for the best part of 4 years, a trend he is unlikely to buck from a long way out of the weights here.

Form: P/073-53

Non-Runners

Veiled Secret¹

Weight: 11-1| Age: 6

T: T Symonds J: Sam Twiston-Davies

Forecasts

Lots Of Luck (2/1), Captains Run (7/2), Veiled Secret (4/1), Cobra Commander (6/1), Cesar Du Gouet (7/1), Kiera Royale (11/1), Ring The Moon (11/1), Another Tuco (12/1), Cropley (14/1), Yourholidayisover (33/1), Leaving Home (80/1), Hume Lough (100/1)

A weak handicap chase that could go the way of LOTS OF LUCK, who ended last season on the up and should be fit enough to do himself justice on return. Veiled Secret is one of few others to arrive in form, so he's regarded as the chief threat ahead of Cesar du Gouet.
