Tanarpino^p²⁷¹

Age: 9| Weight: 12-0| J: Sean Quinlan| T: J Candlish| OR: 121| D

14/1

Dual winner in 2018/19 who only gave best to a patiently-ridden one late on at Doncaster (3m) on final outing in January. Reappears off same mark, so clams in refitted cheekpieces.

Form: 440432-

Bandsman^p,t²⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 119| D

13/2

Won from 1 lb higher (19f) last spring and went close at Uttoxeter back from a break in July. Held in eight when falling 2 out at Market Rasen latest but this is easier, so must enter calculations.

Form: P52-23F

Tonto's Spirit^p¹⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-11| J: Danny McMenamin⁽³⁾| T: Mrs Dianne Sayer| OR: 118| C

12/1

Front runner who took well to chasing, winning 3 races in the north last season. Out of form this term though, well beaten at Sedgefield 15 days ago, so others preferred despite tumbling mark.

Form: 4F-6865

Ettila De Sivola^p1²³¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: B S Hughes| T: J Ewart| OR: 117

17/2

Improved on third start over fences when landing small-field Newcastle handicap in December. Not disgraced either outing subsequently and still has some scope for better. Cheekpieces on for 1st time.

Form: 2/54133-

Oscar Wilde²³⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: D R Fox| T: J Parkinson & S Smith| OR: 116

10/1

A young chaser on an upward curve last term, opening account in a soundly-run Sedgefield handicap (19.3f) in January. Well below form at Huntingdon final outing but retains potential as a chaser.

Form: 73F215-

King's Wharf²⁰

Age: 11| Weight: 11-8| J: Ryan Mania| T: A M Thomson| OR: 115| D

6/1

Stepped up on recent efforts to end a long losing run in 12-runner handicap at Hexham (20.1f) 20 days ago, kept up to work. Retains handicapping scope but not an obvious type to follow up.

Form: 242-331

Destin D'Ajonc²³⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 115

8/1

Fairly useful hurdler who has the look of a chaser but was well held on his first go at Leicester, then pulled up at Market Rasen last time. Off 7 months.

Form: 0/6364P-

Victory Echo^t⁵⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: Ross Chapman| T: M A Barnes| OR: 114| D

9/2

Heavy-ground maiden hurdle winner last winter. Well held in Market Rasen handicap hurdle on reappearance but got back on track sent chasing when second in handicap at Hexham (20.1f).

Form: 4155-02

Trongate²⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-6| J: Dale Irving⁽³⁾| T: R M Smith| OR: 113| D

7/1

Sixteen runs since last win in 2018, but is now below his last winning mark and fared better when third of 7 in handicap chase at Perth (23.8f) 28 days ago.

Form: 27-2343

Whateva Next¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Jonathon Bewley⁽³⁾| T: G Bewley| OR: 107

14/1

Low-mileage 5-y-o who found only one too good on his second chase start at Cartmel in August, but proved a disappointment when pulled up on Hexham next time, possibly amiss.

Form: 750-42P

Tokaramore^h³⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: C O'Farrell| T: I Jardine| OR: 107| D

11/1

Winning hurdler/chaser who turned in a lacklustre display after 10 months off when fourth of 8 in handicap chase at Kelso 36 days ago. Should strip fitter for that outing, though.

Form: 85133-4

Charlie Snow Angel^t²³¹

Age: 11| Weight: 10-10| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: Miss S E Forster| OR: 103| D

40/1

Won a pair of weak handicaps at Newcastle last season and bounced back to form when third here (15.9f) final outing. Steps back up in trip on return but this is harder.

Form: 231143-

Forecasts

Victory Echo (9/2), King's Wharf (6/1), Bandsman (13/2), Trongate (7/1), Destin D'Ajonc (8/1), Ettila De Sivola (17/2), Oscar Wilde (10/1), Tokaramore (11/1), Tonto's Spirit (12/1), Tanarpino (14/1), Whateva Next (14/1), Charlie Snow Angel (40/1)

ETTILA DE SIVOLA is a good looker who still has some scope for better as a chaser, so he's given the tentative vote to make a winning reappearance. Oscar Wilde is another young chaser to remain positive about, while Bandsman should find this easier than his latest assignment and also needs considering.
