Valadom^p,t⁴⁰

Age: 11| Weight: 11-12| J: Billy Garritty| T: R Hobson| OR: 124| D

11/4

First win in over 3 years when making all in similar event over 25f at Catterick in January and good second at Musselburgh following month. Shaped as though needing run at Strasbourg on reappearance.

Form: 45412-5

King's Wharf²²

Age: 11| Weight: 11-3| J: Thomas Willmott| T: A M Thomson| OR: 115| D

3/1

Stepped up on previous efforts this season to end a long losing run in 12-runner handicap at Hexham (20.1f) and good second at Carlisle 3 weeks ago. Should go well again.

Form: 42-3312

Charmix^p¹³

Age: 10| Weight: 11-0| J: P W Wadge⁽¹⁰⁾| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 112

8/1

On a long losing run and has failed to complete both starts this season. Headgear back on but others preferred.

Form: 3345-FP

Doktor Glaz^v⁹⁵⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 10-12| J: Lorcan Murtagh| T: R Dobbin| OR: 110| D

11/2

Better than ever when winning his last 2 starts at Doncaster and Carlisle in 2018. Big absence to overcome but returns with yard going well.

Form: 423511/

Crocodile Dundee²⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 10-11| J: Lorcan Williams| T: T H Weston| OR: 109

11/4

Very low-key start for this yard last season but back to form to win both starts this term (over hurdles). 10 lb higher now back over fences but must be considered in current mood.

Form: 6/PP6-11

Charlie Snow Angel^t²²

Age: 11| Weight: 10-4| J: S Mulqueen| T: Miss S E Forster| OR: 102| CD

12/1

Won a pair of C&D handicaps around this time last season, including this race. Well held at Carlisle on return but no surprise if he bounced back.

Form: 31143-P

Forecasts

Valadom (11/4), Crocodile Dundee (11/4), King's Wharf (3/1), Ascot De Bruyere (9/2), Federici (5/1), Doktor Glaz (11/2), Charmix (8/1), Charlie Snow Angel (12/1)

CROCODILE DUNDEE has won both his starts over hurdles this season and may still have more to offer for this yard back over fences now. King's Wharf also arrives in form and can give another good account, while Valadom should strip fitter for his return.
