Selected odds by:

Cut The Mustard¹⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 11-6| J: H Cobden| T: P F Nicholls| OR: 140| D

5/2

Useful ex-Irish winning chaser who made pleasing start for new yard after wind op/9 months off when second to Annie Mc in listed chase at Doncaster (20.5f) 15 days ago. Can build on that so claims.

Form: 1212F-2

Zambella³⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: D A Jacob| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 142

8/13

Useful hurdler who has made perfect start over fences this term with taking successes in listed chases at Bangor and Warwick. Bold jumper who has more to offer so she looks the one to beat.

Form: U44-711

Northern Beau^b,t²⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-2| J: R P McLernon| T: M Scudamore| OR: 123| C| D

16/1

Fairly useful chaser and course winner too but she arrives in just fair form, back hurdling when only fourth of 5 to Nada To Prada in listed event at Haydock (18.9f) 25 days ago. Has work to do here.

Form: 47-5284

Sacre Coeur^h1²⁰⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Harry Bannister| T: C J Mann| OR: 140

15/2

Fairly useful ex-French Flat/chaser who arrives on a hat-trick after 17f wins in minor chases at Dieppe and Compiegne. This is no easy start though after 6 months off for new yard but still respected.

Form: 315-411

Forecasts

Zambella (8/13), Cut The Mustard (5/2), Sacre Coeur (15/2), Northern Beau (16/1)

ZAMBELLA has made a fine start to life over fences so Nigel Twiston-Davies' bold-jumping mare is confidently expected to make it 3-3 since sent chasing. Cut The Mustard shaped encouragingly on her debut for Paul Nicholls when runner-up at Doncaster so should ensure she doesn't have things all her own way. Sacre Coeur brings fairly useful chasing form from France to the table so is no forlorn hope.
