Ice Cool Champs^p1,t⁷⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 12-5| J: Katie O'Farrell| T: Kerry Lee| OR: 122| C

10/3

Wide-margin winner at Wetherby on return/debut for Kerry Lee last season. No impact in 4 subsequent starts, though, so arrives with enough to prove in first-time cheekpieces.

Form: 6/18P-PP

Young Turk^p,t¹⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr Nathan Brennan⁽⁵⁾| T: A Sadik| OR: 112

17/2

Ran comfortably his best race for this yard when third at Plumpton (3m1f) in January. Exhausted when pulled up at Fontwell 10 days ago, so this quick turnaround has to be a concern.

Form: PPP23P

Tinkers Hill Tommy^t²³

Age: 10| Weight: 11-7| J: R Patrick| T: Miss R Curtis| OR: 110

13/8

Winning hunter chaser who posted respectable second on first outing for this yard after 11 months at Chepstow 23 days ago. Can build on that, so leading claims.

Form: 2231/U-2

Still Believing^p⁷⁸

Age: 13| Weight: 11-0| J: Isabel Williams⁽³⁾| T: Evan Williams| OR: 103| CD

9/1

Ended long losing run over C&D in October, but added to her patchy record when pulled up back here last time.

Form: 34PP1P

First Figaro^p1⁴¹⁷

Age: 11| Weight: 11-0| J: Rex Dingle| T: Miss V Williams| OR: 103| C

5/2

None too consistent chaser, though has won fresh in the past and slipped to a good mark. Wears first-time cheekpieces.

Forecasts

Tinkers Hill Tommy (13/8), First Figaro (5/2), Ice Cool Champs (10/3), Overawed (4/1), Young Turk (17/2), Still Believing (9/1)

TINKERS HILL TOMMY made a satisfactory start for his new yard after 11 months off when second at Chepstow 23 days ago and, although the form probably isn't worth a great deal, he can be expected to build on that. First Figaro has slipped to a good mark and won fresh before, so he's second choice.
