Selected odds by:

Victory Echo^t¹⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-9| J: Ross Chapman| T: M A Barnes| OR: 119

7/2

Off the mark at third attempt over fences when making all at Newcastle in December. Unable to dominate and didn't travel as well before being brought down 4 out at Ayr last week. Back up in trip.

Form: 5-02P1B

Captain Moirette^p1⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-9| J: Ryan Mania| T: J Parkinson & S Smith| OR: 119

7/1

2m hurdle winner and second over fences at Catterick (19f) last season. Yet to fire this term, though, departing at the eleventh there 9 days ago. Cheekpieces now tried but needs to show more.

Form: 21-459F

Uptown Harry^t1⁹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: Danny McMenamin| T: Mrs J Walton| OR: 115

4/1

Winner of 22f Kelso maiden hurdle last season before signing off with promising second in handicap over C&D on debut over fences. Not at best so far this term, though.

Form: 142-84P

Some Detail^v²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: B S Hughes| T: N J Hawke| OR: 112

10/3

Placed on 4 of his 5 starts over hurdles last term (looking a thorough stayer). However, not scaled same heights over larger obstacles but shaped better than pulled up suggests over timber last time.

Form: 2-0854P

Crypto¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: Miss V Williams| OR: 110| BF

2/1

£200,000 purchase after dotting up in bumper for Micky Hammond in March 2019. Not knocked about when third on chase debut at Chepstow a fortnight ago and there should be more to come.

Form: 1/54-443

Forecasts

Crypto (2/1), Some Detail (10/3), Victory Echo (7/2), Uptown Harry (4/1), Cilaos Glace (5/1), Captain Moirette (7/1)

Impossible to rule out any of these but there should be more to come from CRYPTO, who took to chasing well enough when third at Chepstow a fortnight ago and can gain his first win over obstacles with his mark easing a touch. Victory Echo wasn't out of things when he was brought down at Ayr 10 days ago so he rates as chief threat if none the worse, ahead of Sue Smith's Captain Moirette.
