9/2

Enhanced excellent record at Wincanton when winning there (2½m) in January. Excuses and probably worth forgiving both subsequent runs. Career best needed but not ruled out under top weight.

Form: F361P8

El Presente¹³⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: David Bass| T: K Bailey & M Nicholls| OR: 148| D

5/2

Winner of 4 of his 5 starts since wind surgery, producing a career-best when landing 13-runner handicap chase at Wincanton (25.1f, good) back in November. Up a further 6 lb and rates a major player.

Form: P-13111

King Of Realms^v⁴⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 10-10| J: R T Dunne| T: Ian Williams| OR: 132| D

7/2

Useful chaser who was not at his best in a handful of appearances last season and turned in a couple of dismal showings this term before winning a jumpers bumper last month. Hard to weigh up.

Form: 43F-7P1

Checkitout³¹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-7| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 129| D

6/4

Expensive to follow but bounced back from a limp effort to open his account in handicap chase at Southwell (24.3f, heavy) last month, making all and in command between last 2. Interesting player.

Form: 7-5F261

Forecasts

Checkitout (6/4), El Presente (5/2), King Of Realms (7/2), Capeland (9/2)

A small but select field for this feature contest with EL PRESENTE fancied to continue his winning sequence and take his record to 5-6 since undergoing wind surgery. He's had a decent break since landing his biggest prize yet and can defy a further rise in the weights. Checkitout and Capeland will provide some stern opposition however, and can chase Kim Bailey's charge home in that order.
