Age: 11| Weight: 12-6| J: H Cobden| T: P F Nicholls| OR: 137| D

30/100

Smart chaser when at his peak and showed he retains plenty of ability this term, easily landing a similar event at Musselburgh recently. Should be able to follow up.

Magna Sam⁶⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 12-2| J: Ben Jones⁽³⁾| T: G Slade-Jones| OR: 110| D

14/1

Winning pointer who showed his first meaningful form under Rules when scoring at Ludlow in January last year. Tame return in that corresponding race last time, however.

Form:

Straidnahanna^t²⁶

Age: 12| Weight: 11-12| J: Tom Cannon| T: A Ward-Thomas| OR: 114| D

40/1

Fairly useful chaser at best but most uninspiring return to Rules when pulled up in hunter at Leicester 26 days ago. Makes no appeal.

Form:

Tanit River^t²⁸

Age: 11| Weight: 11-12| J: Alan Johns| T: R L Llewellyn| OR: 122| D

9/2

Useful at best for Tim Vaughan and showed some ability remains prior to unseating in hunter at Fontwell last month. Could capitalise is Alcala underperforms.

Form:

Teeton Surprise^p1³³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Alexander Thorne⁽⁵⁾| T: J Mason| D

12/1

Dual winning pointer who has shown modest form in a couple of hunters this season but has plenty to find with Alcala. Cheekpieces applied.

Forecasts

Alcala (30/100), Tanit River (9/2), Teeton Surprise (12/1), Magna Sam (14/1), Straidnahanna (40/1)

ALCALA is a cut above his opposition and wouldn't need to improve on his recent Musselburgh success to go in again here. Tanit River is the likeliest to capitalise if the selection fluffs his lines but couldn't be backed with any confidence.
