Charlie Magri⁹³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: T J O'Brien| T: C L Tizzard

66/1

Midnight Legend gelding. Dam, lightly raced in bumpers/over hurdles, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser (stayed 2½m) Psychomodo. Disappointing start in a course bumper in December.

Form: 0

Chetomian²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: P Gundry

200/1

Last of 4 finishers sole completed start in points and didn't show much on Rules debut 3 weeks ago.

Form: UFP/4P-8

Confirmation Bias^p1²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: H Cobden| T: P F Nicholls| OR: 117| CD

7/4

Bumper winner at his venue in 2019. Bit disappointing over hurdles to this point, dropping away tamely in a Newbury handicap over 20.5f 3 weeks ago. This is easier and headgear on back in trip.

Form: 2-42020

Famoso^t²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Lorcan Williams⁽³⁾| T: P F Nicholls

18/1

Boasts a smart pedigree but well held in bumpers 7 weeks apart and no better on hurdles debut recently fitted with a tongue tie, pulling hard. Back in distance.

Form: 480

Gold Link¹²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: J B Foley⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss E C LavelleWS

11/4

Showed plenty of ability when runner-up in a brace of French bumpers in 2019. Failed to finish off race both starts in the autumn but a wind operation since may help in that regard.

Form: 22-38

Kalyptra^h²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: T Scudamore| T: Nick Mitchell

5/1

£42,000 Fair Mix gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including fairly useful hurdler/chaser What's Occurring. Runner-up sole start in Irish points and offered plenty to work on when fourth at Taunton.

Form: 24

Kost A Coat¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Joshua Moore| T: G & J Moore

12/1

Fair form shown in two bumpers and he shaped well before understandably looking in need of the run on recent hurdles debut following 2 years off. Should last longer this time.

Form: 38/5

Three Socks Morgan^t1

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Harry Kimber⁽⁷⁾| T: C L Tizzard

50/1

Fourth foal, half-brother to a point winner, dam lightly raced in bumpers/over hurdles, sister to bumper winner Mr Hooper.

Hope You Do¹⁰⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: R Johnson| T: P Hobbs & J White| BF

4/1

From winning NH family and made perfect start in French bumper 6 months ago. Evens but disappointed on hurdling bow for new connections when fifth of 9 in 2m juvenile at Warwick. Worth another chance.

Form: 15

The Tithe^t1³⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: Stan Sheppard| T: K Woollacott

250/1

Jet Away mare. Dam point winner. Pulled up on last month's debut.

Form: P

Forecasts

Confirmation Bias (7/4), Gold Link (11/4), Hope You Do (4/1), Kalyptra (5/1), Kost A Coat (12/1), Famoso (18/1), Three Socks Morgan (50/1), Charlie Magri (66/1), Chetomian (200/1), The Tithe (250/1)

An unconvincing bunch on the whole, with HOPE YOU DO afforded another chance. A bumper winner in France, he flopped when a strong favourite at Warwick in December but he has to be better than that. Confirmation Bias has been disappointing over hurdles but this is an easier assignment in first-time headgear, with Kost A Coat another to note.
