Stay Out Of Court^p¹⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 11-12| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: A Wintle| OR: 100| D

15/2

Dual point winner who raised his game when opening Rules account at the eleventh attempt in 24.2f Exeter handicap chase recently. 3 lb rise fair and another bold show anticipated.

Form: 6/55541-

Tudors Treasure⁵³

Age: 10| Weight: 11-12| J: T J O'Brien| T: R Stephens| OR: 100| BF

20/1

Signed off 2019/20 campaign on a winning note at Exeter (all 3 chase wins have been gained there). Rare poor effort back from a break in March and easy to envisage him bouncing back.

Form: 241/P37-

West To Crossgales¹⁸¹

Age: 10| Weight: 11-12| J: C J Todd⁽³⁾| T: C & A Pogson| OR: 100| D

33/1

Just 1-18 over hurdles and yet to strike over fences, but has finished second on 2 of his 4 starts in this sphere, including over C&D in August. Place possibilities if tuned-up following a break.

Form: 2P/4226-

Montanna⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: S Bowen| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 99

9/2

Dual hurdles winner who posted respectable efforts in that sphere at Ffos Las and Worcester back from a break last month. However, he was well beaten on sole start over fences in October.

Form: P/06043-

Leith Hill Lad^p,t²³

Age: 11| Weight: 11-11| J: Brendan Powell| T: R Bandey| OR: 99| D

25/1

Hit the target twice in April 2018, but majority of his subsequent efforts have been poor and while his latest effort at Taunton was fair, others make more appeal on this occasion.

Form: P/60783-

Miami Present^p¹⁵⁴

Age: 11| Weight: 11-7| J: Harry Bannister| T: W Bethell| OR: 95| D

50/1

Three-time handicap chase winner at up to 3m in 2017, but he hasn't looked the same horse since returning from a lengthy absence last summer. Cheekpieces refitted.

Form: PP2P4P-

Daranova¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: Jordan Nailor⁽³⁾| T: D Loughnane| OR: 95

20/1

Maiden between the flags and under Rules, and his jumping was haphazard on chase debut at Ludlow in December.

Form: P90805-

Troed Y Parc²³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Bryan Carver⁽³⁾| T: C Honour| OR: 93

20/1

Has only hinted at ability in bumpers/over hurdles to this point, and sizeable step forward needed now upped in trip for this chase debut.

Form: 08/7759-

Evenstevens^p¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: J J Burke| T: A Ralph| OR: 92

9/1

Ten-race maiden over hurdles and there were very few positives to glean from his chase debut at Bangor a fortnight ago.

Form: 093P39-

Llancillo Lord^h,t²¹

Age: 11| Weight: 11-4| J: Benjamin Poste| T: R Potter| OR: 92| D

18/1

Form: 235543-

Man Of The North¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 10-13| J: Lee Edwards| T: A W Carroll| OR: 87| C

10/1

Hurdles winner here in December 2019 and struck at second time of asking over fences at Bangor in January. Creditable third upped to 3m there last time, but didn't fully convince stamina-wise.

Form: 61P773-

Fact Flow^p²⁶

Age: 12| Weight: 10-13| J: R T Dunne| T: D Burchell| OR: 87| C

12/1

In good form since equipped with cheekpieces, deservedly getting his head back in front at Chepstow (19.4f) last time. 5 lb rise tolerable and step back up in trip no issue with conditions to suit.

Form: P23331-

Write It Down^p,t³⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 10-8| J: William Marshall⁽⁷⁾| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 82

10/3

Out of sorts in recent months, but the handicapper has shown mercy. Indeed, he's now 17 lb lower compared to when finishing second at Taunton (21.7f) in November, so there's cause for optimism.

Form: 2P5567-

Chief Sittingbull⁸⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 10-6| J: Miss S L Bowen⁽⁷⁾| T: Sarah Bowen| OR: 80

66/1

Has looked limited in a variety of events for different trainers, and hard to warm to ahead of this chase debut.

Form: 12P/888-

Enforcement^p⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-1| J: James Best| T: M Keighley| OR: 75

22/1

Patchy form since sole career success in a Plumpton handicap hurdle in March 2019, but each-way chance judged judged on peak efforts in this sphere.

Form: 550496-

Kalaskadesemilley^p,t¹³⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 10-0| J: Mitchell Bastyan⁽³⁾| T: J Farrelly| OR: 74

20/1

Just the one win to his name from 37 starts, which was in a Stratford maiden hurdle back in 2016. Went close in a Fontwell handicap chase in September, but well below that in 2 subsequent outings.

Form: 6P525P-

Maxi Jazz^b1,t1³⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: C E Longsdon| OR: 72

14/1

Fairly encouraging start over fences when third at Ludlow in November, but it'd be something of an understatement to say that he's failed to build on that since. Debut for new yard.

Form: P37PPP-

Forecasts

Write It Down (10/3), Montanna (9/2), Stay Out Of Court (15/2), Evenstevens (9/1), Man Of The North (10/1), Fact Flow (12/1), Maxi Jazz (14/1), Hepburn (14/1), Llancillo Lord (18/1), Daranova (20/1), Tudors Treasure (20/1), Kalaskadesemilley (20/1), Troed Y Parc (20/1), Enforcement (22/1), Leith Hill Lad (25/1), West To Crossgales (33/1), Miami Present (50/1), Chief Sittingbull (66/1)

Last-time-out winners STAY OUT OF COURT and Fact Flow are the obvious starting points. The latter has done well since fitted with cheekpieces and there's every reason to expect that he'll again be in the mix. However, marginal preference is for Adrian Wintle's charge, who remains on an attractive mark following a 3 lb rise for his recent Exeter success. Write It Down is also worth considering.
