First Lord De Cuet^t,v1²⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Fergus Gillard⁽⁵⁾| T: D Pipe| OR: 133| BF

7/4

Deservedly got his head in front in 21.4f handicap hurdle at Wincanton in February but somewhat disappointing since, including when only second in novice at Hexham on chasing debut. Now visored.

Form: 24210-2

Oski^p⁴⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 11-8| J: Max Kendrick| T: F O'Brien| OR: 129| BF

2/1

Lightly-raced 9-y-o who resumed winning ways in first-time cheekpieces at Uttoxeter (2m4f) and was running well (likely to have been second) before coming down at the last at Cheltenham last time.

Form: U3P21F-

Grand Mogul¹⁷⁶

15/8

Fairly useful winning hurdler who was disappointing the last twice but returns from a break having undergone wind surgery. Very much built for chasing, so makes plenty of appeal.

Form: 1P6/152-

Ashjan^p¹²

Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: S Mulqueen| T: Miss S E Forster| OR: 89

25/1

Modest chaser who is well up against it from miles out of the weights.

Form: 46344-2

Forecasts

First Lord De Cuet (7/4), Grand Mogul (15/8), Oski (2/1), Ashjan (25/1)

GRAND MOGUL might not have quite come up to expectations over hurdles but he's had a breathing operation since last seen and, based on his physical presence, he's likely to up his game now switched to the larger obstacles, so is preferred to the in-form Oski. First Lord de Cuet also has to be respected.
