Selected odds by:

Duke Debarry²²

Age: 10| Weight: 11-12| J: Henry Brooke| T: B Ellison| OR: 120

22/1

Fairly useful chaser at best but has had his problems and seemed amiss on both outings so far this year.

Form: 5PP1/P-P

Presence Of Mind^p1⁴¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: Aidan Coleman| T: O Murphy| OR: 119| BF

4/1

Winner of sole start between the flags and successful in a bumper/novice hurdle. Good efforts over fences the last twice and this looks a bit easier, so he boasts leading claims with cheekpieces on.

Form: 1/98F23-

Compadre²³

Age: 10| Weight: 11-9| J: Benjamin Poste| T: H J Evans| OR: 117| CD

10/1

Benefited from a return to this discipline when a smooth-travelling second at Haydock last month and shaped as if still in form at Market Rasen subsequently. Not a forlorn hope if they go quick.

Form: 185P2-6

Frisco Bay^p,t²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 113| C

3/1

Fair winning hurdler who matched that form when an encouraging third in a handicap at Worcester on his first go at chasing. Likely to give another good account.

Form: 23371-3

Billygwyn Too²⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: R Patrick| T: Christian Williams| OR: 112| D

13/2

Point/bumper winner who was progressive over hurdles and looks the type to take another step forward now switched to the larger obstacles. One to note if market speaks in his favour.

Form: 81P/75-2

Well Smitten^p¹⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 11-2| J: Jonathan England| T: S England| OR: 110

10/1

Tricky customer who was suited by the emphasis on speed when scoring at Market Rasen 10 days ago. Up just 2 lb so should go well again.

Form: 2635-61

Sizing Cusimano^b¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-2| J: Brendan Powell| T: C L Tizzard| OR: 110| C

5/1

It's now twelve runs since his last win back in 2018. Not disgraced when third in handicap chase at Stratford last time but he's always vulnerable.

Form: 62P4-33

Renwick^p,t²⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-2| J: T J O'Brien| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 110| C

7/1

Dual 20f hurdle winner for Dan Skelton in 2018/19. Disappointing as a chaser subsequently, albeit his fourth at Southwell on second start for this yard was a better showing. Cheekpieces back on.

Form: 1602/P-4

Primal Focus⁴⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 10-8| J: Jack Tudor⁽³⁾| T: Christian Williams| OR: 102

28/1

Forecasts

Frisco Bay (3/1), Presence Of Mind (4/1), Sizing Cusimano (5/1), Billygwyn Too (13/2), Renwick (7/1), Well Smitten (10/1), Compadre (10/1), Duke Debarry (22/1), Primal Focus (28/1)

PRESENCE OF MIND arrives on the back of a couple of creditable efforts and this race might not take much winning, so he gets the nod ahead of recent Market Rasen scorer Well Smitten. Frisco Bay is progressive in the main and unexposed over the larger obstacles, so he's another to consider.
