Celtic Joy^p¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Mr D Edwards⁽⁵⁾| T: G F Edwards| OR: 105

25/1

Sole win came in Kempton handicap in 2019 and he has largely offered little since, flattered by proximity when last of 4 in handicap chase (28/1) over C&D 14 days ago. Easy to look elsewhere.

Form: 7845-84

Sunny Express^p,t1¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: T J O'Brien| T: W Greatrex| OR: 104

15/2

Fair maiden hurdler who has matched that form over fences, though below form at Fontwell (21.6f) last time. Bounce back is required.

Form: F5253-5

Pointed And Sharp^t¹⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 11-10| J: M G Nolan| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 103| D

16/1

Completed hat-trick of chase victories in 2019 but untrustworthy in general. Ran one of his better races when second of 4 in handicap chase over C&D 14 days ago yet others are preferred.

Form: 75F3-72

Trumps Benefit^p,t²³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-9| J: D A Jacob| T: R Potter| OR: 102

15/2

Back to form for new yard, regaining the winning thread at Hexham before fourth at Southwell 23 days ago. In the mix off the same mark.

Form: 6F73-14

Out For Justice^t²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-8| J: Shane Quinlan⁽⁵⁾| T: Katy Price| OR: 101| D

4/1

Capitalised on a reduced mark to score at Chepstow and Worcester in April and posted good fourth back at Worcester last time. Sure to go well again in his current mood.

Form: 44711-4

Drewmain Legend^p⁷³

Age: 9| Weight: 11-7| J: James Bowen| T: A Stronge| OR: 100| DWS

25/1

Returned after wind op with 2m handicap hurdle win at Hereford in November but well below par over hurdles/fences since. Has questions to answer at present.

Form: 3P/17F6-

Lermoos Legend^p¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: S Bowen| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 91| C

11/8

On the up over fences and has bagged two 2m handicap wins here, jumping much better when cosy scorer last time. Has more to offer and rates a big player despite 5 lb rise.

Form: 2FP2-11

Buck Bravo^b,t²²¹

Age: 9| Weight: 10-6| J: Ben Jones⁽³⁾| T: D A Rees| OR: 85| C| D

10/1

Scored at Newton Abbot in September, but in nothing like the same form twice since and unseated first when retried over fences at Stratford 7 months ago. Has lots to prove on his comeback.

Form: 18/17PU-

Fact Flow^p²²

Age: 12| Weight: 10-6| J: R T Dunne| T: D Burchell| OR: 85| D

9/1

In good form since equipped with cheekpieces, deservedly getting his head back in front at Chepstow (19.4f) in April and fourth of 13 in handicap at Warwick (20f) 22 days ago. Holds solid claims.

Form: 3331-04

Forecasts

Lermoos Legend (11/8), Out For Justice (4/1), Trumps Benefit (15/2), Sunny Express (15/2), Fact Flow (9/1), Buck Bravo (10/1), Pointed And Sharp (16/1), Celtic Joy (25/1), Drewmain Legend (25/1)

LERMOOS LEGEND's form is on an upward curve and he is fancied to rattle off a quick hat-trick here after his impressive victory last time. Out For Justice also arrives in excellent order and poses the biggest danger, with veteran Fact Flow and Hexham-scorer Trumps Benefit likely to be on the premises too in an open handicap.
