Took extremely well to chasing during second half of last year, landing back-to-back mares' handicaps at around this trip. Continued good work when completing hat-trick over timber in April.
|
Three-time novice hurdle winner in 2019/20 and left alone at the first on chase debut at Plumpton in December. Reportedly lost a shoe both starts this season.
|
Resumed winning ways in 14-runner C&D handicap in May and back at that level returned to this venue when third over 23f a fortnight ago. Same mark here.
|
Progressed from low base last term, winning 3 times at up to 19.6f and has continued the good work in recent weeks, going in again at Aintree. 6 lb rise may have anchored her at Cartmel.
|
Fairly useful winning hurdler but not in top form over those obstacles in the spring and offered little on his chase debut when fourth of 6 at Cartmel in May.
|
Fairly useful hurdler, successful twice in 2019. Third in 23f handicap here last month but quickly back over smaller obstacles following an inauspicious chase bow.
|
Lightly raced since twice successful over 2m4f at Uttoxeter in 2019 but got right back on track when clear second of 10 in handicap at Aintree. Similar effort when third over C&D 3 weeks ago.
|
Three-time winner over hurdles for Gordon Elliott who has filled frame on 3 of his 6 starts for present stable. Shaped as though needing the run on last month's reappearance.

Your Band (3/1), Oscar Rose (4/1), Asockastar (11/2), Cotton End (11/2), Rakhine State (6/1), Daybreak Boy (15/2), Thebannerkingrebel (17/2), Umndeni (9/1), Beach Break (20/1)
OSCAR ROSE has really improved her strike rate in the last year or so and though a 7 lb rise for her easy Kempton win demands a career beat, she could easily be up to the job. Your Band and Cotton End are likely to remain competitive at this level and head the opposition.
