Selected odds by:

Notnow Seamus^b1,t³¹

Age: 10| Weight: 12-3| J: William Marshall⁽⁷⁾| T: D J Jeffreys| OR: 107| CD

12/1

Good strike rate over hurdles (5-11), but winless following 9 attempts in this sphere and hopes pinned on first-time blinkers sparking some improvement.

Form: 47P5P-2

Dawn Raider^p,t¹⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: William Shanahan⁽⁷⁾| T: G Hanmer| OR: 102

3/1

Hardly a winning machine, his sole success from 40 starts gained over hurdles in Ireland back in July 2017. However, creditable fifth in a Bangor handicap chase (17.4f) recently and now 3 lb lower.

Form: 04-5635

Brother Pat¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Theo Gillard⁽⁵⁾| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 96

11/4

Failed to progress over hurdles, but took to fences like a duck to water when making a winning chase debut at Market Rasen (21.4f) 18 days ago. 4 lb rise fair and claims if able to build on that.

Form: 3P75-61

Pens Man^t¹²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Alain Cawley| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 94

7/1

Best effort over hurdles when runner-up at Fontwell last August. Has failed to build on that since, but he was successful sole start between the flags and makes chase debut off an attractive mark.

Form: 8/20P6-F

Le Pogues Storm^b¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-5| J: Harry Bannister| T: J R Jenkins| OR: 81

25/1

Winning pointer, but he's 0-16 under Rules and was beating a retreat when unseating 4 out on debut for new yard at Worcester a fortnight ago.

Form: 07482U

Begoodtoyourself^t,v¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-4| J: Philip Armson⁽⁷⁾| T: C N Kellett| OR: 80

11/2

Point winner who went very close to opening Rules account when second at Market Rasen (17.2f) in July. Failed to fire at Bangor recently, but each-way chance if on-song here.

Form: P4-525P

Hold Me Tight^t⁴¹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: Rex Dingle| T: P Gundry| OR: 76WS

17/2

Several creditable placed efforts to his name, but it's hard to ignore the fact that he's 0-43 overall (Flat and jumps). Well held at Worcester last time and since undergone another wind op.

Form: 333-428

Parisian Affair^t¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: J M Quinlan| T: H Whittington| OR: 70

33/1

Showed ability in bumpers and on the Flat, but offered little in 8 starts over hurdles and she's 6 lb 'wrong' at the weights now switched to fences.

Form: 495P/70

Rule 4

Rule 4 applies to all bets - deduction 10p in the pound

Forecasts

Brother Pat (11/4), Dawn Raider (3/1), Begoodtoyourself (11/2), Pens Man (7/1), Billy The Squid (7/1), Hold Me Tight (17/2), Notnow Seamus (12/1), Le Pogues Storm (25/1), Parisian Affair (33/1)

PENS MAN has struggled on his last 4 starts over hurdles (all at around 3m), but is of interest back down in trip for this chase debut. Indeed, he was second in a 21.8f Fontwell handicap hurdle off a 7 lb higher mark last summer and landed a maiden point on his sole run between the flags. Dawn Raider has shown more spark the last twice and is feared, along with chase debut winner Brother Pat.
