Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: Adam Wedge| T: F O'Brien| OR: 145| D

17/2

Point/hurdles winner who, whilst very lightly raced, proved he's a chaser of useful merit when landing Haydock Grade 2 in January. Has to concede weight all round but remains totally unexposed.

Form: 317/21-

Espoir De Romay^t²⁰⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: David Bass| T: K Bailey & M Nicholls| OR: 160| D

2/1

Progressive hurdler who doubled his chase tally with minimum fuss at Leicester (20f) in March. Set to raise his game further when falling 2 out in Aintree Grade 1 final start and remains unexposed.

Form: 10/121F-

Fiddlerontheroof^t²⁰⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Brendan Powell| T: C L Tizzard| OR: 148

7/2

Useful novice hurdler who displayed smart form over fences last term, including when excellent second to Monkfish in Cheltenham Grade 1. Well beaten at Aintree on final start but can bounce back.

Form: 122223-

Informateur²²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-2| J: Ryan Mania| T: J Parkinson & S Smith| OR: 135| D

66/1

Fairly useful hurdler who doubled his chase tally at Haydock (20.6f) in March, jumping on 3 out and in command soon after. Likeable type but this is a tough assignment on return.

Form: 612421-

Ahoy Senor²⁰⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-10| J: D R Fox| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 152| D

5/2

Successful pointer who created a good impression when making winning start over hurdles at Ayr. Overcame considerable rise in class when making all in the Sefton and he's a smashing chasing prospect.

Form: U/1211-

Pay The Piper¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-10| J: Danny McMenamin| T: Mrs A Hamilton| OR: 140| C

6/1

Point winner who displayed useful form over hurdles and ran to a similar level when second on Perth chasing debut/return prior to finishing alone in novice at Wetherby. Remains open to progress.

Form: 1112-21

Forecasts

Espoir De Romay (2/1), Ahoy Senor (5/2), Fiddlerontheroof (7/2), Pay The Piper (6/1), Silver Hallmark (17/2), Informateur (66/1)

ESPOIR DE ROMAY was still in front when falling 2 out in an Aintree Grade 1 on his final outing in April, so he very much looks a chaser to keep on the right side of this season. Fiddlerontheroof is expected to bounce back to form on his seasonal return and is respected, while Ahoy Senor, a smashing chase prospect, and Pay The Piper add further spice to the contest.
