9/4

Always looked like a chaser and improved on his hurdles form as he made a winning return over fences in novice handicap at Hereford over this trip last month from Outonpatrol. More to come.

Form: 2181F-1

Forgot To Ask^t⁴³

Age: 9| Weight: 11-6| J: J J Burke| T: T R George| OR: 128| D

7/1

Has won at Plumpton and Market Rasen this year and good efforts the last twice, though he'll need more to come out on top in this company.

Form: 21-1022

Minella Encore^b1,t²³

Age: 9| Weight: 11-6| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: Dr R D P Newland| OR: 128

14/1

Arguably fortunate when opening account over fences in eventful 3m Fakenham handicap on return and no impact in deeper race at Cheltenham next time. Blinkers tried with tongue tie back on now.

Form: 4258-1P

Outonpatrol²⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: A King| OR: 127| C

4/1

Two from 2 over fences here this term and ran well when overhauled by Switch Hitter at Hereford last month. Clearly needs to pull out a bit more to take this, though.

Form: 142312

Bobo Mac^p²⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 11-5| J: David Noonan| T: T Symonds| OR: 127| CD

10/1

Last win came in a similar event over C&D on return 2 seasons back, but last month's Bangor run was disappointing given his usual good record fresh. Dropped another 3 lb at least.

Form: 22/363-9

Reve^p¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: James Bowen| T: M Keighley| OR: 124| BF| CD

11/2

Idle sort but put his best foot forward to double tally over fences in C&D handicap a month ago. Added to mixed record with a poor run at Catterick next time, however. Headgear goes back on.

Form: 3-47U14

Subcontinent²⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 10-9| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: Miss V Williams| OR: 117| C

5/1

Came good again in 3m handicap chase here in February (last 2 wins at this track) but hasn't completed in 2 runs since, falling 2 out on return in Cheltenham handicap hurdle. Down in the weights.

Form: 4351P-F

Forecasts

Switch Hitter (9/4), Outonpatrol (4/1), Subcontinent (5/1), Reve (11/2), Forgot To Ask (7/1), Bobo Mac (10/1), Minella Encore (14/1)

There is more to come from SWITCH HITTER over fences and given his rivals here are pretty much established he can follow up his Hereford victory. Subcontinent could be the danger down in the weights back at the scene of his last 2 wins.
