Camp Belan⁶²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: S Mulqueen| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 105

Maiden pointer who showed fair form only hurdles start in Ireland. Below that level both starts for new yard but entitled to come on for return. Makes chase debut.

7/1

Yet to win in this country, though he's run well in similar contests last 3 starts and you'd think his turn will come.

Gosuatri³⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: W T Kennedy| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 94

6/1

Won a French bumper in 2019. Limited impact over hurdles during the spring but big improver when third on handicap bow at Chepstow on return. Makes quick switch to chasing and needs considering.

11/4

Got back on track sent chasing this season, placed here (17f) and at Uttoxeter. Should have more to offer in this sphere.

Form: 456P-32

Admiral Balko^t¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: Nick Scholfield| T: Mrs J Williams| OR: 98| D

3/1

Made a winning handicap hurdle debut at Wincanton in March and all the better for return when creditable fourth on chase bow at Hereford last time. Open to improvement in this sphere.

Age: 10| Weight: 10-11| J: Harrison Beswick⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs E Bishop| OR: 90| C| D

33/1

Four-time chase winner, including here, but needs to bounce back in a major way following a thoroughly underwhelming calendar year.

Bitasweetsymphony (11/4), Admiral Balko (3/1), Gosuatri (6/1), Zuckerberg (7/1), Kestrel Valley (9/1), Vocaliser (10/1), Vetoncall (14/1), Man Of The North (16/1), Camp Belan (18/1), Glance Back (33/1), O Ceallaigh (33/1), Thais Toir (66/1), Monition (150/1)

GOSUATRI showed big improvement when third on his handicap bow at Chepstow on return 5 weeks ago and looks an interesting runner switched to fences off the same mark. Admiral Balko made a promising start over fences when fourth at Hereford and is another to consider along with Vocaliser, who's back down in class.
