10/11

Added another small-field handicap chase to his tally at Hereford (20.8f) last month and backed that up with a good fourth at Newbury (19.8f) 3 weeks ago. Fancied to go well again.

Form: 517114

Torigni¹⁰

11/4

Useful hurdler who matched that form when third on chase debut at Market Rasen (21.4f) 2 starts back. Fell at the second at Kelso (23.4f) since but still early days in this sphere. Not ruled out.

Form: 331-03F

Broken Quest^p,t²³

Age: 9| Weight: 11-0| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: David Dennis| OR: 124| D

5/2

Prolific hurdles winner who opened chase account at Ludlow (20f) in March. Mixed bag followed but better for return when runner-up at Kempton (20.5f) last month. 3 lb lower now and one to consider.

Forecasts

Neville's Cross (10/11), Broken Quest (5/2), Torigni (11/4), Jacamar (11/4)

All four arrive with claims and it may pay to side with BROKEN QUEST. Re-united with his former stable, he stepped up on his reappearance run when runner-up at Kempton last month and, operating 4 lb below his last winning mark, he may well be ready to strike. Neville's Cross may give the selection most to think about.
