Selected odds by:

Friend Or Foe^p³⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: Bryony Frost| T: P F Nicholls| OR: 142| D

8/13

Made good start to chasing career, scoring at Uttoxeter (16f) before good third at Warwick. Excuses on most recent outing and much better expected here.

Form: 124-133

Nelson River²²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-13| J: Harry Bannister| T: A W Carroll| OR: 133| CD

11/8

Caused a surprise when taking 4-runner novice over C&D (soft) on debut over fences 22 days ago, going clear. May have been flattered by that but must be taken seriously on handicap chase debut.

Form: 9/4705-1

Leskinfere^p²²

Age: 9| Weight: 10-3| J: Benjamin Poste| T: J R Cornwall| OR: 71

50/1

Remains a maiden after 27 runs and faces a very stiff task from so far out of the handicap here.

Form: P43574

Dun Bay Creek^p¹⁴

Age: 11| Weight: 10-3| J: Harry Reed| T: R Brotherton| OR: 64

100/1

Of little account nowadays and easy to oppose from so far out of the handicap.

Form: P-8P696

Forecasts

Friend Or Foe (8/13), Nelson River (11/8), Leskinfere (50/1), Dun Bay Creek (100/1)

In what appears a match on paper, preference is for FRIEND OR FOE, whose yard is in much better form than when disappointing at Musselburgh last month. C&D winner Nelson River is the only realistic danger.
