Selected odds by:

Diable De Sivola¹⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Capt W B Ramsay⁽⁵⁾| T: W Ramsay| OR: 110

12/1

One-time useful chaser. Third in Musselburgh handicap in January (final start for Rose Dobbin) shows he's still capable of fair form. Also third in point since.

Form: PP5-633

Drakes Well^p⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Alice Stevens⁽⁵⁾| T: F Hutsby| OR: 112

9/2

Fair and consistent hurdler/chaser for David Bridgwater who didn't help is cause with jumping errors when third in a Leicester hunter for new connections last month. Unseated in point since.

Form: 32353U

Envoye Special^h,t³²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Mr James King| T: C R Barber| OR: 115| BF

7/4

Fairly useful chaser who, fit from points, shaped better than the result when fourth (Envoye Special second) in a hunter at Ffos Las 32 days ago. Likely to go well.

Form: 12-2124

Imperial Nemesis²⁴⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Mr Joshua Bennett⁽⁷⁾| T: Dr A King| OR: 90

100/1

Fair hurdler/chaser for Nigel Twiston-Davies but temperament looked to have got the better of him when last seen in summer 2021. Change of scenery needs to have sweetened him up.

Form: P27P-P0

Jaunty Flyer^p,t³²

Age: 10| Weight: 11-12| J: Mr D Andrews⁽⁷⁾| T: R L Llewellyn| OR: 112

9/4

Made a fine return from a long absence when second (Envoye Special fourth) in Ffos Las hunter a month ago and might have won but for a late stumble. Tongue strap back on. Leading claims.

Form: 44PPP/2

Mystic Court^h³⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Mr Peter Summers⁽⁷⁾| T: S Hosie| OR: 95

50/1

Modest hurdler. Probably best watched on chase debut for yet another new trainer.

Form: 3U360P

Sparkleandshine^t¹⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Mrs Izzie Hill⁽⁷⁾| T: A Hill| OR: 111

13/2

Maiden hurdle winner for Sam Thomas back in spring 2018. Second in a 19.5f course handicap chase for Lawney Hill last summer. Sharper for a couple of point runs last month.

Form: 2-52635

Streets Of London¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Mr P York| T: Nigel Benstead| OR: 90

20/1

Third in a Fakenham hunter last May and arrives fit from points (placed last twice). Has a fair bit to find on form.

Form: 36UP32

Takoda^t²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Mr George Hiscock⁽⁷⁾| T: S Hosie| OR: 88

66/1

Modest over hurdles but wide-margin point win at the start of his career provides hope for better now chasing for a new trainer.

Form: 504F60

Tangoed²⁷⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 11-5| J: Mr Daniel Kyne⁽⁷⁾| T: R Varnham| OR: 86| D

50/1

Added to point haul last April but well held in a hunter chase the following month and not seen since finishing well held in a point last June.

Form: P71-628

Forecasts

Envoye Special (7/4), Jaunty Flyer (9/4), Drakes Well (9/2), Sparkleandshine (13/2), Diable De Sivola (12/1), Streets Of London (20/1), Blackjacktennessee (20/1), Capac (25/1), Jethro Said (33/1), Tangoed (50/1), Mystic Court (50/1), Takoda (66/1), Imperial Nemesis (100/1)

JAUNTY FLYER gets the nod to confirm last month's Ffos Las superiority over Envoye Special. Drakes Well should also play a part if he can keep the mistakes to a minimum.
