Age: 9| Weight: 11-5| J: Bryony Frost| T: L Wadham| OR: 127| C

15/8

Both chase victories gained here (21f) and back to form when runner-up over extended 25f at Plumpton in February. No surprise to see him go well again here from same mark.

Form: 0-71P52

Via Dolorosa^b,t¹¹^{(ex 7)}

Age: 10| Weight: 11-5| J: Philip Armson⁽⁷⁾| T: D Pipe| OR: 120| D

11/4

Useful in France and easily best effort for present yard when landing 8-runner Southwell handicap chase (3m) 11 days ago. Rider's claim off-sets penalty and he's a player with a repeat.

Form: 14UP61

Outonpatrol¹⁰²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: Tom Cannon| T: A King| OR: 126| D

6/1

Doubled chase tally in another small-field affair at Ludlow (23.8f) in October. Better than distance beaten suggests back at that venue in December and returns with yard going along nicely.

Form: 423124

Potters Legend^p²⁹

Age: 12| Weight: 11-3| J: J M Quinlan| T: L Wadham| OR: 125| CD

7/2

Veteran C&D winner who ran well when fifth in a class 2 Cheltenham handicap 2 starts back. Not in same form when last of 4 at Sandown (3m) latest, so bounce back called for.

Form: 1-65P54

Go Steady^p,t¹²

Age: 10| Weight: 11-0| J: Tristan Durrell⁽⁷⁾| T: D Skelton| OR: 122

8/1

Winning hurdler/chaser who ultimately finished well held when third over extended 19f at Huntingdon 12 days ago, driven home turn but folding soon after. Couple of others appeal more.

Form: 318233

Forecasts

Admiral Barratry (15/8), Via Dolorosa (11/4), Potters Legend (7/2), Outonpatrol (6/1), Go Steady (8/1)

Both of ADMIRAL BARRATRY's chase victories have come around this venue under today's pilot and, having signalled a return to form when runner-up from this mark at Plumpton (25.7f) last month, he could be the way to go. The returning Outonpatrol is narrowly preferred to Via Dolorosa to pose the chief threat.
