Exod'ela^p,t⁵⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: J J Burke| T: Jamie Snowden| OR: 104WS

5/1

Started his chase campaign promisingly but poor runs last twice. Well treated on his hurdles form but needs a revival. Tongue tie back on after break/wind op.

Form: F0-446P

Wake Up Early^p⁷⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: Charlie Hammond| T: Dr R D P Newland| OR: 99

4/1

Sketchy jumper with a poor strike rate in Ireland. Needs to improve upped in trip by new yard but certainly possible.

Form: P2090P

Goodnight Charlie^v³⁹

Age: 12| Weight: 11-6| J: Bryony Frost| T: C Fryer| OR: 98| CD

17/2

Usually all or nothing with her, making all in C&D handicap on New Year's Day but dropping away twice since. Headgear back on.

Form: P3-P1PP

Ajay's Ways^t³⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 10-11| J: B S Hughes| T: F O'Brien| OR: 89| BF| C

2/1

Justified good support to make a winning start over fences here (21.2f) in January, showing plenty of stamina. Not so good at Doncaster next time but worth another chance upped further in trip.

Form: 36-9817

Sackett^v³⁶

Age: 11| Weight: 10-6| J: J M Quinlan| T: N B King| OR: 84| C

10/1

Fairly useful chaser at best, won 3m handicap at this meeting last year. Temperament has got the better of him this season however.

Form: 6PP73P

Vinnie's Getaway³⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽³⁾| T: C Hobson| OR: 78

4/1

Perth winner last summer. Been given a big chance in the weights for new yard and fared better behind improver here (21.2f) last month. Could figure if staying this new trip.

Form: P45782

Forecasts

Ajay's Ways (2/1), Wake Up Early (4/1), Vinnie's Getaway (4/1), Exod'ela (5/1), Goodnight Charlie (17/2), Sackett (10/1)

AJAY'S WAYS looked all stamina when making a successful start over fences here in January, and although he wasn't so good at Doncaster next time, he's worth another chance back at this venue and upped even further in trip. The well-treated Vinnie's Getaway could be a player if his stamina holds out. Wake Up Early is another to note.
