Wigglesworth^b¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Cillin Leonard⁽³⁾| T: Dr R D P Newland| OR: 110

11/4

Hurdles winner who scored on chase debut at Worcester (23f) in October and back to that level when runner-up at Sedgefield (26.9f) last month. Rates a likely player with a repeat from same mark.

Form: PU4U32

Big Difference^v1⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-9| J: Luca Morgan⁽³⁾| T: B Pauling| OR: 107

4/1

Ran creditably when runner-up over hurdles at Taunton (23.9f) on his penultimate start but form over fences has become patchy, going in snatches prior to falling heavily at the fourteenth in a C&D handicap 9 days ago. Visor replaces blinkers here.

Form: 2F-662F

Exod'ela^p,t¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-6| J: Archie Bellamy⁽³⁾| T: Jamie Snowden| OR: 104

9/1

Started his chase campaign promisingly but not kicked on subsequently, well beaten/pulled up in handicaps prior to unseating at the first at Fakenham (29f, on back of wind op) 2 weeks ago. Not discounted.

Form: 0-446PU

Eclair On Line^p,t²⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-2| J: Lily Pinchin| T: C E Longsdon| OR: 100| BF

11/4

Winning pointer who has highlighted he has something to offer over fences on back of lengthy absence, in share of second when falling 3 out at Wincanton (25f) last month. Remains low-mileage and worth a second look.

Form: 553/P3F

Ballybreen^p,t²³

Age: 9| Weight: 10-10| J: Isabel Williams⁽³⁾| T: Evan Williams| OR: 94| CD

8/1

Successful over fences at Fontwell (26f) last winter but exploits more miss than hit subsequently, well beaten sixth in 8-runner Exeter handicap (3m) early on last month. Cheekpieces/tongue tie replace visor now.

Form: P56FU6

Eaton Miller^p³⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 10-1| J: Daniel Hiskett| T: R Potter| OR: 85

9/1

Modest hurdler/chaser who scored twice last season. Good second after 10 months off in handicap chase at Taunton (26.3f, soft) in December but laboured efforts both starts in February.

Form: 11F-2PP

Take Em Out^p1,t⁷³

Age: 10| Weight: 10-0| J: Charlie Price| T: B J Llewellyn| OR: 83

14/1

Matched fair hurdles form when landing a Stratford handicap chase (22.5f) in July 2019. Very lightly raced since, disappointing on 2 of his last 3 starts for Dai Burchell. Starts out for new yard now.

Form: P-82P49

Forecasts

Eclair On Line (11/4), Wigglesworth (11/4), Big Difference (4/1), Ballybreen (8/1), Exod'ela (9/1), Eaton Miller (9/1), Take Em Out (14/1)

WIGGLESWORTH was no match for one operating firmly at the top of his game at Sedgefield last month, yet he still managed to finish a long way clear of the remainder and, from the same mark, he can be expected to go close for his in-form stable. Eclair On Line may emerge as the chief threat, ahead of Exod'ela and Big Difference.
