Upandatit^t³³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: C O'Farrell| T: N W Alexander| OR: 107| D

10/1

Bounced back with a career-best effort to open account in 21.6f handicap chase at Kelso and in the process of running creditably when departing at the last at Carlisle last month. Place claims if over that.

Form: 43261F

Castlegrange^p³³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: K Scott| OR: 107| D

66/1

Ex-Irish hurdler/chaser, yet to make any major impact over fences this season, though ran well over hurdles at Limerick in December. Well held both starts for new yard in recent months.

Form: 6P2855

Sword Of Fate¹⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 11-8| J: Ryan Mania| T: L Kerr| OR: 103| D

33/1

Readily won handicap chase at Perth (2m) in September and followed that effort with a creditable second over C&D. However, has been below form in 5 starts since.

Monsieur Co^p,t¹⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 11-6| J: B S Hughes| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 101

9/1

Holds his form pretty well nowadays and hit the frame again when third at Carlisle latest, albeit slightly flattered.

Form: 734233

Caboy^p1,t⁵⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 11-6| J: D R Fox| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 101| BF| DWS

12/1

Found his run of good form coming to an abrupt halt at Ayr but type to bounce back after a break with headgear back on.

Form: 84-2325

Ardera Cross^p¹⁰

Age: 11| Weight: 11-5| J: Craig Nichol| T: W Young Jnr| OR: 100| CD

14/1

Notched sixth course success when making all in 6-runner handicap over 2m in February. Out of his depth last time but can bounce back racing off his proper mark now.

Form: 441134

Hidden Commander⁸^{(ex 7)}

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: Sean Quinlan| T: W Coltherd| OR: 91| D

2/5

Positive start for this yard and proved a different proposition faced with larger obstacles (had previously won a point) when facile winner at Kelso last week. Should prove very hard to beat under a penalty.

Form: 6-65731

Boy's On Tour^p⁴¹

Age: 10| Weight: 11-0| J: S Mulqueen| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 95

28/1

Modest handicap chaser nowadays and arrives on the back of a poor run at Musselburgh 6 weeks ago.

Form: 434556

Wee Small Hours^t¹⁵

Age: 13| Weight: 10-11| J: Danny McMenamin| T: M Rice| OR: 92

28/1

Veteran who arrives here on a long losing run and still seeking first win over fences. Below par at Hexham latest.

Form: 302324

Forecasts

Hidden Commander (2/5), Monsieur Co (9/1), Upandatit (10/1), Caboy (12/1), Ardera Cross (14/1), Boy's On Tour (28/1), Wee Small Hours (28/1), Sword Of Fate (33/1), Castlegrange (66/1)

Hard to oppose HIDDEN COMMANDER, who looks thrown in under a penalty after his very easy success on chase bow at Kelso last week. Upandatit, Ardera Cross and Caboy can battle it out for the minor honours.
