Selected odds by:

Wake Up Early^p²⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 12-2| J: Charlie Hammond| T: Dr R D P Newland| OR: 102

5/2

In good form for his new yard, winning at Fakenham before second over C&D. Another prominent showing is on the cards.

Form: 090P13-

Fiston Du Mou^p⁶⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-13| J: Miss Becky Smith⁽³⁾| T: Mrs A Duffield| OR: 85

11/1

Struggled in handicap chases in Ireland at the start of the year and remains to be seen if a change of yard sparks an upturn in his fortunes.

Form: 3PUP00-

Going Mobile^h,t²⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: Jonathan England| T: S England| OR: 84

9/2

Likely to be sharper for a comeback run over C&D and he certainly has handicapping scope having dipped to a clear career-low mark. Worth keeping an eye on in the betting.

Form: 2P0458-

Kingston King^p,t²³

Age: 8| Weight: 10-11| J: Max Kendrick| T: J Coulson| OR: 83

8/1

Pair of chase wins for David Rees last season. Better effort for new trainer this spring when second at Stratford 23 days ago. Will be competitive if showing up in similar form.

Form: 173P62-

Ballycorr^b1¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-3| J: B S Hughes| T: Henry Oliver| OR: 75| BF

15/8

Has shown enough this spring to suggest he can win a race like this and has Brian Hughes taking over in the saddle this evening. First-time blinkers replace visor. Player.

Form: F86434-

Amber Run^p,t⁵⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 10-2| J: Alain Cawley| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 70

16/1

Showed next to nothing over hurdles in Ireland and no real impact in 4 starts over larger obstacles for current connections.

Form: 00/PP6P-

Supreme Steel^b⁶⁸

Age: 11| Weight: 10-2| J: Peter Kavanagh⁽⁵⁾| T: M E Sowersby| OR: 69

66/1

Veteran who capitalised on a much-reduced mark in novice handicap chase at Hexham in October. Fell at the last when would have been second over this C&D 5 days later, but below form since.

Form: F55546-

Hidden Glen¹⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 10-2| J: Jack Hogan⁽⁷⁾| T: M E Sowersby| OR: 67

16/1

Best effort for a while when fourth of 10 over C&D last month but pulled up at Huntingdon since. 5 lb out of handicap here.

Form: 6UP34P-

Strategic^b,t¹⁷³

Age: 7| Weight: 10-2| J: Danny Burton⁽⁵⁾| T: M E Sowersby| OR: 63

150/1

Limited hurdler/chaser. Likely to struggle from out of the weights.

Form: P8P36P-

Forecasts

Ballycorr (15/8), Wake Up Early (5/2), Going Mobile (9/2), Kingston King (8/1), Fiston Du Mou (11/1), Amber Run (16/1), Hidden Glen (16/1), Supreme Steel (66/1), Strategic (150/1)

Perhaps a combination of Brian Hughes in the saddle and first-time blinkers will see BALLYCORR notch a first win. Wake Up Early has made a positive start for the Dr Richard Newland stable and is second choice ahead of Kingston King.
