Age: 6| Weight: 12-1| J: Alex Edwards⁽³⁾| T: Mrs M Rowley| OR: 121

14/1

Point/bumper winner who made the perfect start over hurdles when seeing off a next-time-out scorer at Ludlow (21.2f) in January. Stumbled and fell at Kempton next time and well held at Cheltenham final start. Chase/handicap debut.

Form: 3/151F6-

Mot A Mot^t²⁰⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: S Thomas| OR: 120

9/2

Kept on well to make successful hurdles debut on last season's return at Worcester and made a winning handicap/yard debut at Newbury final start. Chase debut.

Form: 10/1561-

Arizona Cardinal²¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: C Gethings| T: S Edmunds| OR: 120WS

5/1

Course winner who got back on scoreboard when landing 5-runner novice hurdle at Uttoxeter (23.3f, soft, 5/6) in March, easing clear. Fairly treated back handicapping and should make a chaser (Irish point winner).

Form: 3P4161-

Rocky Lake¹⁹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Ben Jones| T: Miss E C Lavelle| OR: 118

14/1

Made a successful debut over hurdles at Market Rasen in November. Disappointed next time but back to that level after a break when runner-up under a penalty at Kempton in April. Makes handicap/chase debut (runner-up on second of 2 starts in Irish points).

Form: P2/152-

Longshanks²⁰¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: M G Nolan| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 118| BF

12/1

Got off the mark over fences with a career best in 9-runner handicap at Exeter (19.2f, heavy) in March. Disappointed on better ground at Ffos Las following month and any rain would probably increase his chance.

Form: 334214-

Kakamora^t¹⁸⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: J J Burke| T: T R George| OR: 117| DWS

11/1

Back-to-back hurdles winner but mostly didn't really threaten to add to tally over fences last season, albeit still in contention when falling heavily 3 out at Ludlow final start. Down in the weights at least.

Form: 33333F-

Bill Baxter²⁴⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: T Scudamore| T: W Greatrex| OR: 117| D

7/1

Useful bumper winner who opened his account over hurdles in a 20f Ayr novice a year ago. Failed to build on that since and now goes chasing after 8 months off (runner-up sole start in Irish points).

Form: 4/21524-

Operation Overlord^t³³⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: D R Fox| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 116| D

11/1

Restricted to 4 outings spread over 2 years but he has ability and made a winning handicap hurdle debut at Ayr when last seen 11 months ago. Rangy gelding and very much a chasing type.

Form: 45/21-

Mucho Mas^t¹⁸⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: K Brogan| T: B Pauling| OR: 116WS

5/1

Fairly useful bumper winner and similar form over hurdles last season. Makes chase debut.

Form: 617302-

Creative Control^h²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: B S Hughes| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 113| D

11/1

Dual winner over hurdles over this sort of trip last season, including here. Has a pointing background but turned in a rather lacklustre display sent chasing at Sedgefield on return.

Form: 31130-2

Good Work^t³⁴⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Henry Brooke| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 108

12/1

On good mark given his form in France but was below par for new stable at Worcester a year ago. Not seen since but yard in better form now.

Form: 42/F55-

Forecasts

Mot A Mot (9/2), Arizona Cardinal (5/1), Mucho Mas (5/1), Bill Baxter (7/1), Creative Control (11/1), Kakamora (11/1), Operation Overlord (11/1), Good Work (12/1), Longshanks (12/1), Latitude (14/1), Rocky Lake (14/1)

GOOD WORK disappointed on his UK debut a year ago but his yard is in better form now and he's on a good mark on the pick of his French form, so he could be the answer. Kakamora starts the campaign potentially well treated so could go well, while progressive hurdlers Arizona Cardinal and Operation Overlord should both take to this sphere.
