8/11

Reached a fairly useful level in landing 3 of his 5 starts over hurdles, runner-up on return behind Remastered at Aintree. Walked over on intended chase debut at Ascot 2 weeks ago and he's a useful prospect for this game. Tongue tie fitted.

Form: 1411-21

Fable³⁶³

7/1

Irish point winner who made a bright start over hurdles during early 2021, landing 2 of her 3 starts in mares' maiden/novice events at up to 3m. Absent since being pulled up here 12 months ago so interesting to see what the market makes of her now chasing after a wind op.

Form: 1211/P-

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: Alex Edwards⁽³⁾| T: Mrs M Rowley| OR: 123

13/2

Lightly-raced point winner who cemented positive start over hurdles when landing a maiden at Huntingdon (20.6f) back in spring 2021. Not disgraced when third under a penalty at Wetherby (19.7f) in January and not ruled out now going chasing 10 months on.

Form: 14F2/13-

Gloire D'Athon^h,t³⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: T Scudamore| T: Mrs S J Humphrey| OR: 122| D

3/1

Really found his feet for his new yard in recent months, supplementing his Huntingdon success in June with another impressive display at Worcester (20f) in October. Assessor applies further pressure but he's certainly a player in his hat-trick bid.

Forecasts

Milan Bridge (8/11), Gloire D'Athon (3/1), Raffle Ticket (13/2), Fable (7/1), Zyon (10/1)

MILAN BRIDGE walked over on his recent chase debut at Ascot but the form of his second over hurdles at Aintree before that has been very well advertised subsequently and he gets the nod given he remains a very interesting prospect in this sphere. That said, Gloire d'Athon is thriving over fences and he's expected to play a big part. Fable may emerge best of the rest.
