Voix Du Reve^p³⁵

Age: 11| Weight: 12-0| J: Dylan Johnston| T: I Jardine| OR: 120| D

7/1

Yet to score this term but has tumbled down the weights and return to better ground could see upturn in form.

Form: 248F36

Guernesey²³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: Ned Fox| T: J Tizzard| OR: 115

4/1

Generally consistent when trained by Philip Hobbs, scoring at Warwick on good ground in October. Not reached same level in either start for new yard but may have been undone by testing conditions at Taunton latest and could be a player here.

Form: U40362

Restandbethankful^t⁵²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: Miss Leah Cooper⁽⁵⁾| T: R Menzies| OR: 111

10/1

Scored 3 times over timber for Olly Murphy but without a win in 6 starts over fences this term, including on yard debut at Musselburgh last month. Bit to prove back over smaller obstacles now.

Form: 2324P3

Leading Force²³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: William Maggs⁽³⁾| T: A M Thomson| OR: 110| BF

4/1

Irish point winner who has finished runner-up in 4 of his 5 starts over hurdles, latest a 10-runner novice at Hexham (20.1f, heavy, 6/4) 23 days ago. Switches to handicaps and is one for the shortlist.

Form: 2-52222

No Rematch^p¹⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 10-13| J: Miss Imogen Mathias⁽³⁾| T: Henry Oliver| OR: 105| BF

9/1

Back to winning ways in claiming hurdle at Leicester in February. Disappointed subsequently, however, and remains to be seen if switch to new yard sparks a revival in form.

Form: 4-615P3

Castletown^b¹⁶⁸

Age: 11| Weight: 10-4| J: P W Wadge| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 96| CD

4/1

Been a regular in this contest (won in 2019, fourth last year) and proved consistent this season, making the frame in all of his 8 starts. Not seen since November but can go well fresh and figures off a handy mark.

Form: 323322

Euchan Falls^p²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: Lewis Dobb| T: R M Smith| OR: 94| CD

7/2

Has taken his form up a level since fitted with cheekpieces, landing 2m4f handicaps at Musselburgh and this course. Far from disgraced in hat-trick bid at Kelso last month and likely to give another good account.

Form: 926114

Forecasts

Euchan Falls (7/2), Castletown (4/1), Leading Force (4/1), Guernesey (4/1), Voix Du Reve (7/1), Better Getalong (7/1), No Rematch (9/1), Restandbethankful (10/1)

The return to better ground should suit GUERNESEY, who has been given a chance by the handicapper and shaped as if back in form last time. Castletown and Leading Force should also go well.
