Age: 11| Weight: 12-2| J: Mr Peter Bryan⁽³⁾| T: G Nicholls| OR: 112| D

20/1

Fairly useful hunter chaser who was pulled up on only outing for Barry Brennan in handicap chase at Newbury in December. Back with previous trainer now and has something to prove.

Magic Saint^p,t²⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 12-2| J: Miss Olive Nicholls⁽⁵⁾| T: P F Nicholls| OR: 131| BF| D

4/6

Completed a rather straightforward task in ready fashion at Wincanton in March then seemed to find his stamina stretched at Aintree. Shade disappointing at Cheltenham on most recent outing but still sets the standard.

Form: 6/4210-4

Kaproyale^t¹⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr Zac Baker| T: Francesca Poste| OR: 115

11/4

Prolific winning pointer who scored for the first time under Rules in 7-runner hunter at Huntingdon (23.6f) 10 daysa ago, easily. That didn't take much winning but he still warrants respect.

Form: 12212-1

Avoir De Soins⁴⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Miss Chloe Emsley⁽⁷⁾| T: Stuart Payne| OR: 85

80/1

Poor hurdler/modest handicap chaser who was pulled up at Market Rasen on only start for Jonjo O'Neill in December 2021. Not seen under Rules since then and recent exploits in points hardly inspire.

Form: 45P/2P4-

Due Reward³²

Age: 10| Weight: 11-12| J: Miss Gina Andrews| T: Miss Kelly Morgan| OR: 113| D

13/2

Fairly useful chaser. Offered little on first Rules start since leaving Charlie Longsdon when pulled up in a hunter at Ludlow in March but has since added to his tally in points.

Form: 2693P-1

Flaminger^p²⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Mr Daniel Cherriman⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss H Brookshaw| OR: 95

50/1

Maiden hurdler/modest handicap chaser for Gary Moore and unpromising in points this year.

Form: 4/54P3-3

Le Correzien^t⁶²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Tom Broughton⁽⁵⁾| T: D Brace| OR: 107| D

33/1

Made a successful hurdling debut in a Dieppe 4-y-o event for Gabriel Leender but disappointed both starts for Henry De Bromhead in late 2021. Finished third on his completed start in points in April ahead of this switch to chasing.

Form: 170/U3-

Rewritetherules^t¹²

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Mr David O'Brien⁽⁷⁾| T: David O'Brien| OR: 99

20/1

Multiple point winner but hasn't shown much under Rules for a while now.

Form: 4PU2-P4

Sending Love^p1,t²⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 11-12| J: Nathan Rahman⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss D Ball| OR: 103

66/1

Fairly useful hurdler for Paul Nicholls but has been disappointing over fences and it's easy to look elsewhere. Cheekpieces on for 1st time.

Forecasts

Magic Saint (4/6), Kaproyale (11/4), Due Reward (13/2), Rewritetherules (20/1), Capitaine (20/1), Le Correzien (33/1), Flaminger (50/1), Sending Love (66/1), Avoir De Soins (80/1)

MAGIC SAINT was a shade underwhelming at Cheltenham on his most recent outing, but still sets a clear standard and has to be considered the one to beat. Kaproyale opened his Rules account in smooth fashion at Huntingdon recently and rates the main threat.
