3/1

Dual handicap chase winner last season. Back to form when creditable fourth of 9 in handicap chase at Market Rasen (21.4f, good to firm) 17 days ago. Now dipped below last winning mark.

Form: 313P-64

Bothwell Bridge^p¹⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-8| J: Paul O'Brien| T: N J Henderson| OR: 119

9/2

Seemingly not the force of old, making little impact back over fences in this headgear last 2 starts. Others preferred.

Form: P556-58

Pottlerath^p,t³⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: Stan Sheppard| T: M Sheppard| OR: 115| CD

4/1

Successful 3 times over hurdles during 2022 and has sprouted wings in this sphere in recent months, completing the hat-trick at Bangor (3m, good). Obvious claims in current form.

Form: 453-111

Age: 9| Weight: 11-2| J: Brendan Powell| T: J Tizzard| OR: 113| C

11/2

Stopped the slide under a change of tactics when third of 5 in handicap chase at Newton Abbot (21f, good, 15/2) 13 days ago but remains a risky proposition for all he's fallen a long way in the weights.
