Lord Bryan^p,t⁴³

Age: 12| Weight: 12-0| J: S Bowen| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 100| D

12/1

Racked up a hat-trick last spring/early summer but has pulled up on 6 of his 8 starts since. Dangerously well treated but comes with plenty of risks.

Form: 3P-P3PP

Do No Wrong³³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: Finn Lambert⁽⁵⁾| T: Justin Landy| OR: 97| CD

11/4

Career best when winning 5-runner C&D handicap (good to soft) 33 days ago. Big shout on that form up 4 lb but his all-or-nothing profile needs bearing in mind.

Form: 3-P1F41

Prison Break^p⁸³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: Alan Johns| T: Tim Vaughan| OR: 92

25/1

Fair performer on the Flat for Richard Fahey. Won a Ffos Las handicap hurdle last summer but has rarely scaled the same heights since, beaten 16 lengths when fourth back at Ffos Las latest. Makes chase debut.

Form: 4P8P-54

Boagrius^b,t⁴³

Age: 11| Weight: 11-5| J: C Gethings| T: T R George| OR: 91| D

22/1

Won at Worcester last autumn and ended 2022 with a pair of good runner-up efforts. Below his best this season (distant second on penultimate start) but he's back on a good mark and shaped a better last time.

Form: 522-625

Eightytwo Team^p,t³³

Age: 7| Weight: 10-7| J: Brendan Powell| T: C Ellam| OR: 79| D

17/2

Long-standing maiden in Ireland who finally bucked that trend equipped with a first-time tongue tie at Southwell (3m) in July. Added to his patchy record when a well-held third over this C&D since.

Form: U35313

Champagne Gift^p²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-7| J: Kielan Woods| T: D J Jeffreys| OR: 79

9/1

Poor form over hurdles, including in handicaps. this summer. Needs a switch to fences to spark improvement.

Form: 506-447

A Place Apart²⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 10-5| J: Danny McMenamin| T: Miss L Harrison| OR: 77

12/1

Little impact last season but better signs when second of 6 at Perth (2½m) 29 days ago. Claims if he can build on that now stepping back up in trip.

Form: 53790-2

Garcon Dargent^b⁴²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-4| J: Chris Ward⁽³⁾| T: Deborah Cole| OR: 76| D

10/3

Successful twice between the flags and first sign of promise under Rules when third on C&D handicap debut 6 weeks ago. Thereabouts if in similar form.

Form: 2P0P-P3

Bignorm^p³¹

Age: 11| Weight: 10-2| J: Benjamin Poste| T: Mrs R Gasson| OR: 74

7/1

Placed for the fifth start in succession when third over C&D last month, although he did make quite hard work of it.

Form: 4332-33

Lough Salt^p¹¹

Age: 12| Weight: 10-2| J: J Kington| T: P Winks| OR: 74| D

9/1

Successful twice in early 2022 and ran of his better recent races when second over 3m at Market Rasen 11 days ago.

Form: 734-U62

Duke Of Luckley³⁶

T: M Keighley J: B S Hughes

Forecasts

Do No Wrong (11/4), Garcon Dargent (10/3), Duke Of Luckley (4/1), Bignorm (7/1), Eightytwo Team (17/2), Lough Salt (9/1), Champagne Gift (9/1), A Place Apart (12/1), Lord Bryan (12/1), Boagrius (22/1), Prison Break (25/1)

A chance is taken on DUKE OF LUCKLEY's stamina now stepping up to 3m for the first time. Last-time-out C&D scorer Do No Wrong will be a danger if he can string good runs together for a change. Boagrius and A Place Apart are others to consider in a race where a case of sorts can be made for most.
