Zoran^t¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: Miss E C Lavelle| OR: 97| BF

3/1

Struck at the second time of asking over fences in 2½m Worcester handicap last month. Not in the same form when a well-held fourth there 3 week later but this looks a decent opportunity for him to bounce back.

Form: 9-53214

Bensini¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Toby Wynne⁽⁵⁾| T: R L Llewellyn| OR: 83

9/4

Won 2½m Worcester handicap hurdle in July and respectable efforts in defeat at Southwell and Newton Abbot since. Claims if taking to fences at the first time of asking.

Form: 90P-156

No Worries^p,t⁴⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 10-12| J: Bryan Carver| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 81

4/1

Won 3 times over hurdles in 2021/22 season and struck on Ludlow chase debut last November. Hasn't built on that since but has reached the frame at Worcester on his last 2 starts and he should be competitive here.

Form: 81F-P43

Toad Of Toad Hall²²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-10| J: Philip Armson⁽³⁾| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR: 79| C

4/1

Career best when winning 5-runner handicap chase over 3¼m in May but not in anything like the same form when a remote fifth at Market Rasen 12 weeks later. Return to this venue needs to spark a revival.

Form: P6P-P15

An Marcach^v⁵⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 10-3| J: Cillin Leonard⁽⁵⁾| T: Dr R D P Newland| OR: 72

15/2

Just 1 win from 39 starts. Nowhere near as good as his last 2 form figures might suggest, beaten 47 lengths when second over 3¼m here in May and last of 4 at Cartmel since.

Form: 46P-P24

Auld Sod^b³⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 10-2| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽³⁾| T: Cynthia Woods| OR: 68| C

28/1

Unreliable individual who has been pulled up on all 3 stars since finishing third over 3¼m here in May.

Form: 97-3PPP

Forecasts

Bensini (9/4), Zoran (3/1), Toad Of Toad Hall (4/1), No Worries (4/1), An Marcach (15/2), Auld Sod (28/1)

This looks a good opportunity for ZORAN to bounce back from a lesser run at Worcester and land a second win of the season. Bensini might be the one to give him most to do if taking to chasing at the first time of asking.
