13/2

Largely consistent performer who opened his account for the season when making most at Fontwell (17.8f) on Boxing Day. Excellent second at Hereford next time but last 2 starts were poor. Off 6 months.

General Medrano¹⁶²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: Miss E C Lavelle| OR: 118

11/8

Showed promise both starts in bumpers and much improved over hurdles when winning a Fontwell maiden in February. Solid start to his handicap career when hitting the frame last 2 starts and will make a chaser.

Bubble Dubi¹⁸³

11/10

Belatedly put it all together as he justified strong support in 2m Stratford handicap in March. Good third at Haydock final start and will make a better chaser.

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Theo Gillard| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 115

12/1

Landed a pair of novice hurdles in 2022. Could manage only fourth on his Catterick chase debut on return last season but almost certainly would have won at Musselburgh since but for unseating at the last. Did plenty wrong when pulled up at Ayr in January final start.

Forecasts

Bubble Dubi (11/10), General Medrano (11/8), Only Money (3/1), Master Dancer (5/1), Rose Sea Has (13/2), Masked Crusader (12/1)

ONLY MONEY has hinted at a return to form and is worth another chance off his reduced mark having got no further than the first at Plumpton 2 weeks ago. Bubble Dubi and General Medrano will both make chasers so need considering, too.
