Young Wolf^p1⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 11-12| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 98| D

3/1

Took advantage of his reduced mark at Market Rasen in August. Operating a little below that level since but claims if first-time cheekpieces to perk him up.

Form: 5-41354

Galop Du Bosc^v¹⁷⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: Alan Johns| T: Tim Vaughan| OR: 95

9/2

Lost his form towards the end of last season but has won fresh before and handicapper has given him a chance, so he's not one to write off.

Form: 792FPP-

Braganza Bay^p¹⁵⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: R Patrick| T: H D Daly| OR: 93| C| D

4/1

Pair of handicap hurdle wins last season, including here. Switches to fences back from 5 months off. Claims if taking to this new discipline.

Form: 1801U-6

Cobra Commander¹⁵¹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-1| J: Benjamin Poste| T: T Symonds| OR: 87

18/1

Showed improved form when winning brace of handicap chases in spring 2022 but has drawn a blank since. Has his first outing for 164 days here.

Form: 55P4-6V

Ballinoulart^p¹⁸⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-10| J: J J Burke| T: A Ralph| OR: 82

7/4

Low-mileage sort who was third in a pair of 3m handicap chases in the spring. Reappears in an ordinary race and a bold show is likely.

Form: 4P7033-

Carapaz^p,t¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: Harry Bannister| T: David Dennis| OR: 69

12/1

Poor form, although he was keeping on in third when unseating at the last at Huntingdon (3m) 14 days ago. 5 lb out of the handicap here.

Form: 7P865U

Forecasts

Ballinoulart (7/4), Tommydan (11/4), Young Wolf (3/1), Braganza Bay (4/1), Galop Du Bosc (9/2), Carapaz (12/1), Cobra Commander (18/1)

BALLINOULART has a much less exposed profile than most of these and looks worth siding with on his reappearance. Young Wolf is back to just 1 lb higher than when successful at Market Rasen in August and could pose the chief threat if reacting well to first-time headgear.
