17/2

Enjoyed an excellent season over fences last term, scoring three times, including over 21f here in February. Disappointed final start but probably best forgiven his reappearance run at Wetherby 24 days ago. Cheekpieces worn for all 4 career victories return here.

Form: 12113-P

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr Thomas Easterby⁽⁷⁾| T: T D Easterby| OR: 93

7/2

Belatedly off the mark at Wetherby (15f) in March, idling markedly flat and only just holding on. Similar form both starts since, latterly when fifth on return from 7 months off in a C&D handicap 3 weeks ago. Not out of things but he does need to be delivered late.

Form: 33715-5

Zuckerberg^p¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: Sean Quinlan| T: J Candlish| OR: 89| C

3/1

Dual winner over fences/on Flat late last year (including here). Form tailed off thereafter but clearly perked up by a 7-month break when second over C&D 19 days ago, headed run-in having made a mistake at the last. Possibilities if arriving in same form.

Form: 55556-2

Methusalar^t1⁴⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: S Bowen| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 86| BF

3/1

Hurdles winner for Alan King (at 19.5f) in spring 2022. Not much to shout about since but did shape better than distance beaten suggests over fences at Worcester (23f) 47 days ago, shaping like a non-stayer. This test rates more suitable with tongue tie now fitted.

Form: 31-0P46

Glory^b,t¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-2| J: Nathan Moscrop| T: V Thompson| OR: 74

28/1

Point winner who has shown very little under Rules, well-beaten fourth of 7 in novices' handicap chase here 12 days ago.

Form: P224-P4

Ashjan^p,t¹⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 10-2| J: P W Wadge⁽³⁾| T: Miss S E Forster| OR: 73| C

9/1

Won 3 times over fences (twice around here). Recent efforts not all that inspiring but he may be sharper on the back of his comeback fourth over hurdles at Kelso (20.9f) 17 days ago. Comes here from career-low mark.

Form: P3P-PP4

Ingleby Mackenzie^p,t²⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 10-2| J: Craig Nichol| T: Ewan Whillans| OR: 73

13/2

Fair handicap chaser in Ireland for Henry de Bromhead and best effort for present stable when 7 lengths third of 8 in handicap chase at Musselburgh (15.8f) 3 weeks ago. Return to this longer trip may help on that evidence.

Form: 7-76653

Ocean's Of Money^p1¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 10-2| J: Shane Quinlan⁽³⁾| T: Mrs N S Evans| OR: 69

11/1

Remains a maiden and never threatened on the back of a wind op when sixth of 8 in handicap at Ffos Las (2m) 16 days ago. Steps back up in trip now with cheekpieces enlisted.

Form: 3-65566

Forecasts

Ballybeg Boss (2/1), Zuckerberg (3/1), Methusalar (3/1), Beat The Edge (7/2), Ingleby Mackenzie (13/2), Trac (17/2), Ashjan (9/1), Ocean's Of Money (11/1), Glory (28/1)

The majority of these hold few secrets but ex-pointer BALLYBEG BOSS, who displayed promise over hurdles last term, looks the type to do better in this sphere and could be the way to go on return/back up in trip. Zuckerberg returned with a good second over C&D 3 weeks ago and a repeat gives him claims. Beat The Edge and Methusalar are also worth a look.
