Selected odds by:

Aubis Walk²²

Age: 8| Weight: 12-2| J: Sean Quinlan| T: N G Richards| OR: 122| CD

5/2

Winner over hurdles earlier this year but left that form well behind when taking 6-runner handicap chase over C&D (soft) on debut over fences 22 days ago, comfortably. Likely more to come yet.

Form: 2/2F1P-1

Ballycoose²²

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: D A Jacob| T: S R B Crawford| OR: 120| C

13/8

Posted his best effort yet when good second of 11 in handicap hurdle (3/1) at this course (20.4f, soft) 22 days ago, clear of rest. Tries larger obstacles now and is not taken lightly.

Form: P439/42

Grain D'oudairies²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: B S Hughes| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 113| BF

15/2

Well below best at Ffos Las latest but had won 2 of his 4 starts over timber prior to that and warrants respect on chase debut.

Form: 3/14-215

Chapel Green³⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: S Mulqueen| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 112

10/1

Fair winner over hurdles who made a successful chase debut at Hexham in October. However, rather gone backwards since and looked beaten when falling late on at Wetherby last time. Tries longer trip now.

Form: 042-15F

Travail D'Orfevre^t²⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 10-13| J: Danny McMenamin| T: N W Alexander| OR: 105| C

4/1

Off the mark in this sphere when landing Carlisle handicap (15.9f) in October and ran to similar level when second at Hexham (15.6f, heavy, 7/2) 20 days ago. Ought to give another good account.

Form: P233-12

Forecasts

Ballycoose (13/8), Aubis Walk (5/2), Travail D'Orfevre (4/1), Grain D'oudairies (15/2), Chapel Green (10/1)

AUBIS WALK wasted no time proving herself a much better chaser than hurdler here last month and should have more to offer yet. She can score again. Chase-debutant Ballycoose may provide the chief threat.
