Mole Court^p¹⁵⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Ben Jones| T: B Pauling| OR: 120| D

7/2

Made a superb start to his chasing career, completing a four-timer in 19-runner handicap chase at Cheltenham in October. Very much shaped as if still in form next time and returns from 5 months off with his potential still intact. Big player.

El Rio³¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-13| J: David Bass| T: K Bailey & M Nicholls| OR: 119

11/2

Point winner who opened his account over hurdles at Ascot last year. Yet to build on that this term but switch to chasing could bring about a bigger performance.

Form: 1F1-7P6

Glencassley⁴⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: R P McLernon| T: C E Longsdon| OR: 118| D

11/2

Fairly useful in bumpers and landed back-to-back novice events in 2021. Lightly raced since but made a successful debut over fences in 4-runner handicap at Hereford (20.9f, soft) 47 days ago, jumping well. Can do better still. Player.

Form: 63F4/2-1

Touchy Feely²⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: James Bowen| T: N J Henderson| OR: 117

10/1

Dual hurdles winner who was in the process of bettering her chasing debut when falling at Wincanton a month ago, looking sure to be placed. Could feature if none the worse for that.

Form: 115-4PF

Pearly Island^p²⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-6| J: Tom Cannon| T: L Wadham| OR: 112| CD

11/2

Upped his game to score here in March and seemed unsuited by the drop in trip/quicker ground at Plumpton next time. This looks more suitable and he can't be dismissed.

Form: P53213

Eyed^t⁴³

Age: 7| Weight: 10-11| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: P R Webber| OR: 103| CD

2/1

Fair winner at 20f over hurdles. Easily best effort to date over fences when 1½ lengths second of 10 to Pearly Island in handicap chase (8/1) at this C&D (soft) 43 days ago, clear of rest. Respected.

Form: 13-8462

Forecasts

Eyed (2/1), Mole Court (7/2), Pearly Island (11/2), Glencassley (11/2), El Rio (11/2), Touchy Feely (10/1)

MOLE COURT wasn't seen to best effect at Cheltenham when last seen 5 months ago but he'd been highly progressive as a chaser prior to that and looks capable of getting back on the up now freshened up. Glencassley is an obvious threat on the back of a successful chasing debut and Touchy Feely isn't without hope.
