Ballycamus³³

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: Toby McCain-Mitchell⁽³⁾| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 122| D

5/1

Resumed winning ways in a 5-runner Windsor handicap (24.2f, good to soft) in December. Struggled back at the same course last month but the return to a small-field scenario may help and his rider boasts a good strike rate when partnering chasers.

Form: 22-531P

Back On The Lash^p²⁸

Age: 11| Weight: 11-11| J: Freddie Keighley⁽⁷⁾| T: M Keighley| OR: 119| CD

10/1

Dual Cross-Country winner at Cheltenham who returned to form when third back there in November. However, his record is distinctly patchy and while he wasn't disgraced with cheekpieces refitted at Catterick last time, others make more appeal.

Form: 8-P03U3

Champagne Mystery^h1,t⁹⁴

Age: 11| Weight: 11-10| J: Mr Tommie M O'Brien| T: T R George| OR: 118

20/1

Campaigned primarily in France in recent years. Well held in a trio of Auteuil handicap chases during the autumn but he's dangerous to discount returned to these shores on a potentially handy mark.

Form: 53F-700

Kelce^p⁵⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: Miss Gina Andrews| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 115| BF| D

1/1

Much improved switched to fences with cheekpieces applied, easily getting off the mark in handicap at Market Rasen (3m, soft) in December. Looked booked for second when falling at the last at same course last time and another bold show likely.

Form: 8-P221F

Supervisor⁹

Age: 11| Weight: 11-7| J: Miss Lucy Turner| T: Miss V Williams| OR: 115| CD

4/1

Twice a winner last season, including over this C&D, and returned with a solid performance when runner-up in 4-runner event at Warwick (3m, soft) in December. Parted company with his rider at the first fence at Plumpton recently but will have a chance granted a clear round back here.

Form: 2416-2U

Balkardy^p¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-3| J: Miss Eleanor Williams⁽⁷⁾| T: Evan Williams| OR: 111| D

7/1

Landed handicap chase at Stratford in October but generally below par since and needs to bounce back.

Form: P-15377

Forecasts

Kelce (1/1), Supervisor (4/1), Ballycamus (5/1), Balkardy (7/1), Back On The Lash (10/1), Champagne Mystery (20/1)

It's easy to forgive the usually reliable BALLYCAMUS for a below-par display at Windsor last month and he can provide Toby McCain-Mitchell with another winning ride in this sphere. Kelce has done little wrong over fences this season and he rates the main danger ahead of Champagne Mystery.
