Selected odds by:

Carrigmoorna Rowan^t²⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: J J Burke| T: H Fry| OR: 108

9/2

Fair winner at 21f over hurdles. Below that form when fifth of 11 in handicap chase (12/1) at Uttoxeter (24f, good to soft) on debut over fences 26 days ago but can take a step forward now.

Form: 31-F565

God's Own Getaway⁵¹

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Tristan Durrell⁽³⁾| T: D Skelton| OR: 108| D

7/1

Winless since last May and he came in last of 4 in handicap chase at Market Rasen (17.2f, good) 51 days ago. Needs to bounce back.

Form: 254544

Abingworth²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-13| J: Caoilin Quinn| T: G & J Moore| OR: 107| D

9/2

Jumped better than usual when resuming winning ways in 7-runner handicap chase at Wincanton (20.2f, good) 24 days ago. Scored easily there so he's not taken lightly despite a 9 lb weights hike.

Form: U46P31

Flash Gorcombe^t³⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Harry Kimber| T: R Walford| OR: 106| D

33/1

Gained his fourth chase win of his career when wide-margin winner at Exeter (heavy) on New Year's Day. That remains his standout effort this season, however.

Form: 8-71555

Davidoc^t³⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: Ben Jones| T: B Pauling| OR: 105| BF

13/2

A fair 2m winner over hurdles but he has failed to progress over fences, only third of 5 in handicap chase at Fontwell (17.8f, good, 7/4) 38 days ago. Others appeal more.

Form: 232543

Oakley Dancer^p1⁷⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-11| J: Mr James King⁽³⁾| T: R Waley-Cohen| OR: 105

150/1

Won a couple of novice hurdles in the spring of 2023 for Olly Murphy but pulled up on her yard debut in 2m4f handicap chase at Leicester in February.

Form: 1323-PP

Kayce Dutton²⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: R T Dunne| T: C & A Pogson| OR: 105

3/1

Yet to score for his current yard but he is knocking on the door, second of 9 in handicap chase at Stratford (19.4f, good to soft) 26 days ago. Up 2 lb but he's expected to be bang there.

Form: 522722

Rangatira Jack²²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: Sean Houlihan| T: Miss L Blackford| OR: 100

5/1

Gained his breakthrough success with a career best in 8-runner handicap chase at Exeter (19.2f, good) 22 days ago, going with enthusiasm. Has a 7 lb higher mark to overcome now but he must enter calculations.

Form: 0P5421

Grillon De Monty¹¹

Age: 10| Weight: 10-12| J: Jamie Brace⁽⁵⁾| T: Stephen Allen| OR: 92

100/1

Winner of 3 cross-country chases in France and hurdles winner for Dan Skelton but he has shown litte in 4 starts for his current yard after 20 months off.

Form: 63-PP5P

Gladiatus²⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 10-2| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽³⁾| T: R Rowe| OR: 80

10/1

Still a maiden but he posted a good third of 7 to Abingworth in handicap chase at Wincanton (20.2f, good) 24 days ago, despie making mistakes. Can make his presence felt despite being 2 lb "wrong" in the weights.

Form: 8P/5-P43

Forecasts

Kayce Dutton (3/1), Abingworth (9/2), Carrigmoorna Rowan (9/2), Rangatira Jack (5/1), Davidoc (13/2), God's Own Getaway (7/1), Gladiatus (10/1), Flash Gorcombe (33/1), Grillon De Monty (100/1), Oakley Dancer (150/1)

A tight-knit handicap in which KAYCE DUTTON is taken to gain a deserved win on the back of a run of good efforts. Abingworth rates a big danger though on the back of his Wincanton success with Exeter victor Rangatira Jack also firmly in the picture. In-form maiden Gladiatus completes the shortlist.
