Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: Callum Pritchard⁽⁵⁾| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 115

6/5

Held form well over hurdles last season without winning and returns to chasing off a potentially handy mark. Could be the answer in first-time headgear.

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: Philip Armson⁽³⁾| T: M C Chapman| OR: 105| C

25/1

Fairly useful handicap chaser at best but largely out of sorts last season for Nick Kent and plenty to prove on first start for another different yard.

Form: P/P4P40-

How And Ever^p,t⁸⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: G Sheehan| T: O Signy| OR: 103| CD

11/8

Lightly-raced 7-y-o who made a successful handicap bow over hurdles at Fontwell 15 months ago. Pulled up next 3 starts, including first 2 starts over fences, but bounced back with a bang switched to front-running tactics when scoring at Southwell 12 weeks ago. Player with a repeat off 4 lb higher.

Form: 31P/PP1-

Always Busy⁷⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Jack Tudor| T: Christian Williams| OR: 103

9/2

Career best when easily winning 10-runner handicap chase at Warwick in January. However, failed to fire next 2 starts so needs to bounce back.

Forecasts

High Game Royal (6/5), How And Ever (11/8), Camino Rocio (11/4), Always Busy (9/2), Swapped (25/1)

HIGH GAME ROYAL is hard to win with but he's potentially on a fair mark returned to chasing and first-time headgear may help, too. How And Ever made all over C&D 3 months ago and is feared most despite his all-or-nothing profile.
