Age: 9| Weight: 12-0| J: Callum Pritchard⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs D A Hamer| OR: 110| CD

3/1

Thrived last summer, completing a Newton Abbot 4-timer over fences in September. Form has nosedived since but probably needed his comeback run last week and return to this venue is a positive.

Form: 127P8-5

Diol Ker⁵⁴

Age: 11| Weight: 11-11| J: Osian Radford⁽¹⁰⁾| T: Evan Williams| OR: 107

18/1

Useful chaser at his best for Noel Meade/Gordon Elliott in Ireland but has struggled for current yard this season, again failing to see things out at Ffos Las last time. Others preferred.

Form: P6P655-

Belgarum^p,t²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: Freddie Gingell| T: J Tizzard| OR: 103

4/1

Did well last summer, notching up a third success with a wide-margin victory at Plumpton in September. Lost his way a bit after but made a promising comeback when fourth at Plumpton last month. Stamina is the concern.

Form: 11P544-

Dancingontheedge^t¹⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-3| J: H Cobden| T: P F Nicholls| OR: 99| BF| C

11/4

Smooth-travelling type who matched the pick of her hurdles form when a promising third on chase debut here (21f) in September. Decent second back over hurdles at Chepstow on comeback last month and remains of interest back chasing.

Form: 512432-

Unspeakable^t³⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-4| J: Jack Tudor| T: Christian Williams| OR: 86

2/1

Made the most of a good opportunity when ending losing run at Taunton 5 weeks ago but opposable up 5 lb in much deeper race.

Forecasts

Unspeakable (2/1), Dancingontheedge (11/4), Hold Your Fort (3/1), Belgarum (4/1), Morfee (9/2), Inspiratrice (10/1), Diol Ker (18/1)

MORFEE was only just denied by a subsequent winner after travelling better from some way out at Market Rasen last month so has obvious claims off the same mark. Dancingontheedge shaped well on her comeback run at Chepstow and has potential back in this sphere after a promising debut here in September, so rates the main threat.
