10/3

Fairly useful hurdler and confirmed previous promise over fences when winning novices' handicap at Ludlow (20.1f, good) in October 2023. Restricted to just 3 runs since and nowhere near that level. Still commands respect given yard he represents.

Age: 12| Weight: 12-0| J: James Bowen| T: F Brennan| OR: 130

5/1

Useful chaser in his pomp for Henry de Bromhead and proved that plenty of ability remains on second start for this yard when runner-up at Exeter in March. Didn't get very far at Haydock (early tack issue and unseated rider) but back on song when second from out of the weights at Newton Abbot.

Form: 1P/P2U-2

4/1

Held off subsequent Great Yorkshire winner Docpickedme by a neck at Doncaster in December. Made a better fist of things than being pulled up might suggest at Kempton next time but harder to excuse latest Aintree run.

Dalyotin^p,t1⁷⁰⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 10-13| J: Nathan Moscrop| T: R Menzies| OR: 115| D

14/1

Off the mark over fences at Sedgefield (21f) in March, 2022, but pulled up when last seen out in claiming chase at Clairefontaine (19.4f, soft) the following June. In good hands but well-being has to be taken on trust.

Captain Ivan^p,t³⁷

Age: 11| Weight: 10-10| J: Craig Nichol| T: Ewan Whillans| OR: 112

4/1

Struck at the fourth time of asking for the Ewan Whillans yard when seeing off 4 rivals at Market Rasen (19f) in February and confirmed he's back on the up with cheekpieces on when adding to tally at Haydock last month. 3 lb rise could be lenient.

Form: 754121-

High Moon^p,t²³

Age: 10| Weight: 10-4| J: B S Hughes| T: R Menzies| OR: 106

3/1

Over 2 years since last win and failed to get the job done after trading odds on in-running for the fourth time last season at Kelso last month. Failed to fire at Uttoxeter 3 weeks ago and cheekpieces are back on.

Form: 54F53-3

Forecasts

High Moon (3/1), Rexem (10/3), Charlie Uberalles (4/1), Captain Ivan (4/1), Spyglass Hill (5/1), Dalyotin (14/1)

CAPTAIN IVAN is firmly into the veteran stage of his career but he's been revived by the re-application of cheekpieces of late and he remains on a very workable mark. Spyglass Hill is a danger to all if keeping the errors down, with Remex of some interest down in class.
