Selected odds by:

Flash In The Park^t⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: C J Todd| T: C & A Pogson| OR: 98

7/1

Unreliable sort but he posted a good second of 6 in handicap chase at Southwell (15.8f, good) 4 days ago. Back up in trip and needs considering.

Form: 7P53-P2

Clean Getaway^p³¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Joe Williamson⁽³⁾| T: P A Kirby| OR: 96| C

9/1

Course winner who comes here on the back of a good second of 5 in handicap chase at Sedgefield (16.4f, firm, 9/2) 31 days ago. In the mix once more.

Form: 11145-2

Top Of The Bay^p,t¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-11| J: Tom Midgley⁽³⁾| T: S England| OR: 95

7/1

Scored at Carlisle in April and not disgraced back hurdling when fourth of 12 in handicap at Cartmel (17.2f, good to soft) 16 days ago. Much respected back in this sphere.

Form: P221-94

We Got Your Back⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: B S Hughes| T: L Morgan| OR: 90| BF

9/2

A dual chase winner after Christmas and he has continued in good form, third of 6 at Southwell (15.8f, good) 4 days ago when unsuited by emphasis on speed. Not ruled out now back up in trip.

Form: 1522-23

Greenrock Abbey^p⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 10-12| J: S Bowen| T: James Owen| OR: 82| BF

4/5

It's now 16 runs since his last win in 2023 but he shaped encouragingly for his new yard (formerly with Kerry Lee) when third of 10 in handicap chase at Worcester (20f, good to soft) 6 days ago, left poorly placed. Big shout.

Form: 4564-43

Forecasts

Greenrock Abbey (4/5), We Got Your Back (9/2), Top Of The Bay (7/1), Flash In The Park (7/1), Clean Getaway (9/1)

None of these can be ruled out but GREENROCK ABBEY is fancied to build on an encouraging start for James Owen and end a long losing run at the chief expense of in-form duo We Got Your Back and Clean Getaway.
