Immortal Fame (G)
FAV
[P]
Thrived back over fences last term, completing a hat-trick. Had slipped back down to last successful mark when resuming winning ways in determined fashion at Market Rasen 3 weeks ago. First 2 came clear of the third that day so 3 lb rise i…

Tiger Orchid (G)
[P]
Three-time winner over fences at Worcester but he's not the most fluent of jumpers and losing run is mounting up. Has left Dr Richard Newland & Jamie Insole.

Pats Fancy (G)
[B1]
Hasn't shown much in recent seasons and predictably struggled from out of the handicap in the Welsh National at Chepstow last time. Back in much calmer waters now but change of headgear still needs to spark a revival.

My Bobby Dazzler (G)
Fairly useful at best but on a long losing run, mainly over hurdles. Reluctant returned to fences at Market Rasen but behaved himself when third at Catterick 5 days later, needing the emphasis more on stamina. Others more solid.

Not Sure (G)
[P]
Runner-up 3 of last 4 starts. Not given a hard time on at Ffos Las on return last month and duly built on that when second at Chepstow 9 days ago, giving best only to one currently thriving. Should be thereabouts once more.

The Jam Man (G)
Nineteen runs since last win in 2020 and little impact for current connections this season aften an absence.

Flowing Cadenza (M)
Easy back-to-back winner of handicap chases (both at around 25f) during 2022/23 campaign. Made the track only 5 times since but took step back in the right direction when second at Huntingdon last month. Yard staged a revival lately so ent…
