Calimystic (G)
FAV
Lightly-raced 7-y-o who has really impressed since sent chasing, bagging handicaps at Newbury (beat 4 next-time-out winners) in December and Sandown in March, jumping well each time. Up another 6 lb but fancied to maintain his unbeaten rec…

Loughderg Rocco (G)
[PT1]
Forged clear on second chase start in a 2½m Leicester novice back in December 2023 for L J Morgan. However, missed the following 2 seasons but shaped as if retaining ability on second run after the absence at Ffos Las last time, just weake…

Erne River (G)
[PT]
Winless since December 2023 but shaped reasonably well when fourth in a veterans' event at Doncaster in February. Not in same form against younger rivals at Kelso since and others are preferred.

Fortunedefortunata (G)
[P]
Back to form on second start for new yard when third of 11 in handicap chase at Haydock (3½m, good) last month but rather typically failed to back that up at Perth 3 weeks ago. Unreliable type looks hard to fancy.

Bumpy Evans (G)
[P1]
Signed off time with Tim Vaughan by recording a 4-timer and also tasted victory on second start for this yard at Warwick in September. Ran creditably after a 6-month break when third at Newton Abbot last time but gave trouble before refusi…

Regarde (G)
[PT]
Has a good record fresh and he ran up to his best after 5 months off when second of 11 in handicap chase at Haydock (3½m, good, 17/2) 30 days ago. Place claims again.

Jacks Parrot (G)
[BT]
Thorough stayer was in good nick without winning in 2025/26, third in the Tommy Whittle at Haydock (3¼m) in December and again shaping with encouragement when filling the same position at that same C&D last month. Might find this test on t…

Aboutdamntime (G)
[PT]
Registered a second chase success away from bottomless ground at Ludlow (3m) in February and ran well with the benefit of a good position when runner-up at Kelso the following month. Considered again.

My Bobby Dazzler (G)
Not the most reliable but ended a long losing run in 7-runner veterans handicap chase at Hereford (25f) in February and rather encouragingly backed that up with a fast-finishing second in an 11-runner handicap at Haydock (3¼m, good) in Apr…

Taxus Baccata (M)
[T]
Flourished for her new yard after a breathing operation (also tongue tied), winning in small fields at Leicester and Wincanton in March. Possibly found race coming too soon after just 12 days off when only third of 4 at Huntingdon last tim…
