Great D'Ange (G)
[V1T]
Untrustworthy sort who came in last of 5 on yard debut over hurdles at Newton Abbot in September and failed to complete over fences at Chepstow since. Best watched.
|
Tom Broughton | A Gibbons | 9 | 76.2 kg |

50/1

Move With The Beat (G)
Multiple point winner who shaped better than distance beaten, on yard debut, when fifth of 10 in handicap chase at Exeter (24.2f, good to soft, 10/1) 23 days ago, doing too much too soon. May well do better.

Joe Anderson | Jamie Snowden | 6 | 74.8 kg |

Call Me Arthur (G)
[T]
Southwell hurdle winner who disappointed on chase debut at Worcester 14 months ago and hasn't been seen since.

Stan Sheppard | T Lacey | 6 | 73.9 kg |

Steady The Ship (G)
[P1]
Not scored for over 3 years and ran poorly at Southwell on yard debut last month. Cheekpieces on first time. Hard to fancy.
|
Benjamin Poste | S Cameron | 9 | 72.1 kg |

| 2nd | 5 | — |
Cornish Comedy (G)
Readily brushed aside sole start in bumpers for Mel Rowley and hasn't achieved much in 4 starts over hurdles for this yard. Work to do on switch to chasing.
|
Charlie Price | R L Llewellyn | 5 | 70.3 kg |

12/1

| 1st | 6 | — |
Kingcormac (G)
Sole success came over C&D back in 2023 and has largely disappointed since. Returns from 9 months off with something to prove.
|
Callum Pritchard | J Tickle | 9 | 68.9 kg |
8.50

Sweet Nightingale (M)
[T]
Modest winner at 18f over hurdles who made the frame again in this sphere when creditable third of 8 in handicap chase at Wincanton (20.2f, good, 10/1) 20 days ago. Ought to give another good account.
|
Rex Dingle | P Gundry | 8 | 68.5 kg |

| 6th | 8 | — |
Jack Doyen (G)
[B]
C&D winner who made the frame all 4 starts last term. Back from 11 months off when coming down 4 out at Southwell (20.4f, good to soft) 15 days ago, too far out to suggest outcome. This run should reveal more.
|
J M Quinlan | B I Case | 9 | 67.6 kg |

Danny's Friend (G)
FAV
Promising individual who posted a career best when winning 8-runner handicap chase at this course (16f, good) 15 days ago, easily. 8 lb higher now but remains with potential.
|
Jack Tudor | Christian Williams | 6 | 67.6 kg |

| 3rd | 10 | — |
Martalmix'jac (G)
[TP]
May have needed outing, back from 6 months off, when last of 7 in handicap hurdle (14/1) at Leicester (20.5f, soft) 23 days ago. Dropped 3 lb since, returned to chasing, but others are more convincing.
|
Toby Wynne | Mrs M Rowley | 8 | 67.1 kg |

Boys Of Wexford (G)
[P]
Posted best effort for some time when second at Fontwell (19.5f) last month. Lost his rider early on at Huntingdon since and warrants respect here.
|
James Davies | Henry Oliver | 8 | 66.7 kg |

Noah's Light (G)
[TP]
Bounced back to form when winning 5-runner handicap chase at Plumpton (19.8f, soft) 51 days ago, kept up to work. This looks more competitive but he can't be ruled out.
|
Harry Kimber | Mrs R Ford | 8 | 66.2 kg |

Dark Soldier (G)
[T1]
Runner-up in a maiden point but no show under Rules, including behind Danny's Friend here last month. Tongue strap on first time. Readily opposed.
|
Finn Lambert | Sheila Lewis | 6 | 65.8 kg |

Est Illic (G)
[P]
Temperamental sort. Not scored since 2020 and hasn't been seen since a poor run at Worcester 18 months ago. NON RUNNER.
