14:10 – Soul Icon
Just the three runners but it’s a good-quality novice handicap chase to open the card.
If Keiran Burke’s second-season novice SOUL ICON is in the same form as when causing a surprise against more seasoned handicappers in the Desert Orchid at Kempton over Christmas, he might be able to give the weight away.
14:40 – Good And Clever
Warren Greatrex’s GOOD AND CLEVER has acquitted himself well in Grade 1 company this season so looks to face a straightforward task back in ordinary maiden company here after finishing third behind next week’s Supreme hotpot Kopek des Bordes at Leopardstown last time.
In Limbo also has his sights lowered after struggling in very testing conditions at Sandown last time and could prove the pick of the rest ahead of Wincanton third It’s A Breeze.
15:10 – King Of The Lake
If Jeremy Scott’s KING OF THE LAKE can cope with the drop back in trip to two miles he should prove hard to beat off the same mark as when winning by ten lengths at Newbury last Friday and complete a hat-trick under conditional Chad Bament who takes 7 lb off his back again.
Imaginarium made a successful start to his handicap hurdle career at Huntingdon last month and is second choice ahead of Paso Doble who was runner-up at Taunton on his second start back from an absence.
15:45 – Largy Force
Recent Leicester runner-up LARGY FORCE rates the pick of these weights after that effort behind It’s Easy in a mares’ event, so is fancied to gain a deserved breakthrough victory and complete a double on the card for Warren Greatrex at the chief expense of the consistent Hatos.
Course-and-distance winner Joe Cotton and Haas Boy, who ran his best race over fences when third over course and distance last time, both need factoring into this open handicap too.
16:20 – Shot Boii
A few of these arrive with question marks against them, so this looks a good opportunity for SHOT BOII to capitalise on a lenient mark, resume winning ways for David Pipe, and carry the colours of the race sponsors.
Lightonthewing came back to form from out of the blue when winning back over hurdles at Chepstow last month and appeals as the chief threat back over fences ahead of last year’s victor Bampton Star.
16:50 – Jacksbar
Having shown much improved form when getting off the mark at the sixth time of asking, JACKSBAR may be able to follow up that Uttoxeter victory for Dan Skelton if in the same sort of form three months on.
The biggest threat may come from Sweet Caryline who is also lightly raced and has proved she can mix it at this level. Nobody’s Perfect showed some promise two starts ago and despite not running up to form last time, she has a chance if she can bounce back.
17:22 – All Inn Hand
ALL INN HAND shaped encouragingly when staying on over an inadequate trip at Warwick last time and, now facing a greater test of stamina, he makes plenty of each-way appeal with Sean Bowen taking over in the saddle.
River Voyage will face quicker conditions but warrants plenty of respect due to his facile Ffos Las success, while the versatile Coconut Twist merits consideration following another creditable effort at Chepstow last month.
