L'Empire Vert

Brendan Powell Sheila Lewis

4P821- Draw 0 OR 97 RPR 104 TS 91 +81.3% EV +9.9% Edge Data 91%

Second career win when making pretty much all here last month (2m3f, good to soft); effectively 9lb higher as a 3lb claimer was employed last time, while stamina for this far is unproven; still needs a second look given current wellbeing.

Sawpit Samantha

Benjamin Macey(5) Jo Davis

/0P38- Draw 0 OR 74 RPR 96 TS 48 +-31.7% EV +-0.4% Edge Data 82%

0-14 over hurdles and has finished ahead of one rival in his two chase starts; more new headgear tried from 6lb out of the weights.

Jack's A Legend

Miss Imogen Mathias(7) Tim Vaughan

P/133- Draw 0 OR 95 RPR 107 TS 88 +3.3% EV +1.0% Edge Data 64%

Point/hurdle winner; only his third run over fences when beaten 3.25l at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good to soft) and he clouted the second last; considered.

Of Corse I Can

Bradley Harris(3) Neil Mulholland

11456- Draw 0 OR 75 RPR 105 TS 85 +-40.9% EV +-2.4% Edge Data 64%

Won two 3m2f handicap chases in October but went a bit cold afterwards and he's back from a lengthy break here.

Loki's Mischief

Lorcan Williams Chester Williams

3/2P2- Draw 0 OR 100 RPR 0 TS 0 +-63.0% EV +-15.8% Edge Data 82%

Placed over hurdles and again on his chase debut at Exeter when fitted in a first-time hood; that aid is missing here but stepping up from 2m3f looks favourable.

Ben Jones Rebecca Curtis

33P15- Draw 0 OR 99 RPR 0 TS 0 +128.4% EV +16.5% Edge Data 82%

Goes well here, gaining fourth course success with a narrow verdict in March (2m3f, soft); beaten 8l behind L'Empire Vert off this 4lb higher mark on his return visit but he was held up in a race that favoured those ridden handier; good chance.

James Bowen Barry John Murphy

66135- Draw 0 OR 95 RPR 0 TS 0 +-6.8% EV +0.6% Edge Data 82%

Stable debut when winning a 2m4f hurdle here in March (soft) but hasn't built on that, albeit after going up 7lb; remains to be seen what he'll make of fences.

/11P8- Draw 0 OR 92 RPR 0 TS 0 +-69.9% EV +-4.9% Edge Data 82%

Two good-ground wins during the winter but nothing positive to take from his last two races and the weather forecast doesn't bode well.

1-19 overall, though the win did come over fences; however, hasn't fired for a while, despite attracting market support on his return to hurdles last time.

9lb out of the weights when not beaten far at Warwick 12 days ago (2m4f, good); 1lb lower here but rain would scupper his chance.

1-14 as a chaser; won at Stratford in September (2m6f, good) and fair efforts since then; can go well if fitness isn't an issue on first run since October.
