EXPERT VIEW

A quick way to see a horse’s past performance. These are its recent ﬁnishing positions.

How the experts rate the horse’s chances:

Look out for Letters: C = Has won at this course D = Has won over this distance CD = Has won over this distance at this course BF = Was a beaten favourite

2. BHA rating = the higher the number, the better the horse. 3. Timeform view and TFR rating 4. HORSE’S TRAINER & THEIR LOCATION Look out for the summary of leading course trainers before each race.

MORE INFORMATION ON THE FORM

5. JOCKEY

- = New racing season / = Missed racing season P = Was pulled-up and didn’t finish the race F = Horse fell U = Rider unseated R = Horse refused to race CO = The horse was forced out of a race by a loose horse B = Horse was brought down S = Horse slipped r = The horse ran around a jump or took the wrong course in a flat race d = Disqualified Bold form figures = performance in all-weather (Flat) or Point-to-Point (Jump) races

PLAY SMARTER

DIABLE DE SIVOLA shaped as if in good form for a long way on his reappearance (had breathing op in interim) in the Southern National at Fontwell last month, getting very tired over the marathon trip late on. This drop back in trip is sure to suit and he should go very close. My Way rates as the main danger if he’s given a slightly more patient ride than at Wincanton, with Igor another to note.

PLAY SMARTER

EARLY DU LEMO opened his chase account in good style at Lingﬁeld in January 2019 and, whilst his subsequent absence is an obvious worry, he could be worth chancing to hit the ground running operating from the same mark. Dandolo du Gite remains with potential as a chaser and should be sharper for his return, whilst Rough Night and Finnegan’s Garden complete the shortlist.

PLAY SMARTER

Some interesting young chasers line up here but it’s impossible to oppose FUNAMBULE SIVOLA who really took off on his chasing bow when a most impressive winner at Wetherby and should prove hard to beat under a 7lb penalty. Morning Vicar is another chaser with a lot of better days ahead of him so is fancied to chase home Venetia Williams’ improver, with Alnadam and Top Man much respected too.

Last year’s contest ended with a thrilling battle up the hill between the Paul Nicholls-trained Enrilo and Paul Webber’s House Island, with Enrilo emerging victorious by a hard-earned three-quarters of a length. House Island had led the ﬁeld for much of the race, but was headed by Happygolucky as they turned for home. House Island battled back and got the better of that rival by the second last, but soon found himself ﬁghting another battle, with Enrilo staying on up his inside. The pair jumped the last in unison, but Enrilo produced the better leap and despite House Island’s brave efforts, he couldn’t reel NIcholls’ charge back in at the line.

TRAINED BY ALAN KING

TODAY’S RUNNERS STAR GATE This Evan Williams-trained four-year-old may be three years younger than his main market rival, Sending Love, but what he lacks in age, he could well make up for in talent. He bolted up in exciting style at Chepstow on his hurdling debut, defeating a talented sort in the shape of Everglow, and could be extremely smart for his well-known owners, Mr & Mrs William Rucker.

HHHHH SENDING LOVE

ANY NEWS

An impressive winner on his last start at Ffos Las in November, the Paul Nicholls-trained seven-year-old looks a smart stayer in the making. He’ll relish any rain that fallas and will be staying on strongly up the hill.

Already a two-time winner this season, once in a Bumper at Exeter and then on his ﬁrst run over hurdles at Bangor, Neil Mulholland’s ﬁve-year-old has done everything right so far and could take the step up to Graded level in his stride.

HHHH

VALLERES

PRESS YOUR LUCK

An easy winner on his hurdling debut at Wetherby, this Alan King-trained ﬁveyear-old certainly ﬁts the bill. The son of Coastal Path was, however, beaten next time out at Ludlow by a smart prospect, so he’ll have to bounce back here.

Chris Gordon’s ﬁve-year-old certainly knows how to win already with two novice hurdle victories to his name this season and this step up in trip could help draw out the improvement he needs to be competitive at this higher level.
