RACE RESULT DISTANCES

SIZING POTTSIE has undergone wind surgery since he was last seen in action in the Topham Chase at Aintree in April. He’s also made the switch to join David Pipe’s yard in Devon and it’s notable that this classy gelding travels this distance to make his first start of the current campaign. His hurdles rating of 143 sets a clear and impressive standard for a race like this and he’s very much the one to beat. Sanosuke and Jet Legs can chase him home.

toteeachway: Money For Jam

In a wide-open event the marginal preference is for THAT’S YOUR LOTTIE, who arrives here on the back of two encouraging fourth-placed finishes at Kelso. A reproduction of either of those efforts today would give her a big chance. Money For Jam showed promise on his handicap bow in April and he has to be of some interest on his return to action. Others to note are Glory, Spanish Hustle and Warriors Story. totewin: That’s Your Lottie

RACE RESULT DISTANCES

The Nicky Richards stable has had a fine start to the new jumps campaign and TFOU could be one to continue that trend on his return to action. The son of Authorized was a highly-creditable third over C&D in April and with improvement expected, he can get the better of Fever Roque, who has not been seen since finishing runner-up here in January. Toucan Sam has potential over this trip, while Oishin cannot be ruled out either.

NELLS SON was last seen finishing a distant fourth behind Three Stripe Life in a competitive Grade 1 at Aintree in April, but saw off the well-fancied North Lodge in a Grade 2 hurdle at Kelso the time before. He makes his chasing debut off top-weight, but his hurdling efforts offered plenty of encouragement and he could make a positive switch to bigger obstacles. Since Day One should not be discounted given the stable he represents, while Corrieben Reiver is respected as he drops in trip.

RACE RESULT DISTANCES

THE QUESTIONER was a progressive sort towards the end of last season and recent outings suggest that he may be about to regain the winning thread, despite being turned over as a short-priced favourite at Southwell last month. Hoganville impressed on his stable debut at Hexham and a 6lb rise may not be enough to prevent him from having a major say once more. Moonacura and Your Place are capable of being in the shake-up as well.

RACE RESULT DISTANCES

MAGIC WAVE has made a pleasing start to his racing career and filled the runner-up spot on both starts earlier this year. He progressed to be denied victory by a head when last seen in April over this course and distance and can build on that, despite a 205-day layoff. Diablo Loch and Artic Row have both shown promise in previous contests and are others to bear in mind.
