1 ROUGE DE L’QUEST

(IRE) (18) 7 11 12

B g Fame And Glory - What A Bleu (IRE)

Owner: Mark Sherwood & Francis Reid

Trainer: Rebecca Curtis, Newport

Breeder: JC South Farm Ltd

Sponsor: William Hill

Colours: MAROON and WHITE diabolo, WHITE sleeves, quartered cap. Form: 31-043

TIMEFORM VIEW Winning pointer who has offered definite promise on 2 of his 3 starts over hurdles, latterly when third in a Ffos Las maiden (20f) 18 days ago. Feasible to think he can do better now handicapping back up in trip

2 HORACIO APPLE’S (FR) (32) 6 11 11

Ch g Saddex - Apple’s Noa (FR)

Owner: Highclere TB Racing - Apple and Dudgeon

Trainer: Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero, Malpas

Breeder: D. Lumet, P. Coveliers & T. Cypres

Sponsor: Swansway

Colours: LIGHT BLUE, DARK BLUE armlets, DARK BLUE cap. Form: 445-331

TIMEFORM VIEW Fair form in bumpers and similar form over hurdles, off the mark at third attempt when landing a 21.4f Ayr handicap 32 days ago. Manner in which he saw the race out suggests this longer trip will hold no fears and he’s worth considering.

3 IMPERIAL B G (IRE) (33) 6 11 10

Gr g Getaway (GER) - Milan Pride (IRE)

Owner: Imperial Racing Partnership

Trainer: Nigel Twiston-Davies, Cheltenham

Breeder: William Neville

Sponsor: Agetur (UK) Ltd

Colours: BLACK, WHITE stars, striped sleeves, BLACK cap. Form: 531-436

TIMEFORM VIEW Fair bumper winner who has offered definite promise over hurdles, looking like finishing closer before tiring in the ground when sixth at Chepstow (19.5f) 33 days ago Eased 3lb subsequently and likely he can do better still. Up in trip

4 BASFORD (IRE) (12) 6 11 7

B g Soldier of Fortune (IRE) - Be My Present

Owner: Brian Verinder & Alan Baxter

Trainer: Jennie Candlish, Leek

Breeder: James Gill

Sponsor: Pra World Ltd

Colours: WHITE, RED sash, WHITE sleeves, ROYAL BLUE armlets, ROYAL BLUE cap.

Form: 0-40022

TIMEFORM VIEW Much improved switched to handicaps in this sphere, again finding only one too good at Sedgefield (21f) 12 days ago. Longer trip could unlock further progress and he’s one to consider with cheekpieces again enlisted.

5 THESE HAPPY DAZE (GB) (28) 6 11 6

Ch g Sholokhov (IRE) - Gaspaie (FR)

Owner: Happy Daze Racing Partnership

Trainer: Sophie Leech, Westbury-on-Severn

Breeder: Mr T. Westmacott & Mr C. Leech

Sponsor: W & S Recycling

Colours: MAROON, WHITE hoops, MAROON sleeves, WHITE cap.

Form: P-F200F

TIMEFORM VIEW Showed fair form over hurdles in France and he may well have finished placed but for falling at the last in a Sedgefield maiden (19.8f) 4 weeks ago Still, balance of his form is patchy and others make more appeal returned to handicaps. Star RatingHHHII Official BHA Rating 101

6 RAMO (FR) (25) 6 11 2

B g Kapgarde (FR) - Djeville (FR)

Owner: C B Compton & L Di Franco

Trainer: Venetia Williams, Hereford

Breeder: Mr Gildas Blain & Mrs Estelle Blain

Sponsor: Faucets Limited

Colours: DARK BLUE, WHITE chevron and armlets.

Form: 2-433

TIMEFORM VIEW Fair form when 2 1/2 lengths second of 9 in 4-y-o event at Strasbourg on debut 15 months ago, staying on well. Yet to match that level in 3 starts for new yard but latest third at Hereford (19.7f) wasn’t devoid of encouragement and this greater test may well play to his strengths.

The Result

2022: TIM PAT (IRE) 6 11 7 Theo Gillard 3-1 (Donald McCain) 11 ran

Betting Forecast:

11-4 Horacio Apple’s (FR), 3-1 Basford (IRE), 5-1 Imperial B G (IRE), 11-2 Rouge de L’Quest (IRE), 6-1 Ramo (FR), 11-1 These Happy Daze (GB)

Race Summary:

HORACIO APPLE’S showed improved form in line with the longer trip when making a successful handicap debut at Ayr (21.4f) recently and, with this greater test expected to hold no fears, he earns the vote to defy a rise in the weights and come out on top again. Basford, twice a runner up at Sedgefield of late, is feared, along with Imperial B G.
