Ciaran Gethings J Kim Bailey, Cheltenham T B Mrs Margaret Platt Kim Bailey Racing Ltd S TIMEFORM VIEW Three-time winner over fences who was held in second behind Rizzardo in this in 2020.

Sam Allwood, Whitchurch T B A. Smart Allwood Horse Transport S TIMEFORM VIEW Got back on track sent chasing this season, placed twice before off the mark at Bangor. May have found subsequent Catterick assignment coming too soon and has been given a break. Wouldn’t dismiss. TFRHHHII BHA100
