TIMEFORM VIEW Useful hurdler/chaser at his peak but has been modest this year Others make more appeal.

H Ledbury Faucets Limited S

TIMEFORM VIEW Bumper winner who is lightly raced over fences and returned to form when third in a hunter at Carlisle a couple of months ago. Solid form claims but he’s not the most straightforward. TFRHHHHI BHA116

Mrs S. Darke, Kingsbridge T

TIMEFORM VIEW Good strike rate in points, but previous efforts under Rules haven’t been overly inspiring. Unseated at Exeter last time and has something to prove. TFRHHIII BHA96

H Heythrop

TIMEFORM VIEW Failed to take to chasing for Gordon Elliott but fairly useful form in hunters for this yard and has done well in points. Step back in right direction when third at Cheltenham last time and can’t be ruled out with blinkers refitted. TFRHHHII BHA115

TIMEFORM VIEW Formerly useful chaser who has also won in points but hard to fancy based on his Rules form last season. TFRHIIII BHA107

O Mrs Jennifer Irish and Mr Paul Nicholls Paul Nicholls, Ditcheat T

H Blackmore & Sparkford Vale

TIMEFORM VIEW Useful winning hurdler who left previous chasing efforts behind when third in a handicap at Chepstow last time. Should find this easier and is worth taking a chance on. TFRHHHHH BHA116

DECLARED RUNNERS 8 2022: WOTZIZNAME (IRE) 12 12 0 Miss Megan Bevan 1-6 (Mrs Diane Ward) 2 ran Sheepskin Cheek Pieces worn first time by No. 7. Blinkers worn by No. 6. Tongue Strap worn by No. 2, 5, 7, 8. Sheepskin Cheek Pieces worn by No. 1, 3, 8.

Stewards Note:

BBOLD: Following its run on 26/12/2022 it was reported that the horse would prefer a faster surface.

Probable S.P.’s: 7-4 Crypto (IRE), 4-1 Young Buck (IRE), 11-2 Moratorium (IRE), 10-1 Bbold (IRE), 12-1 Broadclyst (IRE), 14-1 Wotzizname (IRE), 16-1 Minimalistic (IRE), 40-1 Ofalltheginjoints (IRE)

YOUNG BUCK produced comfortably his best effort to date over fences when third in handicap company at Chepstow last time and, if he can build on that he should be able to get the better of Crypto. Moratorium wasn’t disgraced at Cheltenham, so he’s another one to consider
