B Mr Jean-Marc Godefroy TIMEFORM VIEW Scored 3 times over hurdles last season, including at this track, but has offered little over fences. First go against the novices in this sphere now off much-reduced mark (also sports first-time cheekpieces). Check the betting. TFR###!! BHA108 4 AKI BOMAYE (IRE) (16) 2/254-4P

Gary Moore, Horsham T B Jean Urizzi Heart Of The South Bloodstock S TIMEFORM VIEW Big improver, winning Lingfield handicaps over this trip and 2m last month, ridden positively and closed down only when the race was in safe keeping 26 days ago.

Chris Gordon, Winchester T B J. H. Culloty Equestrian Fencing & Timber Ltd, Goodwin Racing Ltd S TIMEFORM VIEW 2m Warwick hurdle winner in March. Bit better second time up over fences in C&D handicap in October but soon done with after a mid-race error at Taunton last time (lost place 4 out, ran out next). Hard to fancy. TFR###!!

Paul Henderson, Whitsbury T B Mr N. Davis Tote S TIMEFORM VIEW Built on encouraging return over hurdles when good second to Walk In The Wild in 2m Lingfield handicap chase last month, keeping on well. Suspect that one may have his measure again though. TFR###!! BHA85 8 MILTON (GB) (211) 0/0F//6-04 Br Br g Nomadic Way (USA) - Jesmund O Mrs C. A. Webber

Stewards Note:

Probable S.P’s: 2-1 Walk In The Wild (FR), 11-2 Art of Illusion (IRE), 13-2 Shaw’s Cross (IRE), 7-1 Old Painless (IRE), 17-2 Stanley Pincombe (IRE), 9-1 Sainte Doctor (FR), 14-1 Aki Bomaye (IRE), 50-1 Milton (GB)

PLAY SMARTER WALK IN THE WILD hasn’t looked back since sent chasing by Gary Moore and a hat-trick is on the cards. Old Painless could have more to offer himself now going over fences, while a market move for Sainte Doctor would be interesting.
