B Mme C. Montaudoin & Mr J. Montaudoin TIMEFORM VIEW Showed benefit of reappearance when making all at Newcastle a year ago. Matched that form with a brace of runner-up efforts in the spring, adopting usual forceful tactics. May just need this. TFRHHHII BHA130

Br Ch g Indian River (FR) - Easter Saturday (IRE) Miss Ella Herbison (7) J O Mrs S. L. Hobbs Philip Hobbs, Minehead T B Mrs Mary Tynan Phelan TIMEFORM VIEW Inconsistent chaser on a long losing run, but has dropped to a good mark and having won a point, he confirmed he’s back in reasonable nick when second in a veterans’ handicap in October.

Mr Ben Bromley (5) J Paul Nicholls, Ditcheat T B Aidan Madden Morson Group S TIMEFORM VIEW Lightly-raced hurdler who picked up a maiden and novice last season. Allotted a tricky opening mark and chase debut/reappearance here wasn’t that promising but he can do better. Up in trip. TFRHHHII BHA127

Mr Zac Baker J
O Mr Charles C. Walker
Nigel Twiston-Davies, Cheltenham T B Genesis Green Stud Ltd P3P Partners LLP, Agetur (UK) Ltd S TIMEFORM VIEW Not shown much for a while but reappearance over hurdles will have served a purpose and he’s very well handicapped if he ever does rediscover his form. TFRHHHII BHA126

Br B g Astarabad (USA) - La Vie de Boitron (FR) Miss Lucy Turner (3) J
O Venetia Williams Racehorse Syndicate III
Venetia Williams, Hereford T B Mme Julie Morgan Faucets Limited S TIMEFORM VIEW Ended last term badly out of sorts over hurdles. Reverts to chasing now after undergoing wind surgery and he needs to show more than on his two previous attempts in this sphere. Yard in form, however. TFRHHHII BHA125

Br B g Dubai Destination (USA) - Anie (IRE) Miss Gina Andrews J
O Let Us Do Lunch Partnership

6 10-11
Mr James King J Dr Richard Newland, Droitwich T B D. Delaney Foxtrot Racing Syndicates S TIMEFORM VIEW Displayed progressive form over hurdles, opening his account in a Hereford maiden prior to excellent second on Carlisle handicap bow. Warmed to task on chase debut last month and more to come. TFRHHHHH BHA115
O Mr James Finch
Sophie Leech, Westbury-on-Severn T B Karen George W & S Recycling S TIMEFORM VIEW Veteran who races almost exclusively in France these days. Looks to be a declining force rising 14 so others more appealing. TFRHHIII BHA105

Probable S.P’s: 4-1 Bali Body (IRE), 5-1 Rolling Dylan (IRE), 6-1 Boughtbeforelunch (IRE), 7-1 Sending Love (IRE), 8-1 Valadom (FR), 9-1 Burrows Park (FR), 12-1 Count Meribel (GB), 16-1 Volcano (FR), 25-1 Henryville (GB)
PLAY SMARTER After hitting a couple of fences early, BALI BODY ended up shaping quite well on chase debut at Warwick a month ago and representing an excellent yard, he can leave that form well behind. Boughtbeforelunch was in the process of running very well when falling last week and is feared most, with Rolling Dylan also of some interest.
