TIMEFORM VIEW Ten-time winner in France (four of those wins over fences) and having been tailed off at Ffos Las 3 weeks ago, he wasted no time getting back on track fitted with blinkers when a close third at Uttoxetter on Tuesday. Fancied to feature provided this doesn’t come too soon. Star RatingHHHHH Official BHA Rating 102 PHILIP ARMSON (5)

TIMEFORM VIEW Improved when placed in handicaps at Ludlow (21f) and Taunton (19f) earlier this year and seemingly on a confidence-restoring mission when well held on his chasing debut at Newton Abbot last month. Should do better in this sphere so one to look out for. Star RatingHHHII Official BHA Rating 97 NICK SCHOLFIELD

TIMEFORM VIEW Supported on his first start since leaving Alan King but failed to stop the slide after 11 weeks off when well held here last month. Quickly switched over the larger obstacles but he’s tough to fancy on recent evidence. Star RatingHHIII Official BHA Rating 92 CHARLIE HAMMOND

TIMEFORM VIEW Shaped well until his stamina appeared to give out over 3m at Fakenham in May and similar comments applied at Worcester last time, held when unseating his rider 2 out. Back in cheekpieces today and he’s one to consider from a sliding mark. Star RatingHHHHI Official BHA Rating 89 CAOILIN QUINN (7)

TIMEFORM VIEW Fair winning hurdler/chaser for Elizabeth Doyle in Ireland but didn’t cut much ice over fences for this yard last autumn and similarly showed little back from 7 months off over hurdles recently. Back over the larger obstacles today but he looks an easy swerve. Star RatingHIIII Official BHA Rating 88 CONNOR BRACE

TIMEFORM VIEW Dual winner last season but he’s looked one with problems this season, faltering quickly having tracked the pace until 5 out at Newton Abbot 19 days ago. Down to a potentially lenient mark but hard to put much faith in him. Star RatingHHHII Official BHA Rating 87 BRIAN HUGHES

TIMEFORM VIEW Demoted to second having been first past the post at Newton Abbot last summer and having shown little since, came within a neck of opening his account in this sphere from 10lb out of weights over C&D last month. That was a weak race and he’s not sure to be in the same form here. Star RatingHHHII Official BHA Rating 79 CONOR RING (3)

RACE SUMMARY:
Plenty of in-and-out performers on show here, not least DINDIN. David Pipe’s charge looked back on song tried in a change of headgear when third at Uttoxeter on Tuesday so provided this doesn’t come too soon he’s fancied to go a couple of places better and open his account on these shores. Any market confidence behind Trumps Benefit could prove significant so he can chase the selection home, with Uncle O next on this list.
