I Shut That D'or
Has won two of his last three races, the latest at Plumpton (2m3f, good to soft; 6lb lower); he beat an exposed 12yo that day but a big leap at the last suggested he had a nice bit left in the tank.

9/1 |
Tilly Toughnut
Convincing winner of her first handicap at Exeter (2m, heavy) but beaten 25l and 48l in her next two races; she is bred for fences but returns from a lengthy break with something to prove.

3/1 |
Zestful Hope
3-4 at Hereford as opposed to 0-23 at other courses; returns to his favourite venue on the back of respectable efforts and should be in the thick of it.

Another Folly
Runner-up in his last two chases (3m, good; 2m4f, good to soft) but was no match for the winner on either occasion; handicap mark hasn't really gone anywhere and shouldn't be too far away on just his fourth chase start; made the running last time.

Bobbi's Beauty
It was never in any doubt when making it 2-4 over fences with a clearcut victory at Lingfield (2m, soft); has an 8lb rise to cope with but she's very much on the upgrade.

River Robe
Ex-Dan Skelton gelding with a strike-rate of 1-21; however, only had three races over fences and would probably have finished ahead of Zestful Hope in the latest at Ludlow without a late mistake; does appear to have a blunder in her.

10/1 |
Jikala
Won her maiden over hurdles at this track but she's gone chasing on the back of a long absence and ran no race when favourite at Leicester last time (2m4f, soft); hard to be confident.

Johnny Mac
Coped with varying conditions when completing a hat-trick last season in 2m chases; this campaign isn't going half as well and this new headgear combination did nothing for him last time.
