Harry Cobden J Paul Nicholls, Ditcheat T B Mr Guy Vimont Morson Group S TIMEFORM VIEW Always going to be a chaser and made successful return in 2m Ludlow handicap before a good run at Newbury. Modest efforts next 2 starts but return to better ground may well help. TFRHHHHH BHA135

Harry Kimber (7) J Colin Tizzard, Sherborne T B P. Ryan Green Mining (Sizing), Coral Racing Limited S TIMEFORM VIEW No longer the force of old, but latest fourth at Newbury was easily his best effort of the season, so not ruled out off sliding mark. TFRHHHHI BHA134

Lorcan Williams (3) J Jeremy Scott, Dulverton T Brendon Powerwashers S

TIMEFORM VIEW Jumped well when winning at Sandown/Plumpton over this sort of trip last term and better signs again off reduced mark at Warwick. Found Cheltenham Festival too competitive since. TFRHHHHI BHA132

Br Ch g Three Valleys (USA) - Bakhtawar (IRE) O Mr Charles C. Walker B Genesis Green Stud Ltd Mark Grant J Nigel Twiston-Davies, Cheltenham T P3P Partners LLP S

TIMEFORM VIEW Ended last season on a low-key note and doesn’t appear to have returned in much form either. Now over 2 years since he last achieved a solid piece of useful form. TFRHHHII BHA132

ERITAGE disappointed under testing conditions the last twice but is worth another chance back on better going. Champagne Court found the Cheltenham Festival too

PLAY SMARTER competitive but should make much more of an impact here, while Sizing Codelco hinted at a revival at Newbury 4 weeks ago. TIMEFORM PREDICTION: 1.ERITAGE (FR) 2.CHAMPAGNE COURT (IRE) 3.SIZING CODELCO (IRE)
