132 7. OCEAN COVE Fergal O'Brien Paddy Brennan
131 3. FAWSLEY SPIRIT Ben Pauling Daryl Jacob
Analyst's Verdict:
Tossapenny has shown plenty and was edged out by a subsequent winner at Hereford last time. This looks a good opportunity. Blue Flight and Fawsley Spirit both look up to winning races also and could be the dangers here.

133 7. FIELDS OF FORTUNE Alan King Tom Cannon
Analyst's Verdict:
Harefield produced another pleasing effort without being given a hard time when runner-up at Towcester, and he looks sure to go well again back at the scene of his November win. Whatmore, Fields of Fortune and Captain Jack all merit consideration.

136 1. RED INFANTRY Ian Williams Robert Dunne
134 5. CADEAU DU BRESIL Grant Cann Tom O'Brien
Analyst's Verdict:
Militarian has the pedigree and physique to make a better chaser and he pushed a useful winner all the way when runner-up on his chase bow at Market Rasen on belated return last month. He looks on a fair opening mark based on that effort and can go one better. In-form Red Infantry is another to consider along with the low-mileage Oneida Tribe.

Analyst's Verdict:
Fresh New Dawn now looks ready for this sort of trip (bred to stay well but looked a non-stayer over 3m early in his career) and representing a stable in terrific form, he could be the way to go. Banco de Logos has made a positive start for his new yard, while it will be interesting to see what Neil Mulholland can do with Albert d'Olivate.

Analyst's Verdict:
Alberto's Dream is thriving at the moment, completing the hat-trick with ease at Huntingdon 2 weeks ago, and can score again despite another big hike. Last year's winner The Last Bridge arrives in good form and is the obvious threat.

130 3. NOW MCGINTY Stuart Edmunds Tom O'Brien
129 7. CELESTIAL MAGIC Richard Phillips Daniel Hiskett (5)
Analyst's Verdict:
A competitive finale. Mahlervous suffered an unfortunate unseat on his handicap debut but the fact he went off favourite suggests connections' think he's on a fair mark and this longer trip promises to suit him well. Now McGinty will be a major threat if the cheekpieces continue to have the desired effect, while Aliandy can also figure if shrugging off a lesser run last time.
