Verdict

SHOT BOII was almost six lengths adrift of the runner-up Try The Money when fourth over C&D during the spring, but he's unlikely to face anything like the same level of competition for the lead this time and resumes on a 2 lb lower mark, with Rian Corcoran claiming a further 10 lb. Try The Money should give another good account if tuned-up for this and he is feared most ahead of Esperti.

2	Latest success was gained at Hereford back in January 2024, but has posted more good efforts than bad ones since (including when last seen over this C&D in April) and is currently 3 lb below that winning mark. Big chance if ready to roll (has won on the back of a similar break in the past). 1st Pick 2 Shot Boii (Ire) Jockey: Jack Tudor Trainer: David Pipe J: Jack Tudor T: David Pipe	100	-	-	-	29%

8	Placed a couple of times over hurdles and has performed well all 4 starts at this course since switched to fences, finding just one too good in a C&D handicap (soft) when last seen in April. Looks nicely treated off the same mark and he will be a threat if raring to go. 2nd Pick 8 Try The Money (Ire) Jockey: Kielan Woods Trainer: Henry Oliver J: Kielan Woods T: Henry Oliver	99	-	-	-	40%

5	Belatedly took advantage of a much-reduced mark when landing a C&D handicap in February, on what was his final run of last season. Backed that up (despite tending to jump right) when runner-up on return at Newton Abbot and, still on a good mark following a 2 lb nudge, he needs considering. 3rd Pick 5 Esperti (Ire) Jockey: Sean Bowen Trainer: David Rees J: Sean Bowen T: David Rees	93	-	-	-	25%
