Verdict

Low-mileage 7-y-o JO COKO certainly didn't look short on stamina when making it second time lucky over fences at Uttoxeter a couple of months ago and, quickly upped to a marathon trip, he's fancied to make a bold bid with further progress on the cards. Bangor scorer Planned Paradise won't have any stamina concerns and he's a player also. Court at Slip and Wal Buck's can also figure.

4	Irish point winner who showed fair form over hurdles for James Ewart last season and better for return/yard debut effort when off the mark (also fitted with cheekpieces) in 8-runner novices' handicap chase at Uttoxeter (3¼m) 2 months ago, displaying plenty of stamina.

6	Capitalised on a reduced mark in 11-runner handicap chase at Bangor (29.6f, soft) 4 weeks ago, drawing clear from last. Back up 9 lb but still handily weighted so well worth considering in this groove. 2nd Pick 6 Planned Paradise (Ire) Jockey: Charlie Maggs Trainer: Christian Williams J: Charlie Maggs T: Christian Williams	100	-	-	-	25%

8	More than 2 years have passed since his last success but he's dropped to a mark he can compete from and arrives on the back of 5 consecutive placed efforts, running creditably when second of 8 in 3m handicap chase at Wetherby 4 weeks ago.
