River Run Free
RIVER RUN FREE enhanced an already decent strike rate over fences with a smooth success at Leicester last month and David Pipe's 7-y-o is well worth another go over this trip. He gets the nod over Esperti, who is in the form of his life for current connections and Sean Bowen taking over in the plate only enhances his claims further. Previous C&D winner Haut Folin rounds off the shortlist.

Revitalised over hurdles last season, easy winner of C&D handicap before following up at Exeter (23.1f). Bettered previous efforts in this sphere when third on reappearance at Chepstow but unable to build on that effort at Uttoxeter subsequently. New rider tried.DateCourseDistConditionsTypePosUttoxeter3m 10yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Chasepu/13Chepstow2m 7f 136yGood to Soft (Good in places)Chase3/4Exeter2m 7f 25yGood (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle1/12Ffos Las2m 7f 191yHeavyHurdle1/6Chepstow2m 7f 131ySoft (Heavy in places)Hurdle2/12- 3River Run FreeJ: Jack TudorE: David Pipe14P-4P1Âge 75/25/46/4

Well backed returned to the scene of his previous success and got right back on track to justify the support at Leicester last month (9 runners, 3/1 fav), scoring cosily having travelled smoothly. 5 lb higher here but well worth another shot at this sort of trip.DateCourseDistConditionsTypePosLeicester2m 6f 151yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Chase1/9Exeter2m 3f 48yHeavyChasepu/9Uttoxeter2m 4fSoft (Good to Soft in places)Chase4/6Ffos Las2m 7f 177ySoftChasepu/11Leicester2m 4f 25yHeavyChase4/5- 2Haut FolinJ: Charlie DeutschE: Venetia Williams2PPP-P3Âge 99/29/24/1

Stepped up on reappearance in refitted blinkers when third of 9 at Ludlow (10/1) 5 weeks ago. Handicapper eases his grip a touch more and there have been more promising signs for this yard in the past week.DateCourseDistConditionsTypePosLudlow2m 7f 171yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Chase3/9Warwick3mSoftChasepu/9Leicester2m 6f 151yGood to SoftChasepu/6Hereford3m 1f 44ySoftChasepu/6Lingfield Park2m 7f 110yHeavy (Soft in places)Chasepu/8- 4EspertiJ: Sean BowenE: David Rees4B1-211Âge 99/29/42/1

Going the right way over fences having won 3 of his last 4 starts, latest at Fontwell (6 runners, 11/2) 8 weeks ago. Successful over this C&D on penultimate outing and Sean Bowen taking over from a 5-lb conditional only enhances his claims.DateCourseDistConditionsTypePosFontwell Park3m 1f 210yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Chase1/6Ffos Las2m 7f 177ySoft (Heavy in places)Chase1/7Newton Abbot3m 1f 170yGood to SoftChase2/6Ffos Las2m 7f 177yHeavyChase1/7Ffos Las2m 7f 177yHeavyChasebd/13- 6Benny BalooJ: Isabel WilliamsE: Evan Williams/32-558Âge 912/120/116/1

Made it second time lucky over fences for Tim Easterby back in 2023. Hasn't clocked many miles since, but efforts for present yard since returning from a 16-month absence have been disappointing, including back over hurdles in cheekpieces last time.

Hasn't progressed since showing first form under Rules on chase debut at Lingfield in November, beaten a long way out at Taunton (9/1, 14 runners) 5 weeks ago.

Long time without a win and little to shout about since returning from a 30-month absence in September, blundering 4 out when 11 lengths behind the eventual second. Back up in trip and looks an easy swerve.DateCourseDistConditionsTypePosFfos Las2m 3f 83ySoft (Heavy in places)Chase5/8Ffos Las2m 7f 177yGoodChase5/7Stratford-on-avon2m 6f 125yGood (Good to Firm in places)Chasepu/9Chepstow2m 11ySoftHurdle4/7Ffos Las2m 4fGood (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle5/12
