William Hill TV

Typically competitive but ALFIE SHERRIN looked a horse to follow when winning with authority at Newbury and, with the form having worked out so well, he is taken to defy a significant rise in the handicap. Festival regular Buena Vista heads the list of dangers, with Ainama also well worth considering.[Frank Carter]

	Alfie Sherrin	163
	Walsh, R/ Nicholls, P
(33)	Form: 1/11-31 Age: 7 Weight: 11-1
		Spotlight

7/2 10/3

Susp.

Spotlight : Not himself when suffering only defeat last autumn (behind Mr Thriller) and showed his true worth back from a break upped to this trip at Newbury last month in race which has worked out very well; handicapper responded with 12lb rise but it is unlikely we have seen the best of this lightly raced sort who has a favourite's chance.

	Smoking Aces	164
	Flood, P W/ Taaffe, T
(29)	Form: 12-0221 Age: 6 Weight: 10-6
		Spotlight

8/1 15/2

Susp.

Spotlight : Taken form to a new level this winter and got the better of a tight finish with Boulavogue at Punchestown last month; untested beyond 2m4f/on ground quicker than yielding but plenty of stamina in pedigree and there may be more to come with cheekpieces expected to sharpen him up.

	Ainama	166
	McCoy, A P/ Henderson, N
(111)	Form: 1283-65 Age: 6 Weight: 10-10
		Spotlight

7/1 8/1

Susp.

Spotlight : Did not come up to initial expectations as a novice last season but stated his case with a good third upped to 2m4f at Aintree; just the one (satisfactory) run in November this time round but is a fresh horse, suited by decent ground and unexposed at the trip.

	Maucaillou	158
	Cawley, A P/ Nolan, P
(54)	Form: 023447 Age: 7 Weight: 10-3
		Spotlight

20/1 16/1

Susp.

Spotlight : Never worse than fourth in four previous starts in 2m5f-3m1f handicaps here, most recently when fourth off this mark in December (splitting Kayf Aramis and Trenchant); losing run building up and may have to settle for minor role again.

	Time Electric	159
	Russell, D N/ Mullins, T
(124)	Form: 657125 Age: 8 Weight: 10-9
		Spotlight

20/1

Susp.

Spotlight : Kept busy through much of last year but had a break since pleasing first attempt at 3m+ here in November, finishing a close fifth, albeit in a race run at a slow early pace; may still have more to offer and seems to handle good ground as well as softer.

	Prince Erik	160
	Power, R M/ Weld, D
(54)	Form: FB-7F31 Age: 6 Weight: 10-8
		Spotlight

16/1 18/1

Susp.

Spotlight : Useful on the Flat in 2008; not take to chasing last year but back to form returned to hurdles of late, taking a big field apart in the Leopardstown Pertemps qualifier (minus usual blinkers); work to do if he is to confirm superiority over third-placed Boulavogue at revised weights and further improvement needed.

	Fredo	156
	Maguire, J M/ Williams, I
(26)	Form: P-03261 Age: 6 Weight: 10-5
		Spotlight

20/1 18/1

Susp.

Spotlight : Has improved with the step up to 3m recently, no match for Alfie Sherrin at Newbury but impressive on softer in Pertemps qualifier at Haydock seven days later; handicapper has hit back with 14lb rise and that combined with quicker ground could find him out.

	Buena Vista	165
	Frost, H/ Pipe, D
(48)	Form: 62-8508 Age: 9 Weight: 10-4
		Spotlight

18/1

Susp.

Spotlight : More than three years since he last won but run some fine races at past festivals, including when second off this mark in this contest last year when last fitted with blinkers; showed enough three outings ago to suggest he retains much of his ability and has to be of interest.

	Cross Kennon	159
	O'Keeffe, A/ Candlish, J
(103)	Form: 1211-11 Age: 6 Weight: 10-3
		Spotlight

20/1 18/1

Susp.

Spotlight : Started off in handicaps off a poor plater's mark a year ago but has repeatedly defied the assessor, most recently at Chepstow; up another 12lb but the third and fourth have franked the form and he may not have stopped improving yet.

	Palypso De Creek	152
	Siddall, T/ Longsdon, C
(54)	Form: 1P6-142 Age: 7 Weight: 10-5
		Spotlight

18/1 20/1

Susp.

Spotlight : Has adapted well to British conditions, winning novice hurdle on first run this term and running really well from out of handicap to chase home Our Vic in Peter Marsh Chase in January; 2lb lower here but debatable whether he is as effective hurdling or on livelier ground.

	Erzen	161
	Geraghty, B J/ Henderson, N
(26)	Form: 110220 Age: 5 Weight: 10-6
		Spotlight

25/1 22/1

Susp.

Spotlight : Not straightforward by any means but beaten only by progressive types when second in well-contested handicaps at Kempton and Sandown (off this mark) prior to disappointing on ground that was said to be unsuitable last time; should stay 3m but others preferred.

	Kayf Aramis	158
	Brennan, P J/ Twiston-Davies, N
(26)	Form: 363452 Age: 8 Weight: 11-6
		Spotlight

20/1

Susp.

Spotlight : Gone up 20lb since beating Buena Vista (now 20lb better off) here a year ago for Venetia Williams; beaten all six starts this winter but remains progressive and latest second at Haydock was his best effort yet; should run his race and no reason why he will not get involved.

	Trenchant	161
	Thornton, R/ King, A
(18)	Form: 691591 Age: 5 Weight: 11-6
		Spotlight

Susp.

Spotlight : Run very well both previous visits here, fifth in last season's Triumph and same position in C&D handicap in December (just behind Kayf Aramis and Maucaillou); sluggish next time but put that behind him in first-time blinkers at Fontwell and capable of getting involved if the headgear works as well again.

	Boulavogue	165
	Casey, D J/ Swan, C
(29)	Form: 35-2332 Age: 7 Weight: 10-5
		Spotlight

Susp.

Spotlight : Placed numerous times, including on Flat and over fences, since last successful 18 months ago; comes here in good heart after seconds to Smoking Aces at Punchestown and Prince Erik at Leopardstown; did not get home as well as the winner tackling 3m for first time in latter race and no surprise if he finds at least one or two too good again.

	Rocco's Hall	166
	Madden, N P/ O'Grady, E
(26)	Form: 245330 Age: 8 Weight: 10-3
		Spotlight

28/1

Susp.

Spotlight : Poor run last time but ran respectably to finish third at Down Royal previously following three attempts over fences; returns to 3m for first time since going under narrowly in big field at Punchestown in April and similar effort likely to bring him into it on ground which should suit.

	Don't Push It	151
	Berry, Mr A J/ O'Neill, Jonjo
(102)	Form: 271-423 Age: 10 Weight: 11-0
		Spotlight

33/1 25/1

Susp.

Spotlight : Smart form over fences this winter; 10lb lower mark over hurdles but was found wanting off the same rating in this race last year and again looks vulnerable to less exposed types; Tony McCoy prefers Ainama.

	Chamirey	159
	Hutchinson, W/ King, A
(26)	Form: 6/21213 Age: 7 Weight: 10-4
		Spotlight

28/1 25/1

Susp.

Spotlight : Placed at Grade 3 level but failed to win in 12 starts in France; successful at 2m4f-3m3f in novice company for present yard but brushed aside by Fredo at Haydock on handicap debut and more needed in first-time blinkers.

	Mr Thriller	162
	Scudamore, T/ Pipe, D
(47)	Form: 46-1138 Age: 5 Weight: 11-12
		Spotlight

Susp.

Spotlight : Returned last autumn in style, hammering Chepstow handicap opposition (including Alfie Sherrin) before digging deep to foil Starluck at Haydock; possible that race has left its mark, though got involved in a tussle for the lead here next time; well below par upped to this trip latest and plenty to prove.

	Ballyfitz	155
	Twiston-Davies, Mr S/ Twiston-Davies, N
(26)	Form: P-4P154 Age: 10 Weight: 11-8
		Spotlight

28/1

Susp.

Spotlight : Very much on the up when landing this prize two years ago; best known as a chaser in more recent times but, while hit and miss with his jumping in that sphere, showed he had lost none of his dash as a hurdler by holding South O'The Border at Sandown in December; fairly treated off 7lb higher and seems as effective on good ground.

	South O'The Border	155
	Coleman, A/ Twiston-Davies, N
(43)	Form: 21-8322 Age: 8 Weight: 10-6
		Spotlight

Susp.

Spotlight : Creditable second over inadequate trip in good standard beginners chase at Exeter on first outing since leaving Venetia Williams; closely matched with Ballyfitz on previous 2m6f Sandown form and shapes as though he will stay 3m, particularly with the ground less demanding; not stable's first string on jockey bookings.

	Silk Affair	159
	O'Brien, T J/ Quinlan, M
(1)	Form: 1-03550 Age: 5 Weight: 10-2
		Spotlight

25/1 28/1

Susp.

Spotlight : Really found her feet when landing the Fred Winter here a year ago and best effort since when fifth from out of handicap at Sandown last month, giving impression this step up to 3m will suit, though remains to be seen whether she turns out quickly after finishing down the field in Coral Cup yesterday.

	Montana Slim	166
	Lynch, A E/ O'Hare, M
(32)	Form: 4-1310P Age: 8 Weight: 10-9
		Spotlight

40/1 33/1

Susp.

Spotlight : Seems to stay but his more convincing performances have been at shorter trips, notably when winning on testing ground at Punchestown and Naas last year; needs to put a couple of substandard displays behind him but said to be in very good form.

	College Daisy	161
	McCarthy, I J/ Hughes, D
(46)	Form: 4F2402 Age: 7 Weight: 10-4
		Spotlight

33/1

Susp.

Spotlight : Versatile as regards trip/ground and effective with and without cheekpieces; comes here in good form but been found wanting in less competitive handicaps and will needs to raise her game.

	Special Occasion	153
	Scholfield, N/ Nicholls, P
(48)	Form: 113-015 Age: 6 Weight: 10-2
		Spotlight

33/1 50/1

Susp.

Spotlight : Looked far from willing when winning at Taunton, flashing tail and carrying head awkwardly, and did not find much in blinkers next time; significantly up in trip and probably best to look elsewhere.
