FormscanBy Shane Redmond - CHURCHWARDEN (5) landed quite a gamble when a runaway winner over this course and distance early last month and might just follow up if turning out again after his narrow defeat in a handicap hurdle here on Thursday evening. He scored by all of 10 lengths on his most recent Flat start and is likely to remain competitive despite a 12lb hike in the ratings. Marmeladova is certainly far better than she showed at the Curragh last Sunday. The ground certainly won’t be as quick here and the step back up in trip should suit. Her form ties in with Daboya and Merlin The Wizard and with any luck in running, she might be up to finishing ahead of them both this time.

An extended handicap for three years old and upwards (80 = 10st 4lbs)
Penalties - (after calculation of the handicap) A winner shall carry 7lb extra for each race won.
