Wicks Group Cavendish Cup Handicap Steeple Chase (GBB Race)

Grand Clermont arrives on the back of a win one start back and a second last time out, bringing solid recent form into this; he carries a hefty 168 lb, which is the principal concern against this field.

Breizh River arrives here in excellent nick, a winner one start back and third last time out, with two wins from his last five starts and experience of today's going working in his favour; the main query is whether 44 days between runs leaves him short of peak sharpness under a hefty 167 lb.

Tamarind Bay unseated last time out, which tempers the enthusiasm somewhat, though he had won two of the three starts before that, most recently a winner two starts back and again three starts back. Has run over today's going and returns fit on a 16-day turnaround, but 164 lb is a stiff ask.

Tommie Beau has mixed recent form, winning three starts back before a runner-up finish two starts back, and he has experience over today's trip and going. Carrying 163 lb after 44 days off is the one query, but his rating of 135 marks him as the one to beat here.

Caughtinyourtrance arrives on the back of back-to-back wins and has run over today's trip and going, making him a serious player under 161 lb — the burden he carries is the one thing that could halt his momentum.
