There's a lot to like about the way THANK YOU MA'AM goes about things and he's taken to defy top weight. Dan Skelton might have lined up Land Genie for this and he's feared most ahead of the hat-trick seeking Tiny Tetley.
Thank You Maam

VerdictLikeable front-runner who deservedly got off the mark in 3m Ascot handicap (good to soft) in December and added to his tally in a novice at Doncaster (good) last month. Should go well again.

VerdictImproved for new trainer Dan Skelton after win surgery, winning at Warwick (3¼m, soft) on New Year's Eve. Creditable fourth of 11 at the same course (25f, good to soft) in January and kept fresh for this since by his title-chasing trainer.

VerdictCapped an excellent 2021/22 season with a win in this race. Hasn't looked the force of old back from an absence this winter but his handicap mark reflects that and it's possible this has been the plan.

VerdictGained a deserved breakthrough win in 7-runner novice hurdle at Ludlow (3m, good to soft) in February. Creditable 7½ lengths third of 6 to Burrows Hall in handicap at Doncaster (3m, good) since and would have been a bit closer but for a mistake 2 out.- 3.

VerdictOn a hat-trick after small-field wins at Exeter and Taunton this spring. It was a very uncompetitive race last time and he's another 6 lb higher now but he's clearly in great form.

VerdictFairly useful hurdler who put in good shifts when going close in 23f handicaps at Exeter and Lingfield on first 2 starts of this season. Form dipped on next 2 outings back but on form when second of 5 at Bangor (23f, good) last month. Yard also runs Tiny Tetley.- Unnamed Favourite
