Catchin Time^t¹²

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Page Fuller⁽⁷⁾| T: L Hurley| OR: 99

10/1

Course and distance winner who is coming back down to a winnable mark and will handle the testing ground well.

Form: 242F-05

Sir Hubert⁵⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: A Glassonbury| T: R Rowe| OR: 96

10/3

Plumpton regular who is still a maiden after 13 starts. Has gone close on his last two starts and signs are that he's not far off breaking his duck.

Form: 36P-302

Royal Etiquette^p,t⁴²

Age: 10| Weight: 11-2| J: Aidan Coleman| T: Mrs L Hill| OR: 89

6/1

Unlucky not to score in a claimer at leicester last time out but still remains a maiden over jumps after 11 starts. Soft ground possibly not ideal but not out of things here.

Form: 443/4-22

Cafe Au Lait^p,t¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-13| J: R P McLernon| T: Mrs S Leech| OR: 86

11/4

On a long losing record but brace of runner-up efforts on last two starts give hope that he's starting to find form again.

Form: 900082

Clonusker^t²¹

Age: 9| Weight: 10-9| J: Tom Cannon| T: Mrs L C Jewell| OR: 82

9/2

course and distance winner with not that many miles on the clock for age. Will be sharper for seasonal debut last time out and not without a chance off current rating.

Form: P2757-5

Uranox^p,t⁴⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 10-0| J: David Noonan⁽³⁾| T: M Roberts| OR: 72

16/1

Still a maiden after 11 starts and not a huge amount in his form figures to recommend here. Has run well at track once before but that was over half a mile further.

Form: 8/926-P4

League Of His Own^h,t⁴⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: T E Whelan| T: Nick Mitchell| OR: 64

6/1

Running from 9lb out of the handicap and 0/17 under rules. Did run well in two point to points recently but needs to show a lot more now back under rules.

Form: 40-P125

Forecasts

Cafe Au Lait (11/4), Sir Hubert (10/3), Clonusker (9/2), Royal Etiquette (6/1), League Of His Own (6/1), Catchin Time (10/1), Uranox (16/1), Avithos (16/1)

Far from the most reliable bunch and this may be the time for SIR HUBERT to open his account. CAFE AU LAIT is starting to find a bit of form again and can go well whilst ROYAL ETIQUETTE, who was unlucky last time out, shouldn't be far away either. 1. Sir Hubert 2. Cafe Au Lait 3. Royal Etiquette
