33/1
Lost his way when with Nicky Henderson and makes his debut for a new yard (£8,000 purchase in June). Clear claims on his best form, but probably best suited by plenty of juice in the ground and needs to leave his earlier form from 2017 firmly in the past.

8/1
Races to the fore, but often doesn't find a great deal late on when push comes to shove. However, he tends to save his best for this unique track, with his career form figures here reading; 3,1,1,5,8,2,F. Handicapped to run well if able to reproduce his April course second (2m1f) to Sunnytahliateigan.

5/1
A four time career winner who is fluid in terms of trip having sampled success between 2m and 3m. His more recent victories have come over the minimum trip (late in 2016) and he's just 1lb above his last winning mark with the champion jockey now taking the mount.

33/1
A winner over both hurdles and fences for previous trainer Gary Moore (including over 2m1f at this track in April 2014). However, off for a long time (since October 2015) and sold cheaply to current connections in April 2016 (£2,000). Pulled up on his return in a seller at Ffos Las in early June so looks a horse to have major reservations about.

3/1
Gone backwards since winning at Market Rasen in December (2m4f+ good to soft), but is 3lb below that winning mark and is still only aged seven, so not one to be giving up on just yet. This trip might prove more suitable than his last two starts at Worcester (2m).

5/1
Won a couple of mares contests in September 2016 (2m to 2m1f) and has gone onto run respectably since from higher marks. She has filled the frame on her last three starts at Worcester since mid July, and whilst others might be better handicapped, she looks guaranteed to run a creditable race assuming she stays the longer trip.

7/2
Raised 8lb for his 9L victory (beat Poetic Lady) in a 2m4f conditional jockeys handicap hurdle at Worcester early last month. However, his previous form with Terry The Fish is rock solid (although beaten many lengths) and he has run well on both previous visits to this track. Tough to beat under an excellent young 10lb claimer.

4/1
Ten race rules maiden who left previous trainer Iain Ferguson for £16,000 at the Doncaster May Sale. Did okay on his debut for this yard at Stratford last month when just under 10L third to the subsequent Worcester winner Mr Caffrey. Improvement possible from the same mark in the first time hood.

Forecasts

Chic Theatre (3/1), Get Home Now (7/2), Ramore Will (4/1), Bobble Emerald (5/1), Solstalla (5/1), Prouts Pub (8/1), Maguire's Glen (10/1), Gun Shy (33/1), Baratineur (33/1)

Verdict

A few of these are plenty capable enough of winning this contest, but have points to prove at present. Therefore, the Peter Bowen trained James Bowen ridden GET HOME NOW looks the most likely winner. He was raised 8lb for a 9L success at Worcester last month, but with his earlier form against Terry The Fish and Supreme Steel appearing rock solid, and with proven course form at this track there would appear every likelihood that he can record a fifth career success.
