Dual winner in 2015 including in a novice hurdlehere. Lightly raced since and well beaten in two starts for this stable in 2017. Others make more appeal here.

11/2

Point-to-point winner in November last year but a maiden after seven starts under rules. Best recent effort came when third over 2m1f on soft ground over hurdles here last month and is an interesting runner in this.

8/1

21 race maiden and put a number of poor performances this year behind him when finishing a close fifth over C&D on good-to-soft ground in June. Races off the same mark today.

Form: 2PFP-75

Volcanic Jack⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 10-0| J: T J Phelan| T: M C Chapman| OR: 71| CD

Forecasts

Dotties Dilema (7/2), Longhouse Music (5/1), Novo Dawn (11/2), Pekanheim (11/2), Brother Scott (6/1), Noble Call (8/1), Alchimix (8/1), Classic Palace (14/1), Shine Away (20/1), Volcanic Jack (20/1)

Conditional jockey James Bowen has made a flying start to his career and he can record a winner here on board Sam Curling's mare LONGHOUSE MUSIC. The selection ran a fair race on her penultimate outing and should appreciate this drop in trip having failed to stay at Sligo last time out. Pekanheim can put a disappointing effort at Hexham last time out behind him by notching his fourth placed effort since winning in March while top weight Brother Scott is taken to follow up two victories by finishing third here on his debut for this stable.
