Ramses De Teillee^t²²

Age: 5| Weight: 12-2| J: T Scudamore| T: D Pipe| OR: 122| BF

3/1

Returned from a break to finish a close third at Fontwell. Should strip fitter for the outing, but is 3lb higher and has to prove he can handle deep ground. Stable jockey prefers him to Lady Of Longstone.

Form: 1/4326-3

Take A Break¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Danny Cook| T: N J Hawke| OR: 118| C

9/2

Off the track for 17 months before winning decisively at Hexham last month. Steps up in trip and has to avoid the "bounce" factor, but has to be considered off 11lb higher.

Form: 6PPF6/1

Waterloo Warrior^b,t1²⁰⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: R M Power| T: C L Tizzard| OR: 114

9/4

Showed that stamina was not an issue when second over further at Exeter in March. Returns from a lay-off in a first-time tongue tie and looks a player for his strong stable.

Form: 2265P2-

Lady Of Longstone^b²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Michael Heard⁽⁵⁾| T: D Pipe| OR: 108| D

12/1

Second runner for the stable, but has been out of form on recent starts and has plenty to prove despite her reduced handicap mark. All five career wins have been achieved on a sounder surface.

Form: 53604P

Maguire's Glen¹⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 11-1| J: M Hamill⁽⁵⁾| T: G Harris| OR: 107

10/3

Has few secrets from the handicapper, but ran well off 2lb lower when second at this track last time. Won on heavy ground when trained in Ireland and has strong claims.

Form: 6316-42

Arthur Burrell¹⁷⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 10-13| J: James Best| T: Miss J Du Plessis| OR: 105| C

22/1

Looked a fair prospect when winning on his debut in a bumper in July, 2015, but has been lightly raced since and he was returning from a lengthy lay-off when beaten a long way over C&D in April. Readily opposed.

Form: 154/237-

Archie Rice⁷¹

Age: 11| Weight: 10-8| J: Bryony Frost⁽⁵⁾| T: J D Frost| OR: 100| C| D

25/1

Winning hurdler and point-to-pointer who drops in trip after two fair efforts at this track. Prefers a sound surface, however, so others make more appeal.

Form: 41-3136

Forecasts

Waterloo Warrior (9/4), Ramses De Teillee (3/1), Maguire's Glen (10/3), Take A Break (9/2), Lady Of Longstone (12/1), Arthur Burrell (22/1), Archie Rice (25/1)

Top weight Ramses De Teillee looks much the best of his stable's two runners, but has plenty of weight to carry in deep ground. Maguire's Glen will handle underfoot conditions and is respected, but WATERLOO WARRIOR looks to have more scope for improvement and is not badly treated on his return from a break. Take A Break enters calculations despite his rise in the weights.
