1/3
Has a significant advantage at these weights dropping to selling company for the first time with first-time cheekpieces applied. Not the most straightforward of horses but a repeat of his 4th in a handicap hurdle last time makes him hard to beat here.

9/2
Another dropping into this grade for the first time with a visor applied for the first time. Well held in a handicap last time at Plumpton and needs to improve on that run to find success at the weights here.

16/1
Made a good start to life with Olly Murphy wining a couple of handicaps before his form rather tailed off turning in some rather laboured efforts. Well beaten in this grade before and faces a stiff task at the weights.

Luca Brazih43
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-9| J: Graham Carson(7)| T: A Sadik| OR:  69
250/1
No form over hurdles and has shown little in two starts for this yard and hard to see how he could win this based on his recent outings.

16/1
Modest enough on the Flat winning a handicap off a mark of 52 would have been her best performance. Only had one outing over hurdles so far and immediately drops to this grade after showing only a little ability last time out.

Petit Filoust13
Age: 3|  Weight: 10-8| J: J M Quinlan| T: M Wigham
22/1
Makes his debut for this yard over hurdles (fair maiden on the Flat) and starts life in selling grade over hurdles. Market may well be worth watching on hurdles debut.

Forecasts

Old Harry Rocks (1/3), Searching (9/2), Sky of Stars (16/1), Cooperess (16/1), Petit Filous (22/1), Luca Brazi (250/1)

Verdict

This is a weak contest and although OLD HARRY ROCKS isn’t the most straightforward he does have a fair advantage at the weights and it would be a shock if he were beaten here. Searching and Sky Of Stars have shown some form in handicaps but the weights don’t favour either when the official ratings are factored in. Petit Filous faces a tough task but could be worth watching in the market for his shrewd yard.
  1. Old Harry Rocks
  2. Searching
  3. Sky of Stars
