Oh Land Abloom^p³¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: Harry Teal⁽⁷⁾| T: N B King| OR: 133| CD

11/1

A winner over hurdles here twice in the past (once over further) he landed his first success since those wins at Plumpton last time over 3m1f. That was quite a weak 0-130 though and the 4lb rise for that win makes life a lot harder here.

Form: 2322-01

Applesandpierres^p²²⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 10-13| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 129

10/1

Hard to write off anything from this stable with this one belatedly fulfilling his promise when last seen in April taking a Wetherby handicap off 124. Had been rather frustrating prior to that but this sort of event may yet show him in a better light.

Cake de L'Isle²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: Aidan Coleman| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 127| CD

10/1

C&D winner in maiden company earlier in the year he was starting to shape with obvious promise on his return (handicap debut) at Cheltenham recently. Had yet to be asked for his effort when unseating three out; should have more to come.

Mister Fizz^p²⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 10-9| J: T Dowling⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss I Pickard| OR: 125| D

25/1

Took a step back in the right direction over hurdles with cheekpieces back on at Stratford in October off this mark. Has though since disappointed on the Flat and faces a stiff task in this on what he shown of late.

Form: 50/00-03

Psychedelic Rock^p²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-8| J: T J O'Brien| T: Ian Williams| OR: 124

5/2

From a stable that has been in fine form of late and he improved a great deal on his second handicap start to score at Worcester last time with Arthur's Gift back in second. That race looks good form with the second scoring since and he's sure to go well here although is 8lb higher.

Just Milly^h¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-7| J: S Bowen| T: J Mackie| OR: 123

8/1

Scored in a Doncaster novice last year at around this trip and has acquitted herself well since moving into handicaps without winning. Moved well through a Newbury handicaps last time (finished 5th) but the handicapper may just have her measure off this mark.

Form: 23-6225

Dovils Date³⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 10-6| J: Alan Johns| T: Tim Vaughan| OR: 122

22/1

Winner of his last three starts on the Flat he's failed to carry that sort of form over into his hurdles starts. Usually likes to lead but faces a tough test here based on his hurdles form so far this season.

Form: 1435-56

Arthur's Gift⁹^{(ex 7)}

Age: 6| Weight: 10-5| J: Tom Humphries⁽⁷⁾| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 114

13/8

Runner-up at Worcester (to Psychedelic Rock) prior to winning over the same C&D last time off a 7lb lower mark than he faces today. Open to further improvement which may well cover the rise in the weights and sure to run well here despite the rise in grade.

Forecasts

Arthur's Gift (13/8), Psychedelic Rock (5/2), River Frost (11/4), Just Milly (8/1), Applesandpierres (10/1), Cake de L'Isle (10/1), Oh Land Abloom (11/1), Dovils Date (22/1), Mister Fizz (25/1)

The highlight on the card and a fair few that are of interest in this of which RIVER FROST is likely to be the best after he showed some decent progression last year and underlined that potential with his comeback run at Chepstow (race working out well). Arthur’s Gift and Psychedelic Rock both come from stables in rude health at the moment and on their Worcester running there won’t be much between the two. Cake De L’Isle and Applesandpierres are two other that have shaped well in handicaps with the former particularly interesting on his Cheltenham run last time.
