Billy Flight³³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Thomas Dowson⁽³⁾| T: N Wilson| OR: 97| D

80/1

Previous attempts over fences have scarcely been encouraging, and he was pulled-up on stable debut over hurdles at Wetherby last time out. Will do well not to finish last of these.

Form: 7678PP

Impulsive Star¹³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: Brendan Powell| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 139| BF| CD

6/5

Fell when sent off favourite for another small-field affair at this course last time out but was going very well at the time and as long as he doesn't show any ill-effects from the fall he looks the one to beat here.

Form: 14110-F

Just Minded⁴⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Danny Cook| T: J Parkinson & S Smith| OR: 119| BF

11/2

Has failed to complete two starts over fences so far which is an obvious concern and also has something to find with the best of these based on hurdles form.

Form: 3312-FP

Three Ways^p,t³³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: G Sheehan| T: Jamie Snowden

5/4

Has managed two seconds in two chases so far, both of which have been sound efforts. Also had some fair form over hurdles and has a strong chance in another small-field affair.

Form: 5418-22

Forecasts

Impulsive Star (6/5), Three Ways (5/4), Just Minded (11/2), Billy Flight (80/1)

Barring a similar accident to last time, this can go to IMPULSIVE STAR. Neil Mulholland's representative was sent off favourite for a similar race at this course last time out when falling shortly after a fence (despite initially appearing to have jumped it well). So long as there''s no repeat of that he has shown the form over hurdles to win a race of this nature. Three Ways has been runner-up in his two chases so far and can fill that place again, ahead of Just Minded, who will struggle to match the first two but should be third best.
