Mr Muddle^v²⁹

Age: 11| Weight: 12-7| J: J E Moore| T: G & J Moore| OR: 102| CD

9/2

Having his first run at this lowly level after finishing last on his two most recent outings. Hard to recommend on those showings.

Form: 53-2555

Torhousemuir¹¹⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: S Thomas| OR: 91

4/1

Would be considered capable off this mark if turning a blind eye to his most recent run. An absence since then may indicate there was a problem and a positive move in the market may indicate if that was the case.

Form: 894-F39

No No Cardinal¹¹⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 11-6| J: James Davies| T: Mark Gillard| OR: 87| D

16/1

Would be more of a threat from this mark if conditions turn quicker than predicted. Current mark is also a few pounds above his most competitive range of 80-83.

Form: 217924

Show's Over^t,v³⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: T J O'Brien| T: Tim Vaughan| OR: 82| BF

3/1

Due to be reunited with his last winning rider and is below that day's mark. Good effort last time and has to go on the shortlist.

Form: 373PP2

Yourholidayisover^b,t³⁵

Age: 11| Weight: 10-11| J: P J Brennan| T: T R Gretton| OR: 78| CD

6/1

Record now stands at 2-64 but her last win came over C&D in this grade and off the same mark.

Form: 324364

Brother Bennett^p,t²⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 10-11| J: Page Fuller⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss Z C Davison| OR: 78| D

4/1

Irish bumper winner all the way back in 2014, not added to that in 19 runs since. Lacks gears but will be happier going left-handed this time having struggled to get involved at Huntingdon last time.

Form: 4-34365

Millen Dollar Man^p²⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 10-5| J: Jamie Bargary| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR: 72

12/1

Record reads 1-38 and his jumping has been an issue on his two previous starts over fences. Not one to enthuse over.

Form: 797456

Forecasts

Show's Over (3/1), Brother Bennett (4/1), Torhousemuir (4/1), Mr Muddle (9/2), Yourholidayisover (6/1), Millen Dollar Man (12/1), No No Cardinal (16/1)

Few of these have appealing profiles but the booking of Tom O'Brien is a positive move for SHOW'S OVER who benefitted from a fine tactical ride from the Irishman to gain his last success. He is below that winning mark and appeared to be coming to hand last time. Torhousemuir would rate a danger if bouncing back from a poor run last time and Yourholidayisover is notoriously difficult to win with but she will get few easier opportunities to add to her tally.
