West Class^h1²⁷⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Ryan Winks⁽⁵⁾| T: P Winks| OR: 105

20/1

Has shown relatively little in five starts towards the end of a summer jumping campaign last season. First time hood unlikely to bring about the required improvement here.

Form: 7/3326P-

Character Onesie⁵⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: Lorcan Murtagh⁽⁵⁾| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 104

11/2

Modest novice hurdler but may be on a handy handicap mark currently. Not one to totally leave out of calculations.

Form: 5F283-

Admiral Kid^h1,t1⁶⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: T Scudamore| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 102

8/1

Has been slightly disappointing over hurdles so far given he won his only bumper. Has failed to complete in three of his six starts. Looks a tall order on form shown.

Form: F4F5/P8-

Hatem^b⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: P J Brennan| T: C R Dore| OR: 102

4/1

Second of six runners beaten ¾L in a Fakenham selling hurdle earlier this month when claimed out of the Nick Littmoden yard. Tough ask on stable debut.

Form: 4/5469-2

Petapenko^b⁸⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: B S Hughes| T: Miss P Robson| OR: 96

9/4

Lightly raced gelding who is on to his third trainer following spells with Malcolm Jefferson and Donald McCain. Will need to improve to figure.

Form: 3044/75-

Spader^t²³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-9| J: Bridget Andrews⁽³⁾| T: D Skelton| OR: 88

9/2

Struggled since returning to the track in February and now finds himself 14lbs lower than his initial handicap rating but requires a market check from in form stable.

Form: F80P70-

Rising Tide^t,v1¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-7| J: Patrick Cowley⁽⁵⁾| T: Laura Morgan| OR: 86

20/1

Well beaten in three previous hurdle starts before below-par displays over the larger obstacles. Hard to fancy despite appearing in first time visor.

Form: 445/0P8-

Simply Business^t⁵¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Jonathan England| T: S England| OR: 77WS

6/1

Failed to build on a promising run at Sedgefield last time out when pulling up following a shuddering mistake at the same track in March. Wind operation since and worth a market check in this company.

Forecasts

Petapenko (9/4), Salix (7/2), Hatem (4/1), Spader (9/2), Character Onesie (11/2), Simply Business (6/1), Admiral Kid (8/1), West Class (20/1), Petrucci (20/1), Rising Tide (20/1)

The Simon Munir and Isaac Souede owned SALIX is expected to improve here on his handicap debut following two low-key maiden performances recently. Character Onesie was a solid third of nine last time out in a Musselburgh handicap hurdle in March and can improve here to hit the frame along with Spader from the in form Dan Skelton yard.
