Whoshotwho¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: Dr R D P Newland| OR: 130| CD

7/4

Rewarded for a string of consistent efforts when winning well here over C&D two weeks ago. Up 6lb for that but still has potential to do better and is in rude health.

Form: 322-321

Florrie Boy⁷⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: Jamie Bargary| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 127

5/1

Returning from 18 months on the sidelines when well held at Haydock (2m7f, good) in May. That should have blown away the cobwebs and this shorter trip should suit better. Every chance of a better showing here.

Our Three Sons^p¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: Page Fuller⁽⁵⁾| T: Jamie Snowden| OR: 125

6/1

Won on chasing debut at Towcester before finishing a remote second to the potentially smart Diakali at Fontwell. Ran well on handicap debut last time and sound claims once again.

Form: 124-122

Royal Village³⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: T J O'Brien| T: Ian Williams| OR: 125

3/1

Won three races in the 2016/17 season for Philip Hobbs including hurdles at Worcester and Perth (2m4f-2m7f). Has returned from a ten-month absence to run two solid races this summer and should be cherry ripe now.

Form: 21/15-44

Winner Massagot²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 122

16/1

Looked to have a big future at one stage but things have gone wrong along the way. Blew up on stable debut at Worcester last time but he would have needed that and dangerous to dismiss for yard that do so well with this type

Form: 9324P/6

Soupy Soups⁷⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: R T Dunne| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 116WS

14/1

Chasing form has not got anywhere near what he was achieving over hurdles. As a result his mark is tumbling. Once again jumping errors were an issue at Towcester last time and needs to do much more. Had a wind operation since his last run.

Form: 01/68F-P

Dreamcatching⁴⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: S Bowen| T: P F Nicholls| OR: 115| C

9/1

Successful three times over hurdles in 2017 but struggled since switching to fences. Handicap mark is falling as a result and he represents a leading yard in this.

Form: 11/75P-5

Oscar Blue⁶⁴⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 10-11| J: N de Boinville| T: B Ellison| OR: 115

33/1

Useful hurdler who's sole chase run came on his last start back in October 2016. Clearly had issues and likely to need this so hard to fancy unless the market screams his name.

Forecasts

Whoshotwho (7/4), Royal Village (3/1), Florrie Boy (5/1), Our Three Sons (6/1), Dreamcatching (9/1), Soupy Soups (14/1), Winner Massagot (16/1), Oscar Blue (33/1)

Winner Massagot has had a few problems but he looked to have a decent future at one stage. Dan Skelton is sure to get to the bottom of him at some stage so he is very much respected. OUR THREE SONS has improved with each start over fences so far and can gain a well deserved success here.
