5/6
Completed a hat-trick when winning by 31L on good ground over this C&D last time out. Has to concede weight all round and is a leading contender once more.

6/5
Ffos Las novice hurdle winner over 2m on good ground in May. Absent since and an interesting runner in this contest.
3
Horse silk
40/1
Fair fifth when making his return to hurdles at Worcester (2m, good) early last month. More needed if he's to register a first hurdling success on this occasion.
4
Horse silk
16/1
Point-to-point winner on yielding-to-soft ground in April. Held on both hurdles starts so far including when 19L fourth at Worcester (2m4f, good) earlier this month.

66/1
Finished runner-up off a mark of 70 on the Flat at Haydock (good-to-firm) in May. Struggled on hurdling debut however and probably best watched at present.
6
Horse silk
200/1
Beaten 38L when making her hurdling debut in a maiden contest over an extended 2m2f at Newton Abbot (good) recently. Others make more appeal.

Well beaten in three starts over hurdles in the spring. Had wind surgery subsequently and more needed on her return from a break.

Forecasts

Hatcher (5/6), Francky Du Berlais (6/5), The Tangler Barry (16/1), Pack It In (40/1), Bounderby (66/1), Call Sign Charlie (100/1), Lady Ingleby (200/1), Iona Island (200/1)

Verdict

HATCHER looks the most likely winner of this event and as such holds strong claims of completing a four-timer. Of his rivals Francky Du Berlais is the only previous hurdles winner in the field and he can claim second ahead of point-to-point winner The Tangler Barry who can improve on his hurdles debut to claim third.
  1. Hatcher
  2. Francky Du Berlais
  3. The Tangler Barry
