River Of Intrigue⁸³

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: P J Brennan| T: F O'Brien| OR: 107

9/2

Won once for Nicky Henderson and caused a surprise when he did. Since then his career has been blotted by broken promises. Better effort in Stratford novice 2m5f in June when last spotted.

Form: 42356-3

Roll The Dough^t⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 12-0| J: Sean Houlihan⁽⁵⁾| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 107| CD

6/4

Seemingly improved for the wind operation, twice placed at Warwick in the spring and duly scored over C&D last week on return from a break. Gone up 6lb but likely has leading chance in follow-up bid.

Form: 4563-21

Highbury High^p,t²⁶

Age: 11| Weight: 11-12| J: N D Fehily| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 105| D

7/2

Heading for veteran stages now, beaten only 6L over C&D in July however and run another sound race over timber at Worcester last month. Likely has place claims at best though.

Form: 6P-5345

Jonagold^t²²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams| OR: 95

13/2

Just the one win from 13 so far over fences, coming at Bangor (2m4½f, good to soft) in October last year. As many poor efforts as good ones and unconvincing in three recent hurdles starts lately. Other preferred.

Form: 15F-396

Mister Mister¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-11| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: D L Williams| OR: 90

12/1

Managed a win over hurdles at Worcester but found a mark of 115 too stiff to cope with in two outings last season. Looks harshly assessed on that evidence, fell early on reappearance at Sedgefield 11 days ago.

Form: 5-5446F

Ruby Russet^p,t¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-5| J: T Scudamore| T: C L Tizzard| OR: 84

11/1

Fairly modest maiden hurdler, seemed back in reasonable heart on her second try over fences when runner-up at Fontwell 11 days ago. Must build on that to get involved at the death here.

Form: 370042

Forecasts

Roll The Dough (6/4), Highbury High (7/2), River Of Intrigue (9/2), Jonagold (13/2), Ruby Russet (11/1), Mister Mister (12/1), Cinevator (25/1)

The Philip Hobbs-trained ROLL THE DOUGH has proved hard on punters in the past but he came good over C&D last time out and finds a good chance to double-up now with his rider offsetting the bulk of his extra weight in a contest that lacks depth. Ex-Seven Barrows inmate River Of Intrigue may be the danger off a short break while Highbury High and Ruby Russet have minor claims.
