Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: Tom Buckley⁽¹⁰⁾| T: N J Hawke| OR: 108

7/1

Beaten 15L when third in a selling handicap hurdle at Stratford three weeks ago. Hit a flat spot that day and worth another try at this trip.

Form: 2P-3433

Affaire D'Honneur^t²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: B S Hughes| T: K Frost| OR: 100

2016 Fontwell winner for Harry Whittington showed a bit more on his latest start for this yard. Holds Take A Break on that form if staying the extra 5f.

Form: 58-09P2

Impulsive American^b²³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: T Scudamore| T: D Pipe| OR: 125

4/6

Clear pick on official ratings and a recent run on the Flat augurs well for his prospects of improving on an 8-37 career record.

Form: 4374/02

Pirolo^t,v1¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Tom Cannon| T: N J Hawke| OR: 80

50/1

Some winning form on the Flat but yet to really make his mark over hurdles, including when jumping poorly and coming home well in arrears on last two starts.

Form: 0-03077

Hartshorne Abbie^h¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-5| J: Harry Stock⁽⁵⁾| T: M Keighley

66/1

Never really competitive in four bumpers but bred for jumping (mare won over hurdles and fences). Needs to improve considerably on an inauspicious hurdling debut.

Form: 0-6869

Pac It In¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-3| J: M Hamill⁽³⁾| T: D Weston

50/1

Showed some ability in bumpers only to have looked unconvincing in both starts over hurdles and needs to jump a lot better.

Form: 0-9335P

Forecasts

Impulsive American (4/6), Affaire D'Honneur (7/2), Take A Break (7/1), Hoke Colburn (9/1), Pac It In (50/1), Pirolo (50/1), Hartshorne Abbie (66/1)

IMPULSIVE AMERICAN has been found a good opportunity to add another victory to his impressive record given the lack of credible opposition. Hoke Colburn and Take A Break look unreliable these days so Affaire D'Honneur, who was once rated 133, poses the biggest threat.
