Form: 59-P116

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Harry Reed| T: C Gordon| OR: 115| D

20/1

Broke his maiden over hurdles when winning over this trip at Warwick (good-to-soft) in May. Changed yards since and is worth a check in the market on handicap debut.

Form: P72-41

Age: 4| Weight: 11-9| J: Patrick Cowley⁽³⁾| T: Miss E C Lavelle| OR: 112| D

7/1

Returning from a break when winning a 2m handicap hurdle at Ludlow (good-to-firm) just over a month ago. Raised 5lb for that effort and interesting to see how he fares.

Form: 96-2931

Pivotal Flame²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Sean Houlihan| T: P Phelan| OR: 107

33/1

Running well in defeat on the Flat in recent times. Struggled when last in action over hurdles in December last year however and probably best watched in this contest.

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Harry Teal⁽³⁾| T: A King| OR: 107

8/1

Decent fourth at Taunton (good) over an extended 2m on handicap debut 12 months ago. Cheekpieces worn for the first time that day retained on the Flat since and is worth a check in the market on his return to hurdling.

Form: 6/474-

Nachi Falls^t²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Tom Buckley⁽¹⁰⁾| T: N J Hawke| OR: 107

Black Buble¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Stan Sheppard| T: A W Carroll| OR: 105

Maroc^p⁴⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-6| J: Robert Williams| T: Mrs N S Evans| OR: 95

12/1
