Avocadeau^p⁴⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: David Noonan| T: W S Kittow| OR: 102

8/1

Ran well when finishing 21L third in a novice hurdle over an extended 2m5f at Newton Abbot (good) last month. Interesting upped in trip on handicap debut.

Form: 853

Tactical Manoeuvre^t¹⁸⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: T Scudamore| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR: 100| C

8/1

Brought down over fences in April and disappointed over 3m1f on his hurdles return the following month. Drop in trip should suit off a mark 2lb lower than for his most recent success.

Form: 1323F-7

Neetside^t²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Charlie Hammond⁽⁵⁾| T: David Dennis| OR: 97

13/2

11 race maiden ran a decent race in finishing 14L sixth over an extended 2m2f at Stratford (good) on last months seasonal debut. Worth another try at this distance.

Form: 44945-6

Love The Leader⁶^{(ex 7)}

Age: 10| Weight: 11-8| J: Tom Cannon| T: J Farrelly| OR: 89| D

2/1

Impressed in winning by 5L over 3m2f at Fontwell (good) last week. Penalised for that success and likely to play a leading role once more.

Form: 990-091

Getadollar⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Rex Dingle⁽⁷⁾| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR: 90

20/1

Fair third on good-to-firm ground in a maiden hurdle over an extended 2m2f at Exeter (good-to-firm) last month. Well beaten on handicap debut over the same C&D subsequently however.

Form: 375730

Ruby Fool^p,h²⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 10-9| J: M G Nolan| T: R Mitford-Slade| OR: 83| D

8/1

Had wind surgery in the spring but finished well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Ffos Las (3m, good-to-soft) on last months seasonal and handicap debut. Others make more appeal.

Form: 1347-67

Georgina Joy^b,t¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-1| J: Tom Buckley⁽¹⁰⁾| T: N J Hawke| OR: 75

5/2

Broke her maiden when winning over an extended 3m1f at Hereford (good-to-firm) earlier this month. Blinkers worn for the first time that day are retained and promising conditional jockey keeps the ride.

Form: 352381

Nenergy's Quest^t²³

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: R P McLernon| T: Mrs R Ford| OR: 66

33/1

Maiden after ten starts and finished well beaten over 2m1f at Exeter (good-to-firm) last month when returning from a break. Stamina to prove over this distance.

Form: 4400-P0

Forecasts

Love The Leader (2/1), Georgina Joy (5/2), Neetside (13/2), Ruby Fool (8/1), Avocadeau (8/1), Tactical Manoeuvre (8/1), Getadollar (20/1), Nenergy's Quest (33/1)

GEORGINA JOY broke her maiden last time and with that victory behind her she is taken to complete a double by landing the opening race on the card. The selection is open to improvement and can see off her rivals here with fellow last time out scorer Love The Leader capable of chasing her home. Third place can go to Tactical Manoeuvre who has won off a higher mark in the past.
