Thounder¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 12-1| J: N F Houlihan⁽¹⁰⁾| T: G & J Moore| OR: 118| BF| CD

11/8

Blunders at the third last and final flights put paid to his chances of landing a gamble here last week when finding Dyliev too good. Obvious chance of turning the tables if his jumping is any better.

Form: 14-PU23

Lord Of The Rock⁵⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: C R King| T: L A Mullaney| OR: 115| BF

15/2

Has jumped well on both starts, but paid the price for racing too freely on his last start. Goes handicapping off a fair mark if settling better.

Form: 14

Rahmah⁵²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: M D Grant| T: G Deacon| OR: 114

25/1

Had a 2-37 record on the Flat where rated around the 60 mark. Should offer more over hurdles now handicapping, but latest effort may have been flattering and that is the run on which he has been assessed.

Form: 004

Endless Credit¹⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr Aiden Blakemore⁽⁷⁾| T: L Egerton| OR: 112| D

12/1

4-17 under NH rules and potentially well-handicapped judged on his chase form. May have needed last week's run and could finish closer to Thounder this time.

Form: 1/4-16P8

Jacobite Rising¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: C Poste| T: C E Longsdon| OR: 109| D

33/1

Made all to win at Worcester in August 2017 but last of 12 on his return last week and that does not bode well.

Form: 69414-0

Dyliev^h¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: S Bowen| T: Mrs Caroline Bailey| OR: 108| CD

9/4

Rider learned from his mistake on penultimate start when leaving it a lot later to hit the front here last week. Obviously has her quirks but probable she had something in hand and hard to dismiss in her current mood.

Form: 482121

Stylish Dancer¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Bridget Andrews| T: D Skelton| OR: 108

20/1

One win in 13 starts, that coming at Cheltenham last April but not always the most resolute and gave up the ghost pretty quickly at Market Rasen when last competitive. May have needed latest but others preferred.

Form: 61-2230

Mach One⁴⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: J J Burke| T: C E Longsdon| OR: 107

16/1

Both Flat victories came on AW surfaces. Best hurdles run came on Plumpton debut and that effort, plus a Flat mark of 68, suggest he is fairly weighted here.

Form: 3P3

Los Cerritos^p,t⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-7| J: Kevin Jones⁽³⁾| T: M F Harris| OR: 96

50/1

German Group 3 winner as a two-year-old, but well held over hurdles on both starts this year after an 18-month break. Down in grade this time and should be getting fitter.

Form: 776-04

Forecasts

Thounder (11/8), Dyliev (9/4), Tierra Verde (5/1), Lord Of The Rock (15/2), Endless Credit (12/1), Mach One (16/1), Stylish Dancer (20/1), Walsingham Grange (20/1), Rahmah (25/1), Jacobite Rising (33/1), Los Cerritos (50/1)

Tierra Verde should not be far away judged on her latest run, whilst Walsingham Grange is a possible improver switched back to hurdling and with headgear now reapplied. Lord Of The Rock was too keen last time, but a Flat rating of 81 makes his initial hurdles mark potentially helpful if seetling any better. DYLIEV and Thounder were first and third here 10 days ago when the latter blundered his chance away. However, the selection won under hands and heels for this rider in a manner which suggested there was more to spare than the margin suggests.
