Chief Sittingbull^p1,t⁴⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-1| J: K T O'Neill| T: A W Carroll| OR: 48

8/1

Maiden after nine attempts, but shaped encouragingly when fifth of 13 in a first-time tongue tie at Wolverhampton. That aid remains and if the fitting of cheekpieces ekes out a little extra he may be able to get involved.

Form: 887-95

(9)

Dolphin Village^h⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 9-1| J: P Mulrennan| T: S A Harris| OR: 47| D

6/1

Winner of nine races, including a handicap over this distance at Wolverhampton last month. Fair chance at these weights and knows how to get the job done.

Form: 438-515

(4)

Late For The Sky³⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Finley Marsh⁽³⁾| T: Mrs Stella Barclay| OR: 41

50/1

Lightly-raced mare who has failed to cut any ice in four starts. No obvious reason why that is about to change despite this being a weak race.

Form: 807-9

(6)

Mr Frankie^p²⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 9-1| J: E J Walsh| T: R Brotherton| OR: 45

20/1

Only one win in 37 races, but last three runs over shorter distances have been respectable. Has yet to prove this sort of distance is what he needs.

Form: 299-637

(2)

Murhib^h²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-1| J: R Kingscote| T: Mrs L Richards| OR: 44

4/1

Maiden who has been placed twice in 11 races. Only fair form in recent starts and more is needed if he is to make a serious impact.

Form: 03-8440

Sir Dylan^h⁴⁹⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 9-1| J: L P Keniry| T: P Gundry| OR: 48| CD

16/1

Veteran who boasts a superior record over hurdles than on the Flat. Not disgraced over this trip at Wolverhampton when last seen in October, 2017, and will probably need this return to action.

Form: 9/20866-

(5)

First Call^p⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: S Donohoe| T: Ian Williams| OR: 49

13/8

Best effort so far when second of eight in a 1m2f handicap at Chelmsford recently. Clear chance if able to replicate that display over this longer trip.

Form: 8034-02

(10)

More Harry³⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: S W Kelly| T: Martin Smith| OR: 37

50/1

Beaten out of sight in two runs for current trainer since leaving Neil Mulholland's yard. Plenty to do at these weights on official ratings.

Form: 9076-90

(3)

Passing Clouds²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Gabriele Malune⁽³⁾| T: M J Attwater| OR: 44

11/2

Maiden after 16 races, but latest run over 1m3f at this venue was a decent effort. Career record makes him hard to fancy, however.

Form: 0558-04

(7)

Sigrid Nansen^p,t²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Rossa Ryan| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR: 50

16/1

No wins in 16 starts and not at her best recently, but best form gives her a chance against some ordinary rivals. Third of 12 over C&D in September reads well and a repeat of that effort would give her sound claims.

Form: 43369-9

Forecasts

First Call (13/8), Murhib (4/1), Passing Clouds (11/2), Dolphin Village (6/1), Chief Sittingbull (8/1), Sigrid Nansen (16/1), Sir Dylan (16/1), Mr Frankie (20/1), Late For The Sky (50/1), More Harry (50/1)

Dolphin Village may be getting on a bit, but knows where the winning post is if given the chance which is more than can be said for most of his rivals. However, in FIRST CALL he faces a rival who has hinted at better and the gelding hails from a stable which places its horses to great effect. Sigrid Nansen boasts form which gives her every chance, while Chief Sittingbull may do better in first-time cheekpieces.
