8/1

Beaten 6L when finishing runner-up in a four runner C&D handicap hurdle on good-to-soft ground early last month. This looks a much more competitive contest however.

Form: 1-76652

Age: 10| Weight: 11-3| J: C O'Farrell| T: Mrs Dianne Sayer| OR: 89| CD

5/1

Not beaten far when finishing fifth over an extended 2m7f at Chepstow (soft) last time out. Yet to run over this distance and interesting to see how he performs.

Form: 4-79975

Lammturner^p¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-10| J: Brendan Powell| T: Miss J E Foster| OR: 82| CD

3/1

Form: 6P4661

Millrose Bell^p²²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-3| J: Philip Armson⁽⁷⁾| T: V Thompson| OR: 75

16/1

19 race maiden but has placed on two of her last three starts including on heavy ground over an extended 2m7f at Hexham last month. Interesting contender in this event.

Forecasts

Lammturner (3/1), Chanceanotherfive (9/2), Boher Lad (5/1), Point N Shoot (6/1), Onwiththeparty (8/1), Witness (8/1), Broadway Belle (10/1), Midnight Bliss (10/1), Millrose Bell (16/1), Taras Day (33/1), Royal Salute (50/1)

LAMMTURNER can follow-up her victory last time out by taking the final race on the card, the staying handicap hurdle. Midnight Bliss returns to hurdles following a spell over fences and she can take second ahead of Chanceanotherfive who ran well off this mark last time out.
