Double Treasure^t¹²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-13| J: Max Kendrick⁽⁵⁾| T: Jamie Snowden| OR: 140| CD

1/3

Good 7L second in a C&D novice hurdle on good ground earlier this month. Returning from a break that day and is one for the shortlist having won twice over hurdles already including over C&D last June.

Form: 0-112P2

El Hageb Rose³⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: J E Moore| T: G & J Moore| OR: 103

5/2

Decent effort in finishing 5L second over an extended 2m3f in a novices' handicap hurdle at Chepstow (good-to-soft) just over a month ago. Interesting if improving on that effort.

Solar Glory²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: James Davies| T: N J Gifford

25/1

Beaten 16½L when finishing third in a maiden hurdle over 2m3f on good going here last time out. Shapes as if this step up in distance will suit and is interesting in this contest.

Forecasts

Double Treasure (1/3), El Hageb Rose (5/2), Solar Glory (25/1), Downe Milking Lane (66/1)

DOUBLE TREASURE has shown winning form already and he looks capable of defying a double penalty to register a victory in this novices' hurdle. The selection ran well over C&D last time out and can get the better of the locally-trained Solar Glory who should appreciate this extra distance. El Hageb Rose ran well in handicap company last time out and he can claim third.
