Cairnshill³⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-13| J: Alison Clarke⁽⁷⁾| T: Kenny Johnson| OR: 121| CD

10/1

Improved appreciably since joining this yard (2112) having his hat-trick bid foiled last time but losing nothing in defeat at Hexham (2m4f, soft). Followed up his Carlisle win with a C&D victory prior to his last start; should go well again.

Form: 5021-12

Justatenner^h²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Harry Reed⁽³⁾| T: T Davidson| OR: 120| C

7/4

Has very rarely run a bad race since joining this yard; enjoys the test this unique course provides (1212 here for this yard). Makes a quick return to action having produced a career-best over 2m6f here on Saturday; major chance again off same mark.

Form: 4527-42

Boruma²²

Age: 9| Weight: 11-8| J: B S Hughes| T: James Moffatt| OR: 116| C

5/1

Three-time winner over 2m6f around here his latest win coming on his penultimate start (had signalled a return to form four days earlier) off a much-reduced mark. Only a fair effort last time; now reunited with rider who suits him best of late.

Form: 344-313

Coillte Eile³⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: Dr R D P Newland| OR: 115| D

2/1

Like many who join this yard didn't take long to find her form scoring in a falsely-run 3m Aintree handicap hurdle. Still looks unexposed especially at staying trips (has a turn of foot also); trainer good record at gaining back-to-back victories.

Form: 7562-51

Point N Shoot^b⁴⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-6| J: Tom Buckley⁽⁷⁾| T: N J Hawke| OR: 114

6/1

Relishes these long-distance handicap hurdles landing two of his last three such events the latest after a wind op at Fontwell over 3m2f. Up 7lb for that win he'll need to up his game again to win off a career-high mark, not written off though.

Form: P531P-1

Aptly Put^t¹⁴⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Callum Bewley| T: James Moffatt| OR: 108

14/1

Makers his stable debut (sold for £6,000 in May) having shown some fair form for Richard Spencer although he does look fairly one-paced. Not seen for a fair while he might just need this off a mark that doesn't allow him a lot of leeway.

Form: 35/7432-

David John²²

Age: 8| Weight: 10-13| J: Sam Coltherd⁽³⁾| T: J K Hunter| OR: 107

66/1

Scored for his previous yard (Tom Lacey) over a staying trip at Newton Abbot just over a year ago, produced two sound efforts after that. Failed to come close to matching that form since in all bar one run for this yard; below form last time (C&D).

Form: 23526-7

Forecasts

Justatenner (7/4), Coillte Eile (2/1), Boruma (5/1), Point N Shoot (6/1), Cairnshill (10/1), Aptly Put (14/1), David John (66/1)

No doubt about the positive start that Coillte Eile has made for the Newland yard a phenomenon that’s not unusual and with the trainer having a fine record with horses following up wins she must enter the equation. However, she doesn’t have any experience around this unique course and JUSTATENNER who has a fine record around this course since he joined this yard is taken to go one better than his effort here on Saturday over a shorter trip. Brian Hughes teaming up with Boruma again must be seen as a positive while Cairnshill is another to have experienced a win around here and must go well.
