Great Hall⁵⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 10-0| J: Darragh Keenan⁽⁵⁾| T: M Quinn| OR: 80| D

25/1

Veteran who is hard to fancy after three recent laboured efforts at on this course. Losing run now stands at 14.

Form: 366-509

Winged Spur²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: Harry Bentley| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 79| D

12/1

Difficult filly to catch right and followed her Lingfield win in early June with a trio of tame efforts since . Claims on best form though predicting that isn't easy.

Cubswin¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: J Quinn| T: N B King| OR: 78| D

10/1

Newton Abbot success latest her third hurdles race of the calendar year. Long time since she has been seen on the level but 2-7 record shows that she mustn't be taken lightly and hurdles form suggests she has improved.

Form: 351/12-6

Oh It's Saucepot¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: J Mitchell| T: C F Wall| OR: 77| C

3/1

Has not been successful since she completed a hat-trick in 2017. Her performances so far this season have progressively got better however and second to an easy winner at Windsor latest further evidence she's off a competitive mark.

Form: 28-7432

Holy Kingdom⁷⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: L Morris| T: Tom Clover| OR: 82

11/4

Still a maiden but second in last three starts including 2L defeat over C&D last time out. Should again be knocking on the door here and rates a leading contender.

Form: 5-6222

Buckland Boy²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: S Donohoe| T: C Fellowes| OR: 72| BF| D

6/1

Twice a winner over this trip at Thirsk this season and latest effort when a beaten fav at Haydock can probably be ignored as he appeared a non-stayer upped to 1m6f. Back over 1m4f he can resume progress and make a bold bid.

Form: 27-1918

Jawshan^p¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: P Mathers| T: Ian Williams| OR: 66

33/1

11-race maiden ran really well at Epsom two starts back to be second but was below that level latest. Others more compelling.

Form: 24-0626

Australis^b1²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: David Egan| T: R Varian| OR: 75

3/1

Supported into favouritism but just denied at Yarmouth two starts back. No match for 10L winner when fourth last time out but best may yet be to come and perhaps first-time blinkers can help.

Forecasts

Holy Kingdom (11/4), Oh It's Saucepot (3/1), Australis (3/1), Buckland Boy (6/1), Cubswin (10/1), Winged Spur (12/1), Low Profile (14/1), Great Hall (25/1), Jawshan (33/1)

The recent hurdles form of CUBSWIN suggests her a much improved mare so she is taken to show similar improvement now back on the Flat and take this contest for a fourth 2019 win. Three-year-olds Holy Kingdom who was second over C&D latest and Australis for the prolific Roger Varian stable are obvious dangers.
