Sole previous success came in a soft ground handicap hurdle over an extended 1m7f at Leicester in January 2017. Probably best watched having pulled up at Southwell (3m, good) when last in action in the spring.

Alexander The Grey^t²⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-9| J: Kielan Woods| T: D Killahena & G McPherson| OR: 102| BF

7/2

24 race maiden has run well to finish runner-up over an extended 2m3f at Stratford the last twice. Beaten a neck on good-to-soft ground last time out and is a notable runner dropping in trip.

Form: F-27422

Pointed And Sharp^t1³⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: M G Nolan| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 102| CD

5/1

C&D winner finished a good second in a handicap hurdle over an extended 2m5f at Newton Abbot (good) in May. Pulled up back over fences at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) last time out and tongue tie tried for the first time down in distance.

Form: F8F-32P

Double Court²⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 100| CD

3/1

Run well on both chase starts so far following up a 2L second at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) with a 5L victory over this C&D on good-to-soft ground just under a month ago. Bold show likely despite an 8lb rise in the weights.

Form: 4310-21

Tempuran^b1¹¹

Age: 10| Weight: 11-0| J: L Treadwell| T: A Ralph| OR: 93| D

5/1

Held in a selling hurdle last time. First chase start in over four years comes off a mark 15lb lower than when finishing 13L seventh over an extended 2m3f in a handicap hurdle at Bangor (good) earlier this month.

Form: PP-2675

Hillview Lad^p,t⁵⁶

Age: 11| Weight: 10-8| J: Sean Houlihan⁽³⁾| T: Sheila Lewis| OR: 87| CD

7/1

Registered his first victory under Rules when winning over C&D on good ground at the start of June. Beaten 40L upped to 2m4f here the following month and the return to this trip looks likely to suit.

Form: 36-2516

St Merryn⁴⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: Charlie Hammond⁽³⁾| T: B R Summers| OR: 64

28/1

16 race maiden was beaten 37L in a handicap chase over an extended 2m3f at Stratford (good) last time out. More needed if he is to take this event from out of the handicap.

Form: 69P-547

Triggywinkle^b,t⁶⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 10-0| J: Edward Austin⁽⁷⁾| T: L Hurley| OR: 62| D

100/1

Dual chase winner but out of form since joining this yard in the spring including when pulled up at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) last time out. Racing from out of the handicap.

Form: P4544P

Forecasts

Double Court (3/1), Alexander The Grey (7/2), Pointed And Sharp (5/1), Tempuran (5/1), Hillview Lad (7/1), Master Vintage (9/1), Deise Vu (25/1), St Merryn (28/1), Triggywinkle (100/1)

DOUBLE COURT has been in good form since switched to fences and he can register a second chase victory by taking the opening race on the card. Pointed And Sharp is an interesting runner and he can take second dropping back in trip while third can go to the maiden Alexander The Grey who has placed on three of his five starts this season.
