Silk Run^t⁴⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Ned Fox⁽¹⁰⁾| T: T Lacey| OR: 117

6/1

Well backed when winning at Chepstow back in April and that would set a strong standard. Only 1lb higher but tailed off and disappointing in three starts since. Questions to answer now.

Form: 371-055

Skewiff¹⁴¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: Isabel Williams⁽⁶⁾| T: Evan Williams| OR: 115| D

6/5

Ready winner at Uttoxeter over fences in January and following a disappointing Hereford run, she was going well when falling three out at Haydock in April. Reverts to hurdles on a winning mark and a likely challenger.

Form: 6P715F-

Prettylittlething^p⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 10-4| J: Philip Donovan⁽⁶⁾| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 95

15/8

Returned from a 518-day absence with a win and a second over fences before struggling off a revised mark. Returns to hurdles on a very high mark although stable remain in very good form and there's no depth in this small field.

Form: 885/125

Westerberry⁴⁵⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: Page Fuller| T: J W Mullins| OR: 85

13/2

Had jumping issues in three poor runs over fences and previous hurdling form was uninspiring. Hard to make a case for.

Form: 06P/F38-

Forecasts

Skewiff (6/5), Prettylittlething (15/8), Silk Run (6/1), Westerberry (13/2)

SKEWIFF returns to hurdles on a good mark and was in strong contention when falling late over the larger obstacles last time. This represents a very good confidence boosting opportunity. Prettylittlething comes from a stable in fine form and although he's not attractively weighted, this is a race lacking any sort of depth. Silk Run can chase them home.
