11/10

Victorious over 3m at Ludlow in January and ran well to finish 4L third in a 2m5f handicap hurdle on good ground here in May. Drops in trip on debut over fences.

Form: 741P8-3

Twasn't The Plan^h,t¹⁶

9/1

Six race maiden was beaten 13½L when third in a novice hurdle over an extended 2m1f at Fontwell (good) earlier this month. Worth a check in the market on chase debut.

Form: 333423

Peterborough¹⁵⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: Conor Ring⁽³⁾| T: Evan Williams| OR: 108

4/1

Successful off a 1lb lower mark in a handicap hurdle at Exeter (2m1f, good-to-soft) in November last year. Well beaten in two subsequent starts however and market support would be notable on first start over fences.

Form: 320170-

Isaac Wonder¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Brendan Powell| T: M Scudamore| OR: 115

7/2

Placed three times over hurdles and ran well when beaten 1L in a novices' handicap chase over an extended 2m at Sedgefield (good) on chase debut earlier this month. One for the shortlist racing off the same mark in this contest.

Form: 5522-F2

Stephanie Sunshine^t¹²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-10| J: P J Brennan| T: Mrs S Leech| OR: 101

9/1

Good 1L second in a maiden hurdle over an extended 2m3f at Chepstow (good) in April. Disappointed in a small field at Ludlow (2m5f, good) subsequently and is an interesting contender on chase debut.

Form: U5342-3

Forecasts

Supakalanistic (11/10), Isaac Wonder (7/2), Peterborough (4/1), New Agenda (13/2), Twasn't The Plan (9/1), Stephanie Sunshine (9/1), Wenceslaus (10/1)

ISAAC WONDER performed well when runner-up on chase debut recently and he is taken to go one better than when finishing runner-up that day. The selection can get the better of Supakalanistic who is making his debut over fences while third place can go to New Agenda who carries top weight in this contest.
