8/1

Placed second in a 2m four-year-old hurdle at Huntingdon (good) in March. Fell mid-race on handicap debut at Warwick (2m, good) earlier this month and market support would be notable.

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Page Fuller⁽³⁾| T: Miss Z C Davison| OR: 100

33/1

Promising 13L seventh in a maiden hurdle over this C&D on good ground in the spring. Useful conditional jockey in the saddle on handicap debut.

6/1

Registered a first hurdling victory when successful by 2L in a good-to-firm ground C&D handicap event a month ago. More needed following a 6lb rise in the weights.

Form: 99-F961

Andapa¹³¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-10| J: T J O'Brien| T: M Roberts| OR: 98| C| D

16/1

Dual bumper winner including at this track and was placed in a novice hurdle over this C&D on good ground in April. Disappointed twice subsequently and it's interesting to see how she fares on handicap debut following a break.

Form: 1F63-65

Outrath^b²⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-6| J: D A Jacob| T: J & S Best| OR: 94| D

7/1

Beaten a short-head in a 2m handicap hurdle at Worcester (good) on his penultimate start but finished a well held seventh behind Magen's Moon over this C&D subsequently. Market support would be notable.

Form: 554027

Chain Smoker²³²

8/1

Placed in a point-to-point in Ireland but has struggled in four starts under Rules and has had wind surgery since pulling up on handicap debut at Huntingdon (3m1f, good) in March.

Velvet Voice^t²³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-7| J: C Gethings| T: S Edmunds| OR: 81

5/2

Form: PP55-83

Ron Waverly^t²⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 10-0| J: M Goldstein| T: Miss M P Bryant| OR: 69

100/1

24 race maiden was returning from nearly three years off the track when well beaten behind Magen's Moon here a month ago. Others make more appeal racing from out of the handicap.

Form: 73F79/0

Forecasts

Velvet Voice (5/2), Coby Nine (3/1), Magen's Moon (6/1), High Up In The Air (6/1), Outrath (7/1), Furia D'Oudairies (8/1), Chain Smoker (8/1), Andapa (16/1), Hab Sab (20/1), Verbitude (25/1), O'Rahilly (33/1), Maytheorsebewithu (66/1), Ron Waverly (100/1)

COBY NINE ended last season in good form and he can make a winning reappearance in this competitive looking handicap hurdle. The selection can get the better of his rivals here with top weight High Up In The Air, capable of claiming second spot for a good local yard on handicap debut while third can go to Andapa who seems to save her best for this venue.
