Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr Cameron Wadge⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 106

14/1

Well backed when fourth on hurdling debut 18 months ago but didn't build on that in two subsequent runs and opening handicap mark looks stiff on evidence to date.

Form: 26/470-

Calivigny^v¹⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 11-12| J: Mr Kit Alexander⁽⁵⁾| T: N W Alexander| OR: 104| C| D

2/1

Having first run over hurdles since 2016 when creditable third on comeback run at Kelso last month. Has decent track record and should strip fitter today so entitles to play a part.

Form: 1345P-3

Mahler Supreme⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: Jonathon Bewley⁽³⁾| T: G Bewley| OR: 103

11/2

Stepped up on comeback run when fifth at Kelso on Saturday and quick reappearance in weaker contest today. Relatively lightly raced and chance there is more to come.

Form: 6354-P5

Lady Kyria^h²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: Thomas Dowson| T: P A Kirby| OR: 103

9/1

Newcastle win over 2m in March but proved she stays this far when third at Fakenham in May. Fit from the Flat with a second at Catterick last month on similar ground.

Form: 3316-3P

Anjilina^t1³⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-10| J: A W Short⁽³⁾| T: Caroline Mccaldin| OR: 102

25/1

Irish raider who showed some aptitude for hurdling when second on soft ground over this trip at Sedgefield in March. Little in two runs since but now handicapping and market watch advised.

Form: 5426-0

Southeast Rose²⁵⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: R D Day| T: M Todhunter| OR: 95

10/1

No form in three novice runs last winter but showed more when fourth on good ground handicap debut at Musselburgh in February. Not seen since has to prove herself on ground this soft.

Chosen Flame⁴⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: Craig Nichol| T: R Dobbin| OR: 93

7/1

Point-to-point winner 18 months ago but has showed next to nothing since going hurdling though form of the stable is a plus so may be worth a market watch.

Form: 1665P-9

Hot Gossip²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: C O'Farrell| T: Mrs Dianne Sayer| OR: 80

6/1

Best effort was when 2L second in similar event over C&D a year ago. Off the track until Carlisle last month so presumably had issues but should come on for that and interesting back at the venue of her standout run.

Form: 0V652-6

Elixer^p1²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: Lorcan Murtagh⁽³⁾| T: F P Murtagh| OR: 73

8/1

Moderate maiden who has yet to reach the frame over hurdles and first time cheek pieces need to transform on evidence to date.

Form: P84777

Forecasts

Calivigny (2/1), Mahler Supreme (11/2), Hot Gossip (6/1), Chosen Flame (7/1), Elixer (8/1), Lady Kyria (9/1), Southeast Rose (10/1), Timesawaiting (14/1), Anjilina (25/1)

In the belief that she may take a step forward from her Carlisle comeback last month, a chance is taken with HOT GOSSIP on the return to the track where she put in her career best a year ago. Mahler Supreme will appreciate the drop in grade having showed a bit more at the weekend while Calivigny usually runs his race at this track and completes the short list.
