2/1
Benefited from a drop in the weights/return to hurdling when scoring cosily over C&D recently and wasn't disgraced when fourth to My Lady Grey here next time. Should give another good account.

Useful stayer at the best on the AW on Flat. Has offered some encouragement over hurdles but returned from 8 months off with a dismal display on handicap debut at Bangor.

Fair handicap hurdler/maiden chaser for Donald McCain who was below form on his sole start in a hunter for A. B. Leyshon in 2018 and was pulled up in a point recently. Hard to fancy.

Looks better over this sort of trip and made all in good style over C&D on reappearance. Should give another bold bid under a positive ride.

Smart at best on the Flat, but tailed off in that sphere in February and mark looks harsh based on what he's achieved over hurdles.

9/2
Three wins from 4 runs last season and yet to be asked for effort when brought down at Southwell on last month's reappearance, so he's one to have in mind.

Little impact in bumper/novice hurdles earlier this year. Could do better now handicapping.

Modest form over hurdles/fences for Kim Bailey/Rebecca Curtis and may come on for his reappearance (fifth at Uttoxeter) for yet another stable. Not ruled out.

Poor hurdler but the step up in trip produced some improvement when third of 8 to Templepark in novice over at this course 16 days ago. Considered.

Forecasts

My Lady Grey (13/8), Sammylou (2/1), Layerthorpe (9/2), Stonemadforspeed (15/2), General Picton (14/1), Alanjou (16/1), Financial Conduct (20/1), Lucky Purchase (20/1), Royal Martian (28/1), Sandro Botticelli (33/1), Shantou Tiger (80/1)

Verdict

MY LADY GREY was not for catching over this C&D 4 weeks ago and can repeat the feat despite a 7-lb rise. Sammylou, who was fourth that day, could get a bit closer on more favourable terms and Layerthorpe is also a threat if on his game.

  1. MY LADY GREY
  2. SAMMYLOU (IRE)
  3. LAYERTHORPE (IRE)
