Lightly Squeeze²⁰⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-3| J: S Bowen| T: H Fry| OR: 77| C

5/1

Useful handicap hurdler, progressed well last season (every chance when fell last in Betfair Hurdle when last seen). Potentially well treated back on the Flat and lots to like.

Form: 7468/14-

Repetitio^h²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: R Kingscote| T: N J Hawke| OR: 74| BF

3/1

Made good strides over hurdles last season and done well back on the level this summer, winning at Chepstow (2m) and then placed in C&D and Ripon contests. Can go well again.

Form: 69/9123

Hawridge Flyer⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-12| J: J F Egan| T: B R Millman| OR: 72

10/3

Decisive winner of 12f Newmarket handicap on final 2018 start. Missed all of last year but back to his best in messy contest last week. Task now is to back that up.

Form: 21/7962

Follow Intello^b1¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: Callum Shepherd| T: C F Wall| OR: 71| CD

14/1

C&D winner last year but never been the easiest to get a handle on and he disappointed at Salisbury last time. First-time blinkers should help his cause.

Form: 160-056

Billy No Mates^h1⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Connor Beasley| T: M Dods| OR: 71

16/1

Long time since his last win but has dropped in the weights. Went close at Beverley (2m) in July but too free again both starts since. Hood tried.

Form: 550256

Cool Possibility^p,t⁷¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Oliver Stammers⁽⁷⁾| T: R Menzies| OR: 71| D

66/1

Thrived on the AW before the shutdown, completing hat-trick over 2m at Southwell in March. Probably needed his comeback here in June but hasn't been seen again in the meantime.

Form: 666-119

Trumpet Man¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: P J McDonald| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 76

10/1

Maiden seen to good effect on heavy ground behind runaway winner at Catterick (14f) last week, beaten 10 lengths in second. More needed here.

Form: 25-0472

(1)

Herman Hesse^p⁵¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Shane Gray| T: D O'Meara| OR: 70

33/1

Fair maiden, unable to score in 5 runs for John Gosden at 2 yrs and again in 3 starts in France this time around. Goes handicapping up in trip for another new trainer with stamina to prove.

Form: 438-395

(3)

Be Easy^b1²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: C Lee| T: E Walker| OR: 68

22/1

Has looked all stamina in 3 runs so far. Blinkers go on and no surprise if she has a race in her.

Form: 447

(2)

Red Derek²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: J Quinn| T: L Williamson| OR: 58

16/1

Maiden who leaves the impression this sort of trip will suit but he'll surely find much easier handicaps.

Form: 0-93255

(4)

Queen Of Camelot⁶⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: A Mullen| T: Jedd O'Keeffe| OR: 62| BF

6/1

Not seen to best effect at Hamilton 68 days ago and this lightly-raced filly remains with potential now upped further in distance.

Form: 453

Forecasts

Repetitio (3/1), Hawridge Flyer (10/3), Lightly Squeeze (5/1), Queen Of Camelot (6/1), Trumpet Man (10/1), Follow Intello (14/1), Billy No Mates (16/1), Red Derek (16/1), Be Easy (22/1), Herman Hesse (33/1), Cool Possibility (66/1)

LIGHTLY SQUEEZE was set to take a hand in the finish to the Betfair Hurdle at Newbury when last seen, coming to grief at the last when having every chance. He's potentially chucked in off a mark of 77 back on the level given the progress he made over jumps last season and can make a winning return. Queen of Camelot should relish this longer trip and is a player along with Repetitio.
