Eyeofthescorpion¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 12-2| J: Kielan Woods| T: D Killahena & G McPherson| OR: 101

2/1

Signs of promise on 2 of his 3 qualifying runs and has the potential for better now switching to handicap company. One to consider.

Form: 40-5

Hear The Chimes¹⁹⁹

Age: 11| Weight: 11-12| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: S A Harris| OR: 97| C| D

9/1

Fair winning hurdler who had just the one creditable effort to his name in 4 outings last term. Has been given a bit of a chance by the handicapper, though, and is a former course winner.

Form: 26/8947-

Yeats Mardy²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: C J Todd⁽⁵⁾| T: C & A Pogson| OR: 94

50/1

Remains a maiden after 22 starts. Well held at Ballinrobe 24 days ago (final run for Gavin Cromwell) and can only watch on this first outing for new connections.

Form: P00-9P0

Dollnamix²⁰⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 11-9| J: Nick Scholfield| T: Miss E C Lavelle| OR: 94

5/1

Failed to fire last season but back on a good mark and respected for a yard which has been in pretty good form since the resumption.

Form: F2/0699-

Stonemadforspeed^p⁵⁷

Age: 12| Weight: 11-8| J: D A Jacob| T: R A Teal| OR: 93| D

5/1

Not the most reliable but he'll take a hand here if reproducing the form of his second in a Southwell claimer on reappearance 8 weeks ago.

Form: 93287-2

Jetstream^t⁴²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: William Marshall⁽⁷⁾| T: D J Jeffreys| OR: 86

7/1

Fair Flat performer who has had excuses since his sound third (behind 2 subsequent winners) at Southwell, unsuited by heavy ground at Stratford last month. Interesting off this mark.

Form: 730-33P

Move Closer^t²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: Harry Bannister| T: A M Hales| OR: 86

10/1

Has shown modest form at best in her three runs in 2m maiden/novice hurdles but handicaps do at least provide her with a more realistic chance of success

Form: P3/6846

Ri An Rian^p⁴⁵⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Joshua Moore| T: Mrs L J Mongan| OR: 85| D

10/1

Opened account in Tipperary chase on final start for Liz Doyle in July of 2018, but yet to get seriously competitive for current yard. Not seen for 15 months.

Form: 6P5/764-

The Resdev Way¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: Thomas Dowson| T: P A Kirby| OR: 83

25/1

Has struggled on the Flat this year and he also found life tough when last seen over hurdles in 2018. Not an obvious one.

Form: 77278/4-

Gaia Vallis³²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: Brendan Powell| T: D G Bridgwater| OR: 81

12/1

Didn't achieve much (beaten a long way) when making the frame in a couple of soft-ground juveniles last autumn but is unexposed now handicapping on his return and needs keeping an eye on in betting.

Form: 032-

Hes Our Robin^h⁴⁰⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 10-0| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: M Mullineaux| OR: 69

80/1

Long-standing maiden who hasn't been seen for 13 months. Stable has done quite well on the Flat this summer but he's still hard to make a case for,

Form: 64/P4SP-

Dragon Man^b1⁴⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 10-0| J: Tristan Durrell⁽⁷⁾| T: M Young| OR: 74

150/1

No show in 3 juvenile hurdles for this yard and has to race from 12 lb out of the weights on this handicap debut. First-time blinkers replace cheekpieces.

Form: 986

Weight: 10-12| Age: 7

T: M Roberts J: T J O'Brien

Forecasts

Eyeofthescorpion (2/1), Dollnamix (5/1), Stonemadforspeed (5/1), Jetstream (7/1), Hear The Chimes (9/1), Ri An Rian (10/1), Move Closer (10/1), Gaia Vallis (12/1), Dream Baie (20/1), The Resdev Way (25/1), Yeats Mardy (50/1), Hes Our Robin (80/1), Dragon Man (150/1)

A chance is taken on DOLLNAMIX who is nicely weighted on the form he showed when runner-up 3 times in 2018/19 and the decent form of the Emma Lavelle yard since the start of the season provides hope that he can shrug off some lesser runs last term. Jetstream had an excuse last time and is interesting from this mark, while Stonemadforspeed will also play a part if on a 'going' day.
