Form: P-22442

Moans Cross¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Brendan Powell| T: D G Bridgwater| OR: 100

4/1

Uttoxeter maiden hurdle winner in July 2019 but came to grief for the second time in just 4 starts over fences this term here a fortnight ago.

Aughnacurra King^t³⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: D J Jeffreys| OR: 95

Collingwood Court^b1²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: T Scudamore| T: D Pipe| OR: 90

13/2

Hasn't shown much in 4 runs over hurdles, well beaten on handicap debut at Hereford 3 weeks ago, but could well come into his own now chasing over staying trip (Irish point winner). Blinkered.

Form: 10P-7F0

Witches Glen^t³⁵⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 10-12| J: N F Houlihan⁽⁷⁾| T: P Phelan| OR: 86

10/1

Showed a bit in 2 runs in similar events a year ago and could be up to winning races over fences if all is well.

Form: 264P/48-

Clonmonarch^v²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-5| J: David Noonan| T: N J Hawke| OR: 79

11/1

Little impact in 6 runs over hurdles, including in handicaps this term, and needs plenty of improvement now going chasing upped markedly in trip.

Betterlatethanneva^p,t²⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 10-0| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽⁵⁾| T: G Howell| OR: 64

125/1

Exposed as poor and would be a surprising winner of this after another heavy defeat at Sedgefield.

Form: P756-P8

Forecasts

Hidden Cargo (5/2), Aughnacurra King (16/5), Moans Cross (4/1), Collingwood Court (13/2), Witches Glen (10/1), Clonmonarch (11/1), Moroval (12/1), Betterlatethanneva (125/1)

Not a particularly strong-looking race and it could be worth chancing COLLINGWOOD COURT on his first go over fences. He's struggled over hurdles this term but is an Irish point winner and a staying trip over fences could be more his bag. His in-form yard have reached for the blinkers and a bigger effort could be on the cards. Aughnacurra King is feared most ahead of Hidden Cargo.
