Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Liam Harrison⁽⁷⁾| T: F O'Brien| OR: 105

4/1

Dash Of Blue^t¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-10| J: D A Jacob| T: B I Case| OR: 103

13/8

Improved when third in handicaps last 2 starts, including at Wincanton on return last month, making rapid headway approaching straight. May have more to offer still.

Form: 50063-3

Ben Buie^p²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: M Keighley| OR: 102

9/1

Opening mark looked high enough on what he'd achieved and was held in third when unseating 2 out on handicap bow at Wincanton last month.

Form: 0/83-64U

Imperial Acolyte⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: Jordan Nailor⁽⁵⁾| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 101| BF

6/1

Failed to complete all 3 starts over fences but was in the process of running well when unseating rider 2 out on penultimate start. Of interest back over hurdles now.

Form: 878-FUU

Macksville^p,t²⁹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: David Noonan| T: Mrs E Bishop| OR: 97| D

25/1

Fair Flat performer who opened account in this sphere at Huntingdon (19.5f) in October 2018 (final start for James Eustace) but no impact in just 3 outings for this yard since.

Form: 2319/09-

Blunder Buss³¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Alan Johns| T: Tim Vaughan| OR: 93

4/1

Lost his way for Chris Grant in 2019 but is well treated on his best form and belated return at Hereford for new yard wasn't without promise.

Form: 4458/3-6

George Hastings^t²⁶²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Harry Bannister| T: Miss J E Foster| OR: 92

125/1

Poor maiden on Flat for Karl Burke. Showed a bit when third in juvenile hurdle at Wetherby a year ago but well held both starts since. Off 8 months. Up in trip.

Form: 67306-

Shareef Star^v1²²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-10| J: James Bowen| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 89

11/1

Fair Flat winner. Yet to achieve much over hurdles, including when remote second on heavy-ground handicap debut at Stratford on penultimate start. Visor on 1st time.

Form: 0-4529

No Alarm^p¹²

Age: 8| Weight: 10-5| J: James Davies| T: A Forbes| OR: 84

66/1

Successful over 20.5f at Market Rasen in March for Olly Murphy 2019 but he's essentially made no impact in modest events for current yard.

Form: 6908P-5

Forecasts

Dash Of Blue (13/8), Christopher Robin (3/1), Blunder Buss (4/1), Une De La Seniere (4/1), Imperial Acolyte (6/1), Ben Buie (9/1), Shareef Star (11/1), Macksville (25/1), No Alarm (66/1), George Hastings (125/1)

DASH OF BLUE shaped well when third at Wincanton on his return last month, making a big move from off the pace, and could be the answer with that run under his belt. Imperial Acolyte is of interest back over hurdles, while Une de La Seniere can't be ruled out, either.
