Mario De Pail²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: James Bowen| T: S Thomas| OR: 133

13/8

Made winning hurdles debut at Kelso last December prior to going close in 2m novice at Chepstow. Below form both subsequent starts but may strip fitter for recent return, so could get back on the up.

Form: 2112P-5

Miah Grace³¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Joe Colliver| T: Jedd O'Keeffe| OR: 133

11/4

Progressive hurdler last season, winding campaign up by landing a mares' handicap at Doncaster. Not knocked about when a respectable sixth here on return and remains with potential up in trip.

Form: 12131-6

Sakhee's City^p¹⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 11-9| J: Thomas Dowson| T: P A Kirby| OR: 130| CD

11/1

Landed this from the same mark last year but lacklustre display on reappearance tempers enthusiasm for a follow-up.

Form: 2152P-0

Champagne City³⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: Bryan Carver⁽⁵⁾| T: T R George| OR: 130

22/1

Didn't take to chasing last season, which may have knocked his confidence, as his return to this sphere at Chepstow was a rather tame one. Something to prove.

Form: 22/P7P-7

Speed Company^t³⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: B S Hughes| T: Ian Williams| OR: 126

8/1

Useful Flat winner for John Quinn. Largely held form well under both codes for this yard, though his current hurdling mark demands improvement.

Form: 333/175-

Show Promise²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Ross Chapman| T: P A Kirby| OR: 125

25/1

Successful on hurdling debut in January and remains with some potential in this sphere despite an inauspicious chasing/seasonal debut at Sedgefield 27 days ago.

Form: 22/217-P

Demi Sang^p⁸³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: R P McLernon| T: B Haslam| OR: 124

15/2

Below par over hurdles in July but much more like it when runner-up back over fences at Cartmel (17.3f, soft) the following month. Potentially well treated back over smaller obstacles off a break.

Form: 4882-72

Western Rules^p³¹

Age: 10| Weight: 11-2| J: Mr Lyall Hodgins⁽⁷⁾| T: N G Richards| OR: 123

18/1

Summed up by mark and found good run of form coming to a halt when down the field at this course last time. Cheekpieces go on but others make more appeal.

Form: 41-3249

Shall We Go Now^t¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Dave Crosse| T: H Fry| OR: 121| BF

28/1

Defied a long absence to score in a tongue strap at Taunton in January. Reportedly lost a shoe at Huntingdon next time, and now makes handicap debut after a spin on the Flat.

Form: 3602/19-

Sheriff Garrett^p,t⁶⁸⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-10| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: T D Easterby| OR: 117| BF| D

33/1

In cracking form when last seen but that was almost 2 years ago, so not the easiest to assess. He'd be fairly treated if retaining all of his ability, though.

Form: 342212/

Forecasts

Mario De Pail (13/8), Miah Grace (11/4), Demi Sang (15/2), Speed Company (8/1), Sakhee's City (11/1), Western Rules (18/1), Champagne City (22/1), Show Promise (25/1), Shall We Go Now (28/1), Sheriff Garrett (33/1)

MIAH GRACE went the right way last term and promises to be suited by a step up in trip so, having blown away the cobwebs with a respectable sixth at this course on reappearance, she can resume progress to land this tightly-knit affair. Mario de Pail also remains with potential, so he's regarded as the main danger ahead of Demi Sang.
