Shentri^t1¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 11-4| J: Bridget Andrews| T: D Skelton| OR: 125| D

5/2

Chase/hurdle winner in France. Led until weakening rapidly in the straight on 2¼m Fontwell British debut 18 days ago. Sharper test now may help. Also has tongue tie on. Might be worth another chance.

Asharann^t1²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Alan Johns| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero

22/1

Fairly useful winner on Flat in France for Jean-Claude Rouget but beaten a long way on both runs over hurdles for this yard. Has a tongue strap on for the first time.

Form: 85

Fiscal Prudence^h1²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: D A Jacob| T: H Whittington

12/1

Showed ability on second of his two starts in maidens at the Curragh for Jim Bolger at 2 yrs but well held on last month's Warwick hurdle debut after an absence. Hood added now.

Form: 7

Park Lane Dancer²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Craig Nichol| T: J & S Quinn

20/1

Modest maiden on Flat. Similar form when third in weak race on hurdle debut and comfortably held at Musselburgh since.

Form: 37

Shalott¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: B S Hughes| T: G Brown

13/2

Much better effort in Huntingdon bumpers last month when 2 lengths third 12 days ago. Hurdle debut.

Form: 53

Sure I'm Your Man^h1⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Sean Quinlan| T: J Candlish| BF

17/2

Promise when third on Bangor hurdle debut. Sent off favourite at Leicester next time but folded tamely (reportedly bled). Hooded now. Yard continues in good form in general.

Form: 3P

Yulong Magicreef⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: R Johnson| T: J & A O'Neill

18/1

Fairly useful maiden on Flat (stays 1¼m) for Jessica Harrington. 20/1, well held on Wetherby hurdle debut last month but has Richard Johnson up here and Flat ability suggests he can do better.

Form: 0

Carriesmatic³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 10-5| J: Callum Bewley| T: P D Niven

16/1

Modest maiden 12-race maiden on Flat (stays 1¼m). Doesn't strike as an obvious type to make a winning hurdle debut.

Form:

Volkovka^h¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 10-5| J: C Brace⁽³⁾| T: F O'Brien

2/1

Fairly useful Flat winner in France. Pulled up on hurdle debut but better than the result when fifth at Leicester since, challenging for third when bad mistake last. Likely capable of better.

Form: P5

Forecasts

Volkovka (2/1), Shentri (5/2), Shalott (13/2), Sure I'm Your Man (17/2), Fiscal Prudence (12/1), Carriesmatic (16/1), Yulong Magicreef (18/1), Park Lane Dancer (20/1), Asharann (22/1)

SHENTRI perhaps found 2¼m on heavy ground too much when a distant second at Fontwell and might be worth another chance faced with more of a test of speed this time (also tongue tied). Fergal O'Brien's Volkovka caught the eye at Leicester last time and may provide the main threat ahead of Sure I'm Your Man.
