Sirwilliamwallace³⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Ryan Mania| T: A M Thomson| OR: 120| C

6/5

Winning hurdler here who offered plenty for a long way on second start over fences at Carlisle (3m) last month until going markedly left late on. Remains capable of better.

Form: 5216-53

Do Not Disturb³¹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-8| J: Craig Nichol| T: R Dobbin| OR: 110| C

4/1

Maiden hurdle winner here and set to be even better over fences, running well when falling last (set for second) at Newcastle. Return to this longer trip will suit and he's one to note.

Age: 6| Weight: 10-5| J: C O'Farrell| T: N W Alexander| OR: 107

Forecasts

Sirwilliamwallace (6/5), Ladronne (4/1), Do Not Disturb (4/1), Gipsy Lee Rose (5/1), Lemon T (8/1), Empire De Maulde (12/1), Grange Ranger (12/1), Largy Prospect (50/1)

GIPSY LEE ROSE ran her best race for Nick Alexander when second in first-time cheekpieces in the mud here earlier this month and looks to have a good chance back against the novices. Sirwilliamwallace is capable of better in this sphere and a return to Kelso, where he won over hurdles, looks a good move. Do Not Disturb is another course hurdles winner to consider.
