Off time: 12:30 | Winning time: 4m 27.02s

Dharan⁴³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-5| J: S Bowen| T: W Bethell| OR: 109

7/1

Confirmed debut promise when chasing home ready winner Unohu in an Ayr maiden hurdle (2m, heavy) 43 days ago. Form has been franked so he's in the mix here.

Form: 42

Dreams Of Home⁹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: B S Hughes| T: D McCain Jnr

11/8

€20,000 3-y-o, Jet Away gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful hurdlers Minellacelebration and Pay The King. Point winner so newcomer rates interesting prospect for yard going great guns.

Form: 1

Early Morning Dew¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Callum Bewley| T: P D Niven

80/1

Fair form in two bumpers for Harry Whittington but well-held sixth on hurdle/yard debut at Catterick (19.3f, soft) 15 days ago. Big step forward is required.

Form: 576

Mont Segur^t³⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Rex Dingle| T: A J Honeyball

11/8

Useful bumper winner who (3/1) made a promising start hurdling when second of 12 in novice at Uttoxeter (15.8f, heavy) 35 days ago. Looked green there, so sure to step forward and the one to beat.

Form: 31-42

Native Choice³⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Sean Quinlan| T: R Menzies

25/1

9/4 but failed to build on Carlisle debut bumper promise when only fifth of 8 in bumper at Sedgefield (16.8f, heavy) 39 days ago. Makes hurdles debut now and market should prove good indicator.

Form: 45

Phantomoftheoscar⁴⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Kielan Woods| T: D Killahena & G McPherson

16/1

Has shown some ability without being given overly hard time when eighth in bumper at Newbury and novice hurdle at Leicester (20.5f, soft). Likely to do better in longer term.

Form: 88

Platinumcard^h²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Craig Nichol| T: K Dalgleish

80/1

Fair form when runner-up on first of two goes in bumpers, but hasn't threatened either start over hurdles. Sort to do better once handicapping.

Form: 2779

Rockmann⁵⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: M Walford

100/1

Shaped like a stayer when third at Hexham only start in bumpers, but looked one for the longer term in this sphere when well held both runs over hurdles. Back in trip now so others appeal more.

Form: 396

Saw The Sea⁶⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: W T Kennedy| T: C Ellam

300/1

Poor 10f maiden on Flat. Goes hurdling now and faces no easy introduction.

Form:

Very Patient²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: Ryan Mania| T: J Parkinson & S Smith

14/1

Fair form in bumper 14 months ago but yet to match that form in two runs over hurdles, sixth of 12 in 19f novice at Catterick 28 days ago. Needs to step forward if he's to trouble the principals.

Form: 39-P6

Outlaw Jesse James^t³³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Stan Sheppard| T: T Lacey

66/1

Showed just modest form in bumpers and well held in 2m novice hurdles at Newbury and Taunton. Hard to warm to.

Form: 08-550

Forecasts

Dreams Of Home (11/8), Mont Segur (11/8), Dharan (7/1), Very Patient (14/1), Phantomoftheoscar (16/1), Native Choice (25/1), Outlaw Jesse James (66/1), Platinumcard (80/1), Early Morning Dew (80/1), Rockmann (100/1), Saw The Sea (300/1)

MONT SEGUR rates the clear form pick on his promising debut Uttoxeter second and with a fair bit of improvement in the pipeline from this useful bumper winner he looks the way to go here. Donald McCain has his string in great nick so his newcomer Dreams of Home is feared most with Dharan much respected too on the back of his excellent Ayr second.
