Monkey Harris¹²

Age: 9| Weight: 11-0| J: G Sheehan| T: Mrs R Ford| OR: 88

13/2

Ex-pointer who showed only modest form in a trio of hurdling outings before finishing well held in two handicap chases at Warwick. Easy to look elsewhere.

80/1

Age: 9| Weight: 10-8| J: Thomas Garner| T: Mrs L C Jewell| OR: 82

15/2

Long-standing maiden but he arrives in good nick, third in 2m1f handicap chase (10/1) at Plumpton last time. Needs considering.

Gaia Vallis⁴⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-4| J: Brendan Powell| T: D G Bridgwater| OR: 78

12/1

Poor form over hurdles and (after wind op) when well-held fifth at Plumpton on chasing bow (2m) 44 days ago. Still lightly raced so may do better

Brother Bennett^p,t⁸⁶

Age: 11| Weight: 10-3| J: Page Fuller| T: A Irvine| OR: 77| CD

10/1

Temperamental sort who has offered little all three runs this term. Easy to look elsewhere.

Age: 9| Weight: 10-1| J: James Davies| T: A Irvine| OR: 75

11/1

Modest maiden chaser. 20/1, not disgraced after 11 months off when third of 7 in 2m handicap at Fakenham 19 days ago. Much respected if building on that run.

Forecasts

Gentleman's Dream (10/3), Episode (10/3), Hold Me Tight (9/2), Royal Crown (9/2), Monkey Harris (13/2), Hab Sab (15/2), Brother Bennett (10/1), Cagliostro (11/1), Gaia Vallis (12/1), Un Beau Roman (20/1), Thomas Blossom (20/1), Ardbruce (20/1), Dawn Sunrise (80/1), Cooladerry King (100/1)

HAB SAB has been in very good form over fences this term so looks the way to go now he's returned to this sphere after a recent spin in a jumpers bumper. Hold Me Tight has still to win a race but can't be ruled out in his current form, with Cagliostro another worth considering with his reappearance run under his belt.
