Glory²²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Shane Quinlan| T: V Thompson| OR: 105

125/1

Fair 1m4f maiden on the Flat. Only three runs over hurdles in Ireland and turned in poor effort in Tipperary novice 7 months ago. Has plenty to prove on return for his new yard.

Form: 239

Get With It^h1,t1²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Lorcan Murtagh| T: R Dobbin| OR: 105

12/1

Showed ability when fourth in novice hurdles on his first two runs but well held when falling heavily 2 out in Doncaster handicap last month. Hood/tongue strap on now with bit to prove.

Form: 65-44F

Donladd⁵⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: Peter Kavanagh⁽¹⁰⁾| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 103| BF

4/1

Yet to open his account but has shaped encouragingly of late, strong-travelling second of 16 in 2m3f handicap at Catterick 57 days ago. Expected to be bang there despite 4 lb rise.

Form: 7/6-6722

Your Place¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-10| J: S Mulqueen| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 103

50/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 66/1, best effort when fourth of 11 in 2m novice hurdle at Hexham 16 days ago. Goes into handicaps now but others are better treated.

Form: 6844

Coup De Gold²³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Tom Midgley⁽⁷⁾| T: D Thompson| OR: 102

16/1

Winless since 2019 but he arrives in decent form from the Flat. Not discounted off reduced mark back in this sphere.

Form: 4-64666

Shaws Bridge⁶⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-6| J: Billy Garritty⁽³⁾| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 99

5/1

Fair maiden hurdler who recorded good second in Newcastle jumpers bumper in February on final run for Keith Dalgleish. Respected for his new yard.

Form: 3433-42

Bingo D'Olivate¹³

Age: 10| Weight: 11-4| J: Nathan Moscrop| T: J Ewart| OR: 97

16/1

It's now thirteen runs since his last win in 2018, and he raced too freely when fifth of 9 to Old Jewry over C&D (8/1) 13 days ago. Needs to settle better.

Form: 8-6F235

Russian Service^p,t¹⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-3| J: Joe Anderson⁽⁷⁾| T: S Drinkwater| OR: 96| BF

11/1

Gained second win at Taunton in January and run best ignored (raced on unfavoured inside) there 19 days ago. Worth considering in refitted cheekpieces.

Form: 960130

Ace Ventura²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: Ross Turner⁽³⁾| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 96

4/1

Low-mileage hurdler who recorded good third of 12 in handicap at Warwick (16f) 20 days ago. Can make his presence felt again nudged up just 1 lb.

Form: 76/43-63

Old Jewry¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Danny McMenamin| T: D Bourke| OR: 95| CD

6/1

Not the easiest to catch right, but he got back on track when scoring over C&D (12/1) 13 days ago. Up 3 lb and needs to show he can follow it up now.

Form: 5150P1

Echo Express³³

Age: 9| Weight: 10-12| J: Abbie McCain| T: A Robson| OR: 91| C| D

18/1

Course winner but he's proving a bit and miss this season, pulled up in Ayr handicap 33 days ago. Others are more persuasive.

Form: F7385P

Scottsdale²⁴²

Age: 8| Weight: 10-9| J: K Yeoman⁽⁵⁾| T: P Winks| OR: 88| D

66/1

Modest 2m hurdle winner last term but he's been off since pulled up in Southwell handicap 8 months ago. Has plenty to prove on his return.

Form: 51P7-0P

Brickadank²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-9| J: Joe Williamson⁽³⁾| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 88

14/1

Lightly-raced maiden hurdler. 20/1, fair ninth of 16 on handicap bow at Newcastle (2m4f) 25 days ago. Faces uphill task at these weights.

Forecasts

Donladd (4/1), Ace Ventura (4/1), Shaws Bridge (5/1), Old Jewry (6/1), Russian Service (11/1), Get With It (12/1), Brickadank (14/1), Fort De L'Ocean (14/1), Coup De Gold (16/1), Bingo D'Olivate (16/1), Echo Express (18/1), Your Place (50/1), Scottsdale (66/1), Glory (125/1)

Lots of these have question marks against them but DONLADD has been knocking on the door and is taken to gain a deserved first win having found only one too good in big-field handicaps on his last two starts. Ace Ventura rates a major threat on the back of his recent Warwick third, with Fort de L'Ocean expected to build on his Stratford sixth and worth considering too.
