Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: Brendan Powell| T: O Sherwood| OR: 99

Minella Away^p³⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Luca Morgan⁽⁷⁾| T: B Pauling| OR: 95

Form: 256905

Strike The Flint¹⁴⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: M G Nolan| T: Miss S Smith| OR: 91| C

Age: 7| Weight: 10-9| J: Shane Quinlan⁽⁵⁾| T: G Harris| OR: 83

Form: 70/33-P0

Fearsome Fred⁷³³

Age: 12| Weight: 10-6| J: Harrison Beswick⁽⁵⁾| T: Dr J R J Naylor| OR: 80

Form: 266F55/

Soarlikeaneagle²¹

Age: 9| Weight: 10-0| J: James Davies| T: R Rowe| OR: 72

9/2

Poor maiden who ran creditably from a career-low mark when second in 12-runner contest here (25.7f) 3 weeks ago, despite a mixed round of jumping. Remains to be seen if he's able to back that up.

Form: 5-PF362

Lisronagh Stone^b,t²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: G Sheehan| T: P Henderson| OR: 69

Jappeloup⁹²

Age: 12| Weight: 10-0| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs D Grissell| OR: 69

33/1

Poor maiden hurdler/chaser. Has shown some ability remains both starts back from a 13-month absence but more needed to play a significant role.

Form: U2F/9-55

Forecasts

Henschke (9/4), Minella Away (5/2), Soarlikeaneagle (9/2), Ding Ding (13/2), Good News (7/1), Corrie Lake (15/2), King Cool (11/1), Clongowes (14/1), Rainbow Storm (14/1), Strike The Flint (18/1), Lemon Shoulder (20/1), Mr Woody (28/1), Jappeloup (33/1), Fearsome Fred (50/1), Lisronagh Stone (50/1)

HENSCHKE improved in a first-time tongue tie when third at Hereford and could have more to come now stepping up in trip given his lightly-raced profile, so he's as appealing as any. Minella Away is becoming well handicapped.
