Alderson³⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-1| J: Lee Edwards| T: J Groucott| OR: 98

100/1

Has had a few chances in ordinary handicap hurdles this term at around 3m so surprising were he up to the task back in a maiden.

Form: 53B3PF

American Legacy³³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: G Sheehan| T: W Greatrex

14/1

Decisive winner of an Irish maiden point and showed ability in bumpers. Should do better now going hurdling and up in trip.

Form: 177

Aviewtosea²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: Kielan Woods| T: D Killahena & G McPherson

28/1

Put experience to good use when opening account in Carlisle bumper but well held both starts since. Makes hurdles debut.

Form: 72-2167

Dee Lane^t²⁵³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-1| J: Thomas Dowson| T: G HanmerWS

300/1

No impact in bumpers/novice hurdles. Off 8 months. Significantly up in trip.

Interconnected²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 130| BF

1/4

Shaped with loads of promise in a strong Newbury novice in 2018/19. Bit disappointing he failed to get the job done both starts this season for new yard but still sets a clear standard.

Form: F12/23

Lies About Milan^p1,t²⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 11-1| J: Liam Harrison⁽⁷⁾| T: F O'Brien| OR: 118

11/2

Fairly useful chaser who was a bit underwhelming returned to this sphere when only fourth in novice/maiden at Chepstow last 2 starts. Headgear now added and needs taking seriously in this field.

Form: 22-4644

Trooper Jones²³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: Alex Edwards⁽³⁾| T: Mrs M Rowley

28/1

Norse Dancer gelding. Dam placed in points. Placed in points and showed a bit of ability when fourth of 6 in novice hurdle at Ludlow (21.2f, good to soft) on NH debut 23 days ago.

Form: 6/2-34

Just A Whim²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-8| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽⁵⁾| T: L Horsfall

33/1

Decent NH pedigree and seemed to take a big step forward when fourth of 5 in novice hurdle at Haydock (24.3f, good to soft, 200/1) 24 days ago.

Form: 684

Forecasts

Interconnected (1/4), Lies About Milan (11/2), American Legacy (14/1), Little Jack (14/1), Aviewtosea (28/1), Trooper Jones (28/1), Just A Whim (33/1), Alderson (100/1), Dee Lane (300/1)

INTERCONNECTED's efforts this season have been a bit underwhelming but he still sets a clear standard, so this looks a good opportunity. Low-mileage 10-y-o Lies About Milan is a potential danger on chase form, while American Legacy and Aviewtosea both showed ability in bumpers.
