Darling Du Large^t³⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: C Gethings| T: T R George| OR: 112| D

13/2

Winning hurdler often prone to finishing weakly. Promises to do better over fences, in a share of second when falling 2 out at Stratford. Big player from same mark if over that.

Form: 3/1P-59F

Atlantic Storm^t⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: James Best| T: B R Summers| OR: 110| D

9/2

In good heart during the summer and back to form when winning at Hereford in October. Unable to continue the good work since but is below that successful mark.

Form: 612553

Larch Hill²²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-8| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 106| CD

3/1

Hurdles winner who got off mark at first attempt over fences at Market Rasen (17.2f) back in spring 2019. Easily best effort having been absent for a long time when runner-up at Southwell 3 weeks ago.

Form: 13/F392

Elisezmoi²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: J E Moore| T: G & J Moore| OR: 103

8/1

Hurdles winner in France. Hasn't helped cause by racing too freely in Britain though allowed to bowl along when faring slightly better at Fontwell last month.

Form: 0U/2P-P4

Deise Vu^p²⁷⁵

Age: 13| Weight: 11-2| J: David Noonan| T: R Brotherton| OR: 100| D

150/1

Successful twice at around 2m in 2018/19 but last season never really got going and poor effort on belated return in July.

Form: 3/4868-9

Gouet Des Bruyeres^t¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: Alan Johns| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 99| BF

9/4

Ex-French gelding who, subsequent to undergoing a wind op, has got back on the up of late, off the mark in good style at Wetherby. Held back by a couple of mistakes when failing to land odds latest.

Form: 555312

The Granson⁹³

Age: 9| Weight: 10-8| J: Nick Scholfield| T: P Henderson| OR: 92| D

15/2

Continues to fall in the weights without looking ready to take advantage.

Form: PP-0079

No Ceiling^h,t²⁹

Age: 11| Weight: 10-0| J: Aaron Anderson⁽⁷⁾| T: M E Sowersby| OR: 82| D

66/1

Fair handicap chaser in 2017/18 for Ian Williams but no impact for present stable.

Form: 37/PP8P

Forecasts

Gouet Des Bruyeres (9/4), Larch Hill (3/1), Atlantic Storm (9/2), Darling Du Large (13/2), The Granson (15/2), Elisezmoi (8/1), No Ceiling (66/1), Deise Vu (150/1)

DARLING DU LARGE's tendency to finish weakly has to be a worry when recommending her, but she was in the process of showing improved form when falling late at Stratford and is well treated from the same mark if that hasn't left its mark. Gouet des Bruyeres is going through a very good patch but is unlikely to be missed in the market.
