San Agustin²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-10| J: J J Burke| T: T Lacey| OR: 96

10/1

Modest form in 2 bumpers last summer. Similar story in 4 attempts over hurdles, only eighth on handicap bow at Taunton last time. Up in trip but others more persuasive.

Form: 544058-

Diamond Rose³³

Age: 9| Weight: 11-9| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: J S Smith| OR: 95| CD

5/1

C&D winner but she arrives on back of below-par fifth of 7 in handicap here 33 days ago. Needs to bounce back.

Form: 9/73735-

An Tailliur²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 94| BF

5/4

Lightly-raced maiden who posted easily his best effort when running-on second of 11 in handicap at Taunton (16.5f, good) 29 days ago. Bold showing is very much on the cards now stepping up in trip.

Form: 77662-

Sweet Vinetta^b⁴⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: B S Hughes| T: G Boanas| OR: 93WS

14/1

It's now eleven runs since last win in 2019, and below-form fifth of 10 in handicap hurdle (33/1) at Kelso (20.9f, good to soft) 46 days ago. Has work to do to end her losing streak.

Form: 059565-

Lill Smith^t,v1²⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-6| J: Lee Edwards| T: Henry Oliver| OR: 92

25/1

Remains a maiden after 16 runs, having wind op/cheekpieces on before eleventh of 13 in handicap at Warwick (16f, good) 26 days ago. Tried in visor now.

Form: 00/F080-

Glacier Fox¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Harry Kimber⁽⁷⁾| T: M C Chapman| OR: 90

100/1

Lost his way on the Flat and has offered little encouragement over hurdles so far. Others appeal a lot more.

Form: 875-

Seapoint^b²⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: Miss Becky Smith⁽³⁾| T: Miss J E Foster| OR: 87

13/2

Only one win from 26 runs, but she arrives in decent nick, third of 13 in handicap hurdle (7/1) at Newcastle (20.3f, good) 27 days ago. Shortlisted.

Form: 896353-

Moidore²⁸

Age: 12| Weight: 10-10| J: C J Todd⁽³⁾| T: C & A Pogson| OR: 82| C

11/2

Course winner but his recent form is not overly encouraging, only fifth of 7 at Sedgefield four weeks ago. Veteran is hard to enthuse over.

Form: 6467P5-

Zarazena¹⁷⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-4| J: James Davies| T: B Leavy| OR: 76

40/1

Lightly-raced hurdler for Henry Oliver. 17/2, fair sixth of 12 in handicap at Southwell (15.8f, good to soft) 175 days ago. Needs more on yard bow after her break.

Form: 000/66-

Forecasts

An Tailliur (5/4), Diamond Rose (5/1), Moidore (11/2), Seapoint (13/2), San Agustin (10/1), Sweet Vinetta (14/1), Lucky Icon (20/1), Near Kettering (25/1), Lill Smith (25/1), Zarazena (40/1), Glacier Fox (100/1)

AN TAILLIUR signalled he's ready to go in when an excellent second over 2m at Taunton last month and this step up in distance seems sure to prove to his benefit too. Seapoint arrives in good order and looks the one to chase him home with Near Kettering worth a second look too if the market speaks in his favour.
