The Herds Garden¹⁹

Age: 12| Weight: 12-2| J: Theo Gillard⁽⁵⁾| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 102

20/1

Veteran who scored at Catterick in January. Not in the same form completed starts since but on the plus side, he is back on that successful mark.

Lord Caprio^t⁴⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: R P McLernon| T: B Haslam| OR: 98

11/1

Fair on Flat and similar form in juvenile events over hurdles in 2018/19. Off over 2 years and pulled up both outings in March so has lots to prove.

Form: 132/PP-

Glory^v²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Shane Quinlan⁽⁵⁾| T: V Thompson| OR: 95

22/1

Long-standing maiden under both codes and back in trip despite a laboured effort over 21.2f here 3 weeks ago. Visor back on.

Hats Off To Larry^t⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: Fergus Gregory⁽³⁾| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 93| D

5/4

Fairly useful Flat winner and finally got the job done over hurdles at Market Rasen on Friday, albeit looking hard work. Clearly retains handicap scope if keeping it together.

Form: 4/9904-1

Zamarkhan⁹²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-6| J: Ryan Mania| T: A M Thomson| OR: 92| CD

2/1

C&D scorer in September and may well have gone in again but for a late fall at Musselburgh. Excellent efforts when runner-up in a brace of jumpers bumpers in February and the one to beat.

Form: 14F422-

Wishful Thinking^h,t⁷⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-1| J: Alain Cawley| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 87

66/1

Didn't show much for Henry de Bromhead in Ireland and same story both starts for current yard.

Form: 8050PP-

Sweetest Smile¹⁴⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-7| J: R D Day| T: M E Sowersby| OR: 79| D

50/1

Modest winning stayer on Flat for Ed De Giles, but she changed hands for only £800 last winter and has shown little in 4 starts over hurdles. Very hard to warm to.

Form: 95/50-

Eden Collonges²²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-6| J: Joe Williamson⁽⁷⁾| T: Samantha & Jacqueline Coward| OR: 78

13/2

Much improved when opening his account in this sphere at Kelso in March, but that wasn't a deep race and he hasn't backed it up since.

Form: P76170-

Snowed In^p⁵¹

Age: 12| Weight: 10-3| J: Sean Quinlan| T: B Butterworth| OR: 75| D

14/1

Veteran who has been operating below his best for a while now.

Hats Off To Larry (5/4), Zamarkhan (2/1), Eden Collonges (13/2), Lord Caprio (11/1), Snowed In (14/1), The Herds Garden (20/1), Glory (22/1), Sweetest Smile (50/1), Wishful Thinking (66/1)

ZAMARKHAN looked a big threat when falling 2 out the last time he tackled obstacles, and from the same mark, is taken to confirm he's well handicapped. This isn't a strong race, with Hats Off To Larry and The Herds Garden the obvious threats.
