Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: Oakley Brown⁽⁵⁾| T: Justin Landy| OR: 117

15/8

Second at Hexham 22 days ago, again running well under this rider. Proving more reliable than progressive. Switches back to fences.

Raecius Felix³⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Nathan Moscrop⁽³⁾| T: R Menzies| OR: 115| CD

11/1

Won Kelso and C&D handicaps last year but hasn't been seeing his races out more recently. Drops in grade now at least.

Last Goodbye^p,t⁴⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 11-11| J: Jonathan England| T: S England| OR: 114| DWS

9/1

Has failed to make an impact over fences since joining this stable but has tumbled in the weights at least and is back from a wind op here. Market move would be interesting.

Form: 0/P3964-

Instant Replay^p²¹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-11| J: Henry Brooke| T: B Ellison| OR: 114| CD

4/1

Four-time course winner but he's been struggling, no match for an in-form pair here 3 weeks ago.

Zuckerberg¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Sean Quinlan| T: J Candlish| OR: 107

5/1

Fairly useful hurdler/chaser in France. Likely has races in him for this yard (mark has dropped plenty) and not disgraced in Huntingdon handicap hurdle and Flat AW handicap last month.

Form: 0P4704-

Tico Times²¹

5/1

Landed back-to-back novice handicap chases (over C&D and at Carlisle) switched to fences earlier this year but not so good off revised mark back here last time.

Form: 5/P0114-

Muroor^b¹⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: Shane Quinlan⁽⁵⁾| T: V Thompson| OR: 88| CD

16/1

C&D winner who was back to form when second at Hexham in March but not so good since, taking a crashing fall back there 10 days ago.

Forecasts

Shetland Bus (15/8), Nightfly (2/1), Instant Replay (4/1), Tico Times (5/1), Zuckerberg (5/1), Last Goodbye (9/1), Raecius Felix (11/1), Muroor (16/1)

NIGHTFLY ended a long losing run off a much-reduced mark at Stratford 6 weeks ago under Brian Hughes and has a decent opportunity to follow up raised 6 lb. Zuckerberg will likely come good for Jennie Candlish soon and needs keeping onside, while a market move for Last Goodbye back from a wind op/down in trip would be interesting.
