Rubytwo^p²⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Danny McMenamin⁽³⁾| T: N G Richards| OR: 100| D

13/8

Belatedly off the mark over hurdles in a Newcastle mares' maiden (20.3f) in November and she arrives here on the back of a solid second at Bangor (19.5f) in April. Claims from same mark with a repeat.

Form: 149552-

Camile^p,t⁴⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: Oakley Brown| T: I Jardine| OR: 95| D

14/1

Landed a gamble in a weak event at Southwell in 2019, but rather in-and-out since and again produced a slightly underwhelming finish when fourth at Carlisle (17f) in March.

Form: 938904-

Green Zone¹⁷¹

Age: 10| Weight: 11-5| J: Tom Midgley⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss L Harrison| OR: 93| CD

16/1

Veteran who arrives on a long losing run but did go close from much-reduced mark in pair of Kelso handicaps (at up to 25.7f) back in the autumn. Arrives here fresh and no forlorn hope.

Form: 0/63226-

Gripper^b,t¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Lewis Stones⁽³⁾| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 86

14/1

Dual purpose performer who wasn't seen to best effect when fourth in a C&D handicap 2 starts back but well beaten on the Flat since and he's not really one to be making excuses for.

Form: 7/FPP24-

Fernhill Lad^t1³³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Theo Gillard⁽³⁾| T: N W Alexander| OR: 86WS

18/1

Poor maiden hurdler. Only ninth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (2m4f) when last seen early on last month. Tongue strap fitted on the back of a wind op but he needs to show more.

Form: 095889-

Tekiblue de L'Orme^p¹²

Age: 8| Weight: 10-11| J: Joe Williamson⁽⁶⁾| T: P A Kirby| OR: 85

12/1

Made light of a 14-month absence to score at Carlisle (20f) in autumn 2019. Good second over fences last autumn but never kicked on subsequently. Worth noting if market speaks in his favour here.

Form: 1/2098-V

Famous Moment²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-7| J: Lorcan Murtagh| T: R Dobbin| OR: 81

16/1

€125,000 as 3-y-o who hasn't gone with a great deal of promise in a bumper/trio of starts in maiden/novice hurdles and, easy to back, fared no better sent handicapping over C&D last month.

Form: 88698-

Baby Jane³³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-7| J: Nathan Moscrop| T: G Boanas| OR: 81WS

10/1

Little sign of ability in a bumpers/novice hurdles but bit more like it in handicaps, not disgraced when 7 lengths fourth of 12 at Newcastle (20.3f) in April. Live each-way player after a wind op.

Form: 786/8F4-

Silk Or Scarlet^p1,t²²

Age: 9| Weight: 10-5| J: Bruce Lynn⁽³⁾| T: N W Alexander| OR: 79

9/2

Feasibly treated on the pick of his form, but hasn't posed a threat at Haydock/here in recent months. Cheekpieces added to tongue tie now.

Form: 5/PF646-

Bayfriars Bobby⁵²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-3| J: P W Wadge⁽¹⁰⁾| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 77

15/2

Some promise on first of 2 starts in bumpers but no real short-term promise in trio of novice hurdles thereafter. However, does at least now get a crack at handicaps. Worth monitoring in the betting.

Form: 45699-

Friends In Heaven⁵²

Age: 9| Weight: 10-0| J: Peter Kavanagh⁽⁷⁾| T: A Wilson| OR: 72

100/1

No worthwhile form under Rules and this 9-y-o is hard to fancy.

A winner of a mares' maiden in November RUBYTWO ran easily her best race since when second at Bangor last month, finding only one that is thriving too strong. She gets the nod to go one place better in a race in which plenty have something to prove. Tekiblue de L'orme may come on from his Newcastle run and along with Baby Jane, heads up the dangers.
