Ben Lilly¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-1| J: K Stott| T: D H Brown| OR: 92| BF| D

7/2

Had an excellent 2020, winning 5 times, and made it 2 wins this year when landing 4-runner handicap at Doncaster last month. Creditable third at Hamilton since and return to 2m will suit.

Form: 58-4113

Chipiron¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: Elle-May Croot⁽⁷⁾| T: I Furtado| OR: 88

33/1

Just ticking over, fourth of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 19 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Continues to look like a horse that will benefit from more experienced handling.

Form: 23-3274

(5)

Raymond¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: Billy Garritty⁽³⁾| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 84| BF| D

16/1

Fair hurdler and has bettered that in this code, scoring twice already this year and far from disgraced when second to Red Force One at Ayr 17 days ago. Mark seems about right, though.

Form: 21412

Multellie⁶¹

Age: 9| Weight: 9-7| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 83

50/1

No room to manoeuvre from this mark and, while successful over hurdles since last seen on the Flat, he was pulled up in that sphere last time.

Form: 641525-

Arabic Culture¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: S H James| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 82

33/1

Well exposed and not really firing so far this term, so easily passed over in a race of this nature.

Form: 13/4-250

Frankenstella^p³⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 83| CD

4/1

Three-time winner around 2m last year, including over C&D. Shaped as if she'd strip fitter for her reappearance at Newcastle, so may well get back on the up. Considered.

Form: 21311-4

(12)

Sashenka²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Hollie Doyle| T: M Scudamore| OR: 81

11/2

Last 3 wins have come on AW and, while she was a creditable second to Ben Lilly at Doncaster 20 days ago, she doesn't seem all that likely to reverse the form.

Form: 57122-2

(7)

Sharp Suited²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: Ben Robinson| T: B Ellison| OR: 76

18/1

Has been running consistently well on AW this year but will need to pull out more if he's to make a successful turf debut in this sphere.

Form: 1/44232

(8)

Cloud Thunder^b³³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: David Egan| T: H Main| OR: 77| BF| D

10/1

Fairly useful staying handicapper who has hit the frame on the level on AW last twice, but looks vulnerable to better-treated rivals.

Form: 7222-42

(2)

Polish^p⁸¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: C Brace⁽³⁾| T: F O'Brien| OR: 76

7/2

Fairly useful Flat handicapper for Roger Charlton/John Gallagher (last ran in this sphere in 2019) and has done well for current yard over hurdles. Big player from handy mark.

Form: 473948/

(4)

General Zoff¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 8-8| J: S De Sousa| T: W Muir & C Grassick| OR: 70| D

12/1

Established as a fair handicapper and benefited no-end from the run of the race when making a winning reappearance at Lingfield (AW) 16 days ago. Small rise should be enough to stop him.

Form: 68336-1

Red Force One¹⁷

Forecasts

Polish (7/2), Ben Lilly (7/2), Frankenstella (4/1), Sashenka (11/2), Red Force One (7/1), Cloud Thunder (10/1), General Zoff (12/1), Raymond (16/1), Sharp Suited (18/1), Arabic Culture (33/1), Chipiron (33/1), Multellie (50/1)

POLISH has built up a solid record over hurdles for Fergal O'Brien and a mark of 76 makes him look well treated on previous Flat form for other trainers, so it's worth taking the chance that he can make a winning return to this discipline. Ben Lilly is still going the right way and strikes as a clear danger along with Red Force One.
