In The Detail¹³⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Rex Dingle| T: P R Webber| OR: 108

7/1

Placed in Irish point. Also showed promise in maiden hurdles and perhaps unsuited by heavy ground on Market Rasen handicap debut in January. Freshened up since and remains unexposed.

Form: P3/0436-

Dramatic Pause²⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-9| J: Alex Edwards⁽³⁾| T: Mrs M Rowley| OR: 105

5/2

Bumper winner. Fair form in a Catterick hunter chase and 19.5f Huntingdon handicap hurdle back under Rules this year. Step back up in trip should suit. Respected for in-form stable.

Form: 05PP/5-5

Barricane^p⁴⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Aidan Coleman| T: O Murphy| OR: 105

3/1

Failed to improve when remote third on 3m Southwell handicap debut 47 days ago but he's in good hands and it's clearly still early days.

Form: 6653-

Eyes Right^p1²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Tom Cannon| T: A King| OR: 105

6/1

Yet to add to bumper win over hurdles and fences, but she has been given a chance by the handicapper (now 6 lb lower than when third at Market Rasen when last seen in this sphere). Cheekpieces on.

Form: 43223-4

Rare Clouds³⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr Zac Baker⁽³⁾| T: Simon Earle| OR: 103

9/1

Fair maiden hurdler for Sue Smith who shaped as if retaining his ability on the back of 13 months off when third at Haydock (3m) for new yard in March. Pulled up at Worcester since, though.

Form: 3P52/3P-

Mr Perfect^t1²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: T Scudamore| T: Ian Williams| OR: 99

28/1

Showed ability in 2 bumpers and a hurdle back in 2019. Hasn't offered much in 2 comeback runs this spring but handicaps provide her with a more realistic chance of success. Tongue tied first time.

Form: 232/0-P

Mozzaro^p1²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: James Best| T: M Keighley| OR: 99

6/1

Bumper efforts weren't devoid of ability and stepped up on her previous efforts over hurdles when 11 lengths second in Southwell maiden 20 days ago. Cheekpieces are added now handicapping.

Form: 45456-2

Alfie Corbitt⁹⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 10-7| J: J M Quinlan| T: L Allan| OR: 89

20/1

Second at Wetherby in spring 2019 on final start for Kim Bailey but struggled in points prior to finishing down the field on Rules return in March. Has a fair bit to prove.

Form: 882PP/0-

Forecasts

Dramatic Pause (5/2), Barricane (3/1), Mozzaro (6/1), Eyes Right (6/1), In The Detail (7/1), Rare Clouds (9/1), Alfie Corbitt (20/1), Mr Perfect (28/1)

The handicapper has given a bit of a chance to EYES RIGHT so she's selected to come good back hurdling in first-time cheekpieces. The Mel Rowley team is going well so Dramatic Pulse could provide the main threat with the return to a longer trip likely to suit. Barricane was a well-held third on his handicap debut but he retains potential and is also on the shortlist.
