Age: 10| Weight: 11-12| J: Mr Paddy Barlow⁽⁷⁾| T: D L Williams| OR: 74

Long-standing maiden who makes no appeal having been pulled up at Stratford 3 days ago.

Form: 46/F05P

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Miss Gina Andrews| T: T Ellis| D

5/6

Successful three times between the flags and perhaps found the test (26f) too much when only fifth in hunter at Cheltenham on Rules debut. Should get much more competitive this time.

Form: 112/1-51

Dressedforsuccess⁵⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Mr Thomas Greenwood⁽⁷⁾| T: James Latham

10/1

Winning pointer (including in April), but he's shown nothing in hunters. Hard to make a case for.

Form: 524/4P1-

Rafferty³¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Lewis Dobb⁽⁷⁾| T: J R Barlow| OR: 84

17/2

Modest hurdler for Stef Keniry and successful on point debut earlier this year. Went off too hard on hunter debut at Cheltenham, so worth another chance to show what he's capable of.

Form: 6687/1-7

Royal Chant^t⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Miss Becky Smith| T: Samantha & Jacqueline Coward| OR: 99| D

5/1

Multiple point winner who would have a chance on the pick of his Rules form. Needs to bounce back from a tame display at Southwell 6 days ago, however.

Form: P412-1P

Slievegar^p1,t³⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Toby McCain-Mitchell⁽⁷⁾| T: Ms Joanne Mccain

33/1

Last of 7 in novice hurdle at Wetherby (16f, heavy) 97 days ago. Winning pointer, but pulled up in that sphere last month, so others preferred.

Form: 3/P761P-

Some Ambition^t¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Mr Cameron Wadge⁽⁷⁾| T: W Young Jnr| OR: 69

100/1

Poor maiden hurdler/chaser who was pulled up in hunter at Hexham last time.

Form: 5P55-P8

Teescomponents Boy^p1,t1⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Mr William Easterby| T: Fiona Needham

10/1

Down the field in a bumper in 2018 and, while he's tasted success between the flags, his latest effort in that discipline was pretty tame.

Form: 25P/4-2P

Gold Time^p1¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-5| J: Miss Immy Robinson⁽⁵⁾| T: R A Owen

13/2

Thrice-winning pointer, including last 2 starts (latest May 15) and has found a weak starting point for her Rules career, so very much one to consider.

Form: 54/UU-11

One For Martha^t1¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-5| J: Miss Hannah Gregory⁽⁷⁾| T: Andrew Nicholls

100/1

Maiden pointer, unplaced last time (May 15). Hard to make a serious case for on Rules debut.

Form: 3475/P6

Forecasts

Benefaktor (5/6), Royal Chant (5/1), Gold Time (13/2), Rafferty (17/2), Dressedforsuccess (10/1), Teescomponents Boy (10/1), Slievegar (33/1), Babytaggle (40/1), One For Martha (100/1), Some Ambition (100/1)

This looks a weak maiden hunter, so it's worth chancing the Rules debutante GOLD TIME, who arrives on a hat-trick having landed her last two starts in points. Benefaktor could be excused a disappointing run at Cheltenham and he looks the main danger ahead of Rafferty.
