5/1

Completed quick hat-trick in 2m5f Wetherby handicap hurdle in April before good second of 6 back chasing at Perth (23.8f, heavy) 20 days ago. Not taken lightly returned to this sphere.

Form: P5111-2

I'm To Blame²⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Craig Nichol| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 120| D

18/1

Not disgraced over fences of late, failing to get home when fifth of 8 in 3m handicap chase at Ayr (heavy) 29 days ago. No forlorn hope back hurdling now.

Form: 8F354-5

Tossapenny²⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-10| J: Miss Becky Smith⁽³⁾| T: J S Wainwright| OR: 118| BF

12/1

Remains winless, and below-form third of 6 in novice hurdle at Fakenham (20f, good to soft) 29 days ago on final run for Evan Williams. More needed for his new handler now.

Form: 4515/3-3

Glan Y Gors^t¹²

Age: 9| Weight: 11-7| J: Aaron Anderson⁽⁷⁾| T: D Thompson| OR: 115| C

17/2

Course winner who posted creditable second in handicap at Catterick on Flat 12 days ago. Respected back hurdling.

Jelski^p⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: James Moffatt| OR: 108

8/1

Without a win since 2019 but he recorded respectable fifth of 11 in over C&D 4 days ago. Possibilities.

Form: 78/8P-65

The Blame Game^b1²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: B S Hughes| T: J Ewart| OR: 106

16/1

Fair 2m4f winner but he offered little after 4 months off when seventh of 8 in handicap at Kelso (22.7f) 28 days ago. Blinkers on now with a bit to prove.

Form: 21024-7

Aptly Put^t⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 10-10| J: Charlotte Jones⁽⁵⁾| T: James Moffatt| OR: 104

5/4

Landed 3m Newcastle handicap in March and much improved when fourth from 15 lb higher mark in handicap here (25.4f) 4 days ago. Can race off 9 lb lower here so leading claims.

Form: 5991-F4

Rubytwo^p²⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 10-6| J: Danny McMenamin| T: N G Richards| OR: 100| BF

6/1

Arrives in excellent heart, second of 11 in handicap hurdle at Perth (20.2f, heavy) 20 days ago. In the mix off an unchanged mark.

Forecasts

Aptly Put (5/4), Roxboro Road (5/1), Rubytwo (6/1), All Hail Caesar (13/2), Jelski (8/1), Glan Y Gors (17/2), Too Much To Ask (10/1), Tico Times (10/1), Tossapenny (12/1), The Blame Game (16/1), I'm To Blame (18/1)

Lots with chances. APTLY PUT recorded much his best effort from well out of the handicap when fourth here recently so gets the nod now he can race off a 9 lb lower mark. C&D scorer Too Much To Ask looks the one to give him most to do, with Roxboro Road another who needs considering back hurdling after a winning spree.
