Cotswold Way^b¹⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-10| J: M G Nolan| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 122

Losing run dates back over 2 years and he's essentially dropping in the weights without looking ready to take advantage.

Form: 65403-4

South Terrace²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: Dr R D P Newland| OR: 121| BF

7/4

Much improved when landing gamble in Catterick maiden final run for Phil Kirby, overcoming trouble. Better form when runner-up in a Uttoxeter handicap 3 weeks ago (23.3f) and he's a big player.

Form: 64132-2

Shetland Bus^t²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: Oakley Brown⁽⁵⁾| T: Justin Landy| OR: 119

11/2

More reliable than progressive over hurdles, giving it another good go when fifth in a higher band of handicap at Aintree last month. Tongue tie re-fitted back up in trip.

Form: 7222-45

Calum Gilhooley²⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: Kielan Woods| T: D Killahena & G McPherson| OR: 117

4/1

Bumper winner who took well to hurdles in 2020, back-to-back winner of Newton Abbot novices prior to respectable runs in handicaps. Not seen to best effect on return and now tackles a new trip.

Form: 21145-4

Some Detail^p¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: Tom Buckley⁽⁵⁾| T: N J Hawke| OR: 113

9/2

Step back in right direction when staying-on sixth over 2½m at Wincanton and also shaped well when runner-up over similar trip at Huntingdon. Of serious interest back up in distance with headgear on.

Form: 54P46-2

Cage Of Fear^p1⁴⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: P J Brennan| T: F O'Brien| OR: 112

6/1

Shed maiden tag in 3m handicap chase last autumn. Didn't achieve a great deal despite finishing second back hurdling at Wincanton in April and needs to improve on that in first-time cheekpieces.

Forecasts

South Terrace (7/4), Calum Gilhooley (4/1), Some Detail (9/2), Shetland Bus (11/2), Cage Of Fear (6/1), Cotswold Way (16/1)

SOME DETAIL has been shaping up nicely in recent starts and everything looks in place for a big run back up in trip in re-fitted cheekpieces. South Terrace should have more to offer for Dr Richard Newland and is feared most.
