Hunting Percival⁸³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: J J Burke| T: T Lacey| OR: 112

5/6

Lightly-raced bumper/hurdles winner who ran just about his best race yet when third on handicap debut at Doncaster in March (19.4f). Stuck to his task well that day and now up markedly in trip.

Form: 13/1453-

Jamessaintpatrick^p⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-5| J: J M Quinlan| T: Miss A Murphy| OR: 105

9/2

Sole success thus far came back in 2019. Been rather hit and miss since, disappointing on chase debut at Hereford and same story back hurdling last month.

Form: 403P-64

Here's Herbie^t³⁴

Age: 13| Weight: 11-4| J: Lucy Gardner| T: Mrs S Gardner| OR: 104

12/1

Not scored for over 2 years and last couple of efforts have really lacked spark. Hopes rest on this new trip.

Form: 89337-8

Khan^t1²⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Harry Reed| T: M F Harris| OR: 100

15/2

Winner of 2m Plumpton maiden hurdle in January but he's failed to back it up completed starts since and now upped markedly in distance.

Form: 51PU7-7

Uno Mas¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-10| J: Jack Tudor⁽³⁾| T: Christian Williams| OR: 96| D

11/2

Multiple hurdles winner but seemed to find the fences a struggle last 2 starts 6 months apart. Back over timber.

Forecasts

Hunting Percival (5/6), Drumlee Watar (2/1), Jamessaintpatrick (9/2), Top Man (9/2), Uno Mas (11/2), Khan (15/2), Here's Herbie (12/1)

Most of these try this sort of trip for the first time, but DRUMLEE WATAR's stamina is assured and his runner-up effort on penultimate start stands out as persuasive form in the context of this. He gets the vote in the hope he reacts positively to cheekpieces, with Hunting Percival and Top Man feared most.
