Off time: 15:55 | Winning time: 6m 30.7s

Mister Tickle^t²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 12-4| J: N F Houlihan⁽⁵⁾| T: G & J Moore| OR: 107

7/2

Fair form over hurdles in 2019 but offered little in 2 runs over fences last year and same story at Market Rasen 20 days ago. Significantly up in trip.

Form: 255/P6-7

Magic River^t,v³⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 11-12| J: Mitchell Bastyan⁽³⁾| T: M F Harris| OR: 101

9/2

Posted career best when easily winning 3m1f handicap chase at Wincanton in April, but he turned in a poor effort when seventh at Fakenham 36 days ago. Must bounce back.

Form: 42BP1-7

Joey Steel^p¹⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: Nick Scholfield| T: Christian Williams| OR: 89

3/1

Proved better than ever in finally shedding his maiden tag at Fakenham (24.2f) 17 days ago. His record suggests he's not certain to be in the same form, but big chance if he is.

Form: 452P-21

Ballintara^p³¹

Age: 9| Weight: 10-10| J: M Goldstein| T: Mrs D Grissell| OR: 85

8/1

Modest hurdler who has shown a bit more than previously over fences on his last 2 starts, though he remains one not to go overboard about.

Form: 1P/5P3-6

Hardtorock^p⁶⁵⁷

Age: 12| Weight: 10-2| J: Page Fuller| T: Mrs S Gardner| OR: 77| C

16/1

Unreliable type but both career wins have come at this venue, so worth a look returning for a new yard after 21 months off.

Form: PP3554/

Glorious Boru^p¹⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 10-0| J: James Davies| T: A Irvine| OR: 73

7/1

Remains a maiden after 21 NH runs and only 16¾ lengths eighth of 10 to Joey Steel in handicap chase at Fakenham (24.2f)) 17 days ago. Others make more appeal.

Form: U7685-8

Monty Massini^p¹⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 10-0| J: Charlie Price⁽⁵⁾| T: J L Flint| OR: 71

5/1

Remains a maiden after 22 NH runs, though did run creditably from 2 lb out of the handicap behind Joey Steel at Fakenham last time.

Form: 43726-5

Steel The China^b,t¹⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 10-0| J: Lewis Stones⁽⁷⁾| T: Mrs L C Jewell| OR: 37

40/1

Dual winner pointer but has no worthwhile form under Rules.

Form: PP66-73

Non-Runners

Krujers Girl¹⁹

Weight: 11-11| Age: 9

T: J Farrelly J: K Brogan

Forecasts

Krujers Girl (11/4), Joey Steel (3/1), Mister Tickle (7/2), Magic River (9/2), Monty Massini (5/1), Glorious Boru (7/1), Ballintara (8/1), Hardtorock (16/1), Steel The China (40/1)

KRUJERS GIRL ran out a comfortable winner on her penultimate start at Uttoxeter and looks capable of defying a 9 lb higher mark on that evidence, so she gets the vote. Joey Steel is likely to pose a big threat if reproducing his Fakenham effort.
