Our Rockstar¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Ben Bromley⁽⁷⁾| T: A Ralph| OR: 100

7/2

Back to form when ending a losing run from a career-low mark at Ludlow (21.2f) in May. Defied a 6 lb rise to follow up over same C&D 15 days later and the hat-trick looks on the cards.

Form: 4680-11

Quivvy Lough^t⁷³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: Fergus Gregory⁽³⁾| T: J Coulson| OR: 94| CD

18/1

Much improved to land C&D handicap on yard debut in September. Better than result when third there next time but unable to land a blow twice since.

Form: P/813P9-

Kind Witness^t²⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: Ben Godfrey⁽⁵⁾| T: B Lund| OR: 92

50/1

Dual winning pointer but well held in a trio of maiden hurdles in 2019.

Form: 4132-14

Mrs Doubtfire³⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 10-13| J: R T Dunne| T: Ian Williams| OR: 87

20/1

Just minor promise so far but is a half-sister to a couple of useful sorts so may do better now handicapping.

Form: 78-7

Leeswood Lily^v²⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 10-13| J: Sean Quinlan| T: J Candlish| OR: 87

15/2

Maiden who performed respectably fourth of 13 in handicap hurdle at this course (15.8f, good to soft) 26 days ago, though did have the run of the race. Significantly up in trip.

Form: 47963-4

Keep The River³⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: Harry Reed| T: T Davidson| OR: 86| BF| C

6/1

Modest hurdler who arrives winless since autumn 2018. Not disgraced when third on yard debut at Sedgefield (19.8f) in March, but produced a laboured effort at Ayr last time so others appeal more.

Form: 63553-0

Havacuppa^p1¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-10| J: Lucy Gardner| T: Mrs S Gardner| OR: 84| C

11/1

Course winner who held every chance when swerving and unseating her rider approaching the second last at Ffos Las 12 days ago. Cheekpieces on for 1st time.

Form: 071/D3-R

Baby Jane¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-7| J: Miss Becky Smith⁽³⁾| T: G Boanas| OR: 81

8/1

Ran her best race yet when second of 11 in handicap hurdle (16/1) at Stratford (22f, soft) 19 days ago, running on. Must enter calculations.

Form: 6/8F4-52

Donna's Diva²³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-5| J: Oakley Brown⁽⁵⁾| T: C Grant| OR: 79

20/1

Creditable sixth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Hexham (23.3f, good to soft, 80/1) 23 days ago, though was never better than midfield.

Form: P578-V6

Ali The Hunter^t¹⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 10-3| J: Mitchell Bastyan⁽³⁾| T: J Farrelly| OR: 77

5/1

Ran well given a bit more of a break when second of 13 in handicap hurdle at Huntingdon (25f, good, 9/1) 10 days ago. Excellent chance if reproducing that.

Form: 6762-82

Yashims Girl²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-1| J: Nick Scholfield| T: P Gundry| OR: 75

50/1

No substance to her form in maiden/novice hurdles so easy enough to look elsewhere on this switch to handicaps.

Form: 0560-3

Dorette^t¹⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: Philip Armson⁽⁷⁾| T: C N Kellett| OR: 72

9/1

Bumper winner in 2018 who looked set to open her hurdles account in September here (23.3f), hitting the front when falling at the last. Mixed bag since.

Form: 0476-64

On We Go^b1⁶²

Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: Alison Clarke⁽⁷⁾| T: Kenny Johnson| OR: 70

33/1

Failed to make an impact for some time and easy enough to look elsewhere on balance. Blinkers replace cheekpieces.

Form: 7PP66P-

Love At Dawn⁷⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: Lorcan Murtagh⁽³⁾| T: F P Murtagh| OR: 70

33/1

Poor hurdler who remains winless after 13 runs and only seventh of 11 in handicap hurdle at Sedgefield last time, so others are more persuasive.

Form: 6/30387-

Forecasts

Our Rockstar (7/2), Ali The Hunter (5/1), Keep The River (6/1), Leeswood Lily (15/2), Baby Jane (8/1), Dorette (9/1), Havacuppa (11/1), Jerminnie Green (16/1), Noble Glance (16/1), Quivvy Lough (18/1), Donna's Diva (20/1), Mrs Doubtfire (20/1), Love At Dawn (33/1), On We Go (33/1), Kind Witness (50/1), Yashims Girl (50/1)

OUR ROCKSTAR is clearly back in the groove at present and a further rise in the weights may not be enough to prevent the hat-trick given she still retains handicapping scope. Baby Jane and Ali The Hunter arrive on the back of solid efforts and they head the opposition.
