15/2

Backed at long odds and improved back over hurdles after 10 weeks off when second in a 21f maiden at Warwick in April. Got an easy lead but couldn't make it pay on handicap debut at Ffos Las, though.

Form: 04F/P2-5

Muddled Up¹⁸

Looks one for the longer term on early evidence.

Form: 0-9F

Prime Pretender⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams| OR: 115

9/2

Winning pointer who has shown promise in bumpers and over hurdles, including when second in a 3-runner novice over C&D last week. Player.

Form: 125-352

Seinesational^p³⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: Dr R D P Newland| OR: 115

5/6

Useful handicapper on Flat. Has yet to match that form in this sphere but latest run at Market Rasen is proving strong form for the time of the year and he will be suited by this return to further.

Form: 42-4

Ultimate Getaway^p1,t²⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: P J Brennan| T: F O'Brien| OR: 110

9/2

Fair dual 2m bumper scorer last summer. Below expectations so far over hurdles but his latest effort at Stratford on reappearance was at least a small step forward. Cheekpieces on for 1st time.

Form: 11245-4

Wavecrest³⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Tom Buckley⁽⁵⁾| T: N J Hawke

20/1

€28,000 3-y-o, £22,000 6-y-o, Carlotamix gelding. Half-brother to fair hurdler The Irregular, stays 2½m. Maiden Irish pointer, third both starts in May. Market can guide.

Form: P0/3-3

Carrig Coch¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Jack Tudor⁽³⁾| T: Christian Williams

125/1

Well held in bumper/maiden hurdles.

Form: 9-76

Zoran^t³²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Harry Cobden| T: P F Nicholls

9/1

Fairly useful on the Flat (bought for 77,000 gns by new connections). Has made an inauspicious start over hurdles, easy to back and again not settling at Sedgefield last month. Bit to prove.

Form: 6-7

Forecasts

Seinesational (5/6), Ultimate Getaway (9/2), Prime Pretender (9/2), Fat Sam (15/2), Zoran (9/1), Natural Look (12/1), Wavecrest (20/1), Happy Larry (50/1), Carrig Coch (125/1), Deep Inferno (150/1), Muddled Up (200/1), King Frank (250/1)

SEINESATIONAL has yet to come close to matching his useful Flat ability over hurdles, but he wasn't beaten far in a race working out well at Market Rasen last time and can now do his bit for the form. Prime Pretender rates the main threat ahead of Ultimate Getaway.
