Staple Head^p1²⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: James Bowen| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 105

7/2

No serious impact in hunters earlier this year but has added to his tally in points recently and returns to Rules for an in-form new yard. Watch betting.

Form: 5PU-C1U

Imperial Acolyte²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 104

10/3

Has run creditably all 3 starts this season, latest when fourth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Ffos Las (20f) 20 days ago. Has his attentions quickly returned to chasing and ought to go well again.

Form: 450-224

Sense Of Adventure^p1¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: Shane Quinlan⁽⁵⁾| T: L Allan| OR: 91

20/1

Poor maiden hurdler who was soundly beaten on his sole chase start at Fakenham in May. Cheekpieces on for 1st time.

Form: 3P-5486

Shady Oaks^v²⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 10-9| J: Adam Wedge| T: C & A Pogson| OR: 88

8/1

Has a couple of bits of form that give him a major chance off his current mark, but he's essentially a disappointing maiden who is worth taking on. Visor back on.

Form: 44727-P

Regaby¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: C J Todd⁽³⁾| T: Ian Williams| OR: 78

2/1

Showed more upped in trip after 11 weeks off when second of 9 in handicap hurdle at Huntingdon (20.7f, good) 18 days ago, clear of rest. Sent chasing now and may do better still.

Form: 0/89P7-2

West Class⁹⁹³

Age: 10| Weight: 10-0| J: J Kington| T: P Winks| OR: 77

33/1

Poor maiden over hurdles who has been absent since final start in 2018/19. This just his second chase start.

Form: 687446/

Alburn^h²³

Age: 11| Weight: 10-0| J: Philip Armson⁽⁷⁾| T: R J Armson| OR: 71

14/1

First sign of ability under Rules when seventh of 13 in handicap chase at Warwick (20f, good to soft, 66/1) 23 days ago. Needs to build on that now.

Form: 55/P6-77

Onenightintown^t,v¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: Alain Cawley| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 68

15/2

Unreliable sort who was flattered by his finishing position in a first-time visor when third of 8 in handicap chase at this course (17.2f, good) 14 days ago.

Form: 8058-83

Forecasts

Regaby (2/1), Imperial Acolyte (10/3), Staple Head (7/2), Onenightintown (15/2), Shady Oaks (8/1), Alburn (14/1), Sense Of Adventure (20/1), West Class (33/1)

IMPERIAL ACOLYTE is going through a good spell at the moment and is taken to capitalise. Staple Head and Regaby easily make most appeal of the opposition, especially the former, who is a dual point winner returning to Rules for an in-form new yard.
