Age: 8| Weight: 12-6| J: Adam Wedge| T: L Morgan| OR: 112| C| D

5/1

Three-time hurdles winner for Gordon Elliott in 2018, but he's 0-14 over fences and offered little on debut for this yard at Cartmel 17 days ago. Now tried in a visor.

Form: 35557-5

Millarville^p²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Callum Bewley| T: Mrs H O Graham| OR: 104| D

5/1

Dual-hurdles winner for Oliver Sherwood. Yet to strike following 7 start over fences, but she was just touched off at Cartmel (21.2f, good) 3 weeks ago and another bold show is anticipated.

Form: 8682-52

Pakie's Dream^v³⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: Sean Quinlan| T: J Candlish| OR: 100| D

4/1

Hurdles winner at Musselburgh in November and was still leading when falling 4 out here last time. Still, that was the second time he has fallen from his last 3 starts and now 0-12 over fences.

Form: 921F7-F

Sketrick²⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: James Bowen| T: S R B Crawford| OR: 99| BF| D

5/2

Posted much her best effort over hurdles when third of 12 over 3m here last month. Well held at Ballinrobe next time, but this former point winner is worth a second look now switched to fences.

Form: 6503-39

Hitman Fred^v²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-3| J: Craig Nichol| T: R Dobbin| OR: 95| CD

7/2

Irish point winner who landed a handicap chase at Kelso in March and over this C&D last month. However, he failed to threaten off this mark at Cartmel since and looks vulnerable.

Form: 2313-17

Ashjan^p²⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 10-11| J: R P McLernon| T: Miss S E Forster| OR: 89

12/1

Dual hurdles winner who stepped up on previous chase efforts when runner-up at Hexham (2½m, good to soft) last month. Failed to complete next time, but possibilities here granted a clear round.

Form: 6344-2F

Forecasts

Sketrick (5/2), Hitman Fred (7/2), Pakie's Dream (4/1), Millarville (5/1), Global Jackpot (5/1), Ashjan (12/1), Oishin (25/1)

SKETRICK's best effort over hurdles was when third over 3m here on her penultimate start, and she is taken to make a winning debut in this sphere. Pakie's Dream was in the process of running a big race when exiting 4 out at this venue last time, but his jumping is an area of concern and a bigger threat may be posed by Millarville, who arrives here on the back of a near-miss.
