Ash Hill¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: D R Fox| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 127| D

6/4

Fairly useful ex-Irish hurdler who, on the back of a lengthy absence, proved he retains all his ability when runner-up in a Perth novice chase (2m) 2 weeks ago. Big player with a repeat.

Form: 17163/2

Exit Ten⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 11-2| J: C O'Farrell| T: J Walton

150/1

Dual winning pointer who was friendless in the betting and ultimately showed little when last of 4 in a 20f novice chase here 8 days ago. Can only be watched on the back of that.

Form: 6P/9P-F4

Fisher Green^t²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-2| J: Ross Chapman| T: M A Barnes| OR: 112| D

15/2

Readily made all in 2m handicap at Wetherby in March and not disgraced when fifth in 8-runner Kelso handicap hurdle in May, that despite doing too much too soon. Market may guide now chasing.

Form: 3105-65

Ming Dynasty^t¹⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 11-2| J: B S Hughes| T: B Ellison| OR: 125| D

5/2

Useful ex-Irish 2m hurdler. Hit the frame on 2 of 3 starts over fences for new yard, matching previous best when third at Perth latest (Ash Hill placed second). Expected to be in the mi.

Form: 5F35-23

Recent Revelations^b,t²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Jordan Gainford⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs D Foster| OR: 118| D

11/4

Fairly useful hurdler/chaser. Last 3 efforts over fences have been disappointing, never landing a blow when well beaten fourth in a Punchestown maiden (2m) in May. Still, note entirely ruled out.

Form: 4250-P4

Forecasts

Ash Hill (6/4), Ming Dynasty (5/2), Recent Revelations (11/4), Fisher Green (15/2), Exit Ten (150/1)

ASH HILL proved he retains all his ability on the back of a lengthy absence when just touched off in a Perth novice 2 weeks ago and he earns the vote in the hope he doesn't find this coming too soon. Ming Dynasty, who finished behind the selection last time, and Irish-raider Recent Revelations head up the dangers.
