Jaunty Soria³⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 95

10/3

20/1, respectable fourth of 15 in handicap hurdle at this C&D (good to soft) 39 days ago. Merits consideration off a 3 lb lower mark now.

Form: 321/37-4

Arty Campbell^p²²

Age: 11| Weight: 11-7| J: Robert Williams⁽³⁾| T: B J Llewellyn| OR: 90| D

22/1

Last of 8 in handicap hurdle at Ffos Las (20f, good) 22 days ago. Winless since 2019 but weighted to have a say if shrugging off latest effort.

Form: 8/4330-8

Mister Serious^p²¹

Age: 12| Weight: 11-7| J: Miss H C Tucker⁽⁷⁾| T: B Barr| OR: 90

80/1

Pulled up in hunter chase (100/1) at Cheltenham in April (also pulled up both starts in points this year, latest May 30), so lightly-raced veteran has lots to prove back in this sphere on yard bow.

Form: P3/PP-PP

Balladame⁴⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Benjamin Poste| T: T Symonds| OR: 88| BF

3/1

3/1, first run since leaving Tom George when encouraging third of 12 in handicap at Newton Abbot (18.5f, good) 46 days ago, no extra only late on. On a good mark, and bold showing is on the cards.

Form: 9/7323-3

Thirtyfourstitches⁵⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: D J Jeffreys| OR: 87

8/1

14/1, only ninth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Chepstow (16f, good) 58 days ago. Up in trip with work to do to open his account.

Form: 339599-

Kilchreest Moon²¹

Age: 10| Weight: 11-1| J: Nick Scholfield| T: Henry Oliver| OR: 84

7/2

9/4, landed 8-runner handicap hurdle at Fontwell (21.8f, good to firm) 21 days ago. Hit with a further 4 lb rise but veteran is not taken lightly in his hat-trick bid.

Form: 99/021-1

River Llynfi²²²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Jack Tudor⁽³⁾| T: D Brace| OR: 83

40/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 300/1, tenth of 12 in novice hurdle at Hereford (16.2f, good to soft) 7 months ago. Up in trip for handicap debut with lots to find.

Form: 990-

Andapa^p¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 10-11| J: T J O'Brien| T: M Roberts| OR: 80| C

7/1

It's now twelve runs since last win in 2018, and below form fifth of 10 in handicap hurdle (15/2) at Market Rasen (20.6f, good) 16 days ago. Easily opposed.

Form: 3/258-95

Tarrona³²

Age: 12| Weight: 10-9| J: Fergus Gregory⁽³⁾| T: A Phillips| OR: 78

16/1

Remains a maiden after 23 runs, but he posted creditable sixth of 14 in handicap at Southwell (20.4f, good) 32 days ago. Can give another good account.

Form: 87086-6

Silver Quay⁶³

Age: 9| Weight: 10-8| J: Caoilin Quinn⁽⁷⁾| T: J D Frost| OR: 77

40/1

Winless since 2019, and pulled up in handicap chase at Stratford (19.4f, good) 63 days ago, beaten long way out. Hard to fancy.

Form: 80P/09P-

Midnight Jewel²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-5| J: Jordan Nailor⁽³⁾| T: C E Longsdon| OR: 74

11/1

14/1, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Fontwell (17.7f, good to firm) 21 days ago. Needs to get back on track in search of a first victory.

Form: PP44-7P

Thebudinpundit²⁰³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: G Sheehan| T: Mrs S Gardner| OR: 63

33/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Pulled up in novice hurdle (250/1) at Leicester (20.5f) when last seen out 6 months ago. Into handicaps with plenty on his plate from 6 lb out of the handicap.

Form: 05/90P-

Forecasts

Balladame (3/1), Jaunty Soria (10/3), Kilchreest Moon (7/2), Andapa (7/1), Thirtyfourstitches (8/1), Midnight Jewel (11/1), Tarrona (16/1), Arty Campbell (22/1), Thebudinpundit (33/1), Silver Quay (40/1), River Llynfi (40/1), Mister Serious (80/1)

BALLADAME made an encouraging start for Tom Symonds when third at Newton Abbot and can capitalise on a lenient mark now for her shrewd handler. Veteran Kilchreest Moon rates the obvious threat in his hat-trick attempt, with Jaunty Soria appealing as the pick of the remainder now the official assessor has shown her some respite.
