Enchancia⁷²

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Ben Bromley⁽⁷⁾| T: B Pauling| OR: 102

40/1

Milan gelding who didn't kick on in 2 starts following his Leicester debut effort last winter. Easy to back and looked rusty on return/handicap debut at Ludlow in December and absent again since.

Form: 13P7/9P-

Jamessaintpatrick^b²⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: J M Quinlan| T: Miss A Murphy| OR: 100

11/1

Sole success thus far came back in 2019. Been rather hit and miss since, no match for the principals when third at Fontwell (25.7f) early on last month. Blinkers refitted now.

Form: 03P-643

Layerthorpe¹⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 11-9| J: Ben Jones⁽³⁾| T: Mrs D A Hamer| OR: 97| D

6/1

Landed a hat-trick in staying handicap hurdles in 2019. Disappointed last summer but more like it of late, collared late on when second at Southwell (3m) last time. Considered.

Form: 1/B30-32

Hattaab^b²⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-8| J: Kielan Woods| T: D Killahena & G McPherson| OR: 96| CD

13/2

Sole success came in a C&D maiden back in 2019 but deserving of extra credit when 8 lengths second at Southwell (3m) recently, making effort around the whole field 3 out. One to consider.

Form: 8255-P2

Durouyn²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: K Brogan⁽⁵⁾| T: Henry Oliver| OR: 92

5/2

Maiden who put in good shifts when placed at Sedgefield and at Warwick in December. Below form next 2 starts but back on track when fourth of 10 over 20f at Aintree last time. One to bear in mind.

Form: P2300-4

Rossderrin³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Tom Midgley⁽⁷⁾| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 90

8/1

Notched second success in points last month, but record under Rules is hardly compelling and beaten 28 lengths when fourth on debut for new yard back hurdling at Hexham 4 weeks ago.

Form: 72U-314

Stephanie Sunshine^t²⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-2| J: P J Brennan| T: Katy Price| OR: 90

10/1

Long-standing maiden who ran up to best when 4 lengths third of 6 over extended 3m at Aintree in June. Rates an each-way player once more with a repeat.

Form: 38/5-743

Fern Owl^p,t1²³

Age: 9| Weight: 10-12| J: R T Dunne| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 86

50/1

Flat/hurdles winner who was below her best in 2 starts upon joining this stable last term and fared no better in course handicaps so far this campaign. Best watched unless betting indicates otherwise.

Form: 01/78-07

Jonjoela^v1⁶²

Age: 10| Weight: 10-10| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: A M Hales| OR: 84

22/1

Started out for the yard in good form but she's suffered heavy defeats the last twice, the latest back over hurdles at Southwell (3m) in May.

Form: 1/2252-0

Bridey's Lettuce²³

Age: 9| Weight: 10-9| J: C J Todd⁽³⁾| T: C & A Pogson| OR: 83

22/1

Got his head back in front over hurdles at Wetherby (3m) in April. Quickly back into his shell since.

Form: 71-8P5F

Ulysses^v¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-8| J: James Davies| T: D Shaw| OR: 82

18/1

Fallen markedly in the weights and proved he retains ability when just touched off at Uttoxeter (23.3f) at the start of the month. However, not in anything like the same form at Southwell since.

Form: F7-P720

Tom O'Roughley^p,t1⁶⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: Jack Tudor⁽³⁾| T: A Ralph| OR: 76

8/1

Yet to trouble the judge in 4 starts over timber and switch to handicapping last time brought no improvement. Tongue strap on for first time.

Form: 18/960-0

Henri Morgan Parry^p1,h1,t³²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: S Bowen| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 73

14/1

Little impact in bumpers/over hurdles last season and similar story over fences so far this campaign. Switches back to hurdles now but hard to make a solid case for.

Form: 704P-5P

Stripe Of Honour^v1¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: Charlie Price⁽⁵⁾| T: A Day| OR: 62

200/1

No worthwhile form in various race-types, first beaten when well held ninth of 10 at Southwell (3m) 2 weeks ago. No easy task on from long way out of the weights here.

Form: 09P-459

Forecasts

Durouyn (5/2), Frankie Baby (5/1), Layerthorpe (6/1), Hattaab (13/2), Tom O'Roughley (8/1), Rossderrin (8/1), Stephanie Sunshine (10/1), Dorette (10/1), Jamessaintpatrick (11/1), Henri Morgan Parry (14/1), Ulysses (18/1), Bridey's Lettuce (22/1), Jonjoela (22/1), Enchancia (40/1), Fern Owl (50/1), Stripe Of Honour (200/1)

A typically competitive big-field handicap with a chance taken on maiden DUROUYN. Well backed on the back of 12 weeks off, he was a good Aintree fourth in a stronger race which was a definite step back in the right direction and this longer trip is worth exploring. Hattaab ran well at Southwell and is feared, along with Layerthorpe and Dorette.
