Off time: 19:30 | Winning time: 3m 46.5s

Eviscerating^t⁸⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Nathan Moscrop⁽³⁾| T: Sara Ender| OR: 119| D

50/1

Returning from 16-month absence when good second at Wetherby (16f) in March. Unable to build on that at Hexham since, however, and questions to answer now.

Form: 5270/26-

Inn The Bull²⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-8| J: J J Burke| T: A Ralph| OR: 115| CD

9/2

Took advantage of a reduced mark when scoring at Huntingdon (15.8f) in April and run creditably in defeat twice since. Others appear better treated, though.

Form: 45/18-22

Cousin Oscar^b,t³⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 11-7| J: Theo Gillard⁽⁵⁾| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 114

13/2

Back from 7 months off when solid third of 10 in handicap hurdle at Aintree (20f, good, 14/1) 34 days ago. Entitled to build on that and not taken lightly.

Form: 25/215-3

Wasdell Dundalk^p³³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Nick Scholfield| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 111

4/1

Still a maiden but has found improvement in recent starts, latest when close third over C&D (good to soft) 33 days ago, unsuited by emphasis on speed. Just 1 lb higher now and is shortlisted.

Form: 6753-23

Gerolamo Cardano^p¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Kielan Woods| T: D J Jeffreys| OR: 105| D

11/1

Made winning hurdles bow at Hereford last year but has largely disappointed since, going in snatches when well held at Southwell latest.

Form: P/066-P3

Nye Bevan^t³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: Mr Jamie Neild⁽¹⁰⁾| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 104| CD

5/1

Took form to a new level when comfortably supplementing his Fontwell win over C&D in May. Not been in same form since, though, and others more persuasive.

Form: 221-139

Ronde De Nuit^p1³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: T J O'Brien| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 107| BF| D

7/2

Off the mark at Taunton (16.5f) in April and improved on that when good second of 12 in handicap hurdle at Stratford (18.7f, good) 30 days ago. Cheekpieces now added and must enter calculations.

Form: 584P1-2

Hats Off To Larry^b,t¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-4| J: Henry Brooke| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 97

6/1

Fairly-useful Flat winner who opened his account in this sphere at Market Rasen in May. Similar form in defeat in 3 starts since and should give another good account here.

Form: 04-1343

Forecasts

Ronde De Nuit (7/2), Wasdell Dundalk (4/1), Inn The Bull (9/2), Nye Bevan (5/1), Hats Off To Larry (6/1), Cousin Oscar (13/2), Gerolamo Cardano (11/1), Eviscerating (50/1)

WASDELL DUNDALK has been gradually improving and looks ready to shed his maiden tag. Ronde de Nuit and Cousin Oscar rate the principal dangers.
