Seemingly So^v1⁷⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 12-2| J: Adam Wedge| T: L Morgan| OR: 107

9/4

Hurdles winner who failed to kick on from a positive start for Olly Murphy but now drops in grade with a first-time visor on for a new stable, so worth chancing if strong in the betting.

Form: 2/2445-3

Frau Georgia^p,t²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: T Scudamore| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 101| C

11/2

Winner over hurdles here last September and, after a spell in the doldrums, fared better when third in handicap at Market Rasen last time. One to note back over fences.

Form: PP4-PU3

Southern Girl^v1¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: D R Fox| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 100| D

16/1

Expensive point winner who offered some encouragement over hurdles first 3 starts but has gone the wrong way since, including in 2 tries over fences. Visor now on.

Form: U2P0-P5

Gun Merchant^p⁷¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-9| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: Mrs A C Hamilton| OR: 100

25/1

Fair sort over hurdles for Gordon Elliott in Ireland. By no means disgraced when third at Kelso (23.4f, good) back from a break but shaped as if amiss at Hexham 71 days ago. Others preferred.

Form: 3754-36

Grumpy Mcgrumpface¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: Ross Chapman| T: R Menzies| OR: 88

9/2

Modest hurdler who relished the switch to chasing when second at Cartmel 11 days ago, clear of the remainder. Definite player if he can back that up.

Form: 5P9-872

Doldrum Bay²⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 10-10| J: Callum Bewley| T: D W Whillans| OR: 87| D

22/1

Poor maiden hurdler who offered little returning from an absence on debut for this stable here last time. Plenty to prove having first try over fences.

Form: 3PP13/5

Breaking The Ice^p¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-7| J: D B Hurst⁽¹⁰⁾| T: G Bewley| OR: 84

9/2

Has made a positive start over fences and found plenty when getting the better of Grumpy McGrumpface at Cartmel 11 days ago. Another solid showing is expected.

Form: 87-0521

Istimraar^h,t¹¹

Age: 10| Weight: 10-6| J: Henry Brooke| T: A B Hamilton| OR: 83| CD

8/1

Winless since last summer and arrives on the back of a poor run. Tends to go well at this track, however, so not a forlorn hope.

Form: 4-20729

Frankies Fire²⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: C O'Farrell| T: J Walton| OR: 73| D

12/1

Poor maiden hurdler who hasn't made an impact this season and unseated her rider on her sole previous go over fences.

Form: 53-2056

Non-Runners

Katalystic¹

Weight: 11-12| Age: 10

T: Miss Lucinda V Russell J: S Mulqueen

Forecasts

Seemingly So (9/4), Breaking The Ice (9/2), Grumpy Mcgrumpface (9/2), Frau Georgia (11/2), Istimraar (8/1), Frankies Fire (12/1), Katalystic (14/1), Southern Girl (16/1), Doldrum Bay (22/1), Gun Merchant (25/1)

SEEMINGLY SO is becoming well treated and has joined a shrewd yard, so he's worth a chance to gain his first chasing success in a first-time visor. Breaking The Ice and Grumpy McGrumpface fought out the finish at Cartmel recently and are likely to be on the premises again.
