Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: D A Jacob| T: N J Henderson| OR: 135| D

7/1

Very useful hurdler who struck at third time of asking over fences at Kempton in May. Ran badly in Worcester novice last time though so needs to get back on track with tongue strap/cheekpieces tried.

Form: P42P-13

Chapmanshype^p1,t⁴⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: G Sheehan| T: Jamie Snowden| OR: 140| BF| D

3/1

Very useful hurdler who looked a natural over fences when scoring on chase debut at Fontwell in May. Didn't jump well in Hexham novice since but is worth another chance with cheekpieces fitted.

Form: 1170-13

Forecast^p,t⁴⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 11-6| J: Charlie Hammond| T: Dr R D P Newland| OR: 135| BF| C

5/1

Firmly back on the up when opening chase account at Stratford in May. In front when falling heavily 4 out in Worcester novice last time and sort to bounce back.

Form: F63U-1F

Ruthless Article^t⁴⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-6| J: S Bowen| T: Miss R Curtis| OR: 132

2/1

Three-time hurdle winner who proved a different proposition on second spell chasing when landing a novices' handicap at Aintree (19.9f) 48 days ago. Sure to go well again.

Form: 6P/244-1

Some Day Soon^b1³²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: Page Fuller| T: Jamie Snowden| OR: 137| C

7/2

Racked up a four-timer over hurdles in 2019 and back in good nick of late, not lasting home when ninth at Uttoxeter (23f) last time. Makes chase debut with blinkers on but faces no easy introduction.

Form: 4/29-339

Forecasts

Ruthless Article (2/1), Chapmanshype (3/1), Some Day Soon (7/2), Forecast (5/1), Adjali (7/1)

A useful novice chase in which RUTHLESS ARTICLE gets the verdict on the back of his stylish breakthrough win over fences at Aintree last month. Forecast appeals as the one to give him most to do if none the worse for his heavy Worcester fall. Chapmanshype can have a say too provided he fences better than when beaten at odds-on at Hexham.
