7/2

Has made a good start over hurdles, winning at Southwell (2m) in April. Edged out only close home on Huntingdon handicap bow next time and respected back from a break up in trip.

Form: 541-2

9/4

Poor in Newton Abbot handicap last time but this looks easier back at the scene of his breakthrough hurdles success and a 5 lb drop in the weights can only help his cause. Very interesting.

Form: 6/2107-P

Court Royale⁷⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams| OR: 114| D

17/2

Hit the target twice over fences at up to this trip last year but wasn't in much form when last seen in June.

Form: 323-5P6

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: Kielan Woods| T: B Pauling| OR: 113| C

5/2

Successful over a bit further here in May. Not so good at Bangor 11 weeks on and clearly needs a bit more from this mark.

Form: 4952-16

9/2

Improved to get off the mark over hurdles on handicap bow at Newbury (16.3f) in March. Just fair runs twice since from revised mark and well held after breathing op/break on the level 22 days ago.

Form: 53317-3

Forecasts

Vorashann (9/4), Northern Bound (5/2), Pawpaw (7/2), Iron Heart (9/2), Court Royale (17/2)

VORASHANN is on a very tempting mark back at the scene of his hurdles win last autumn and gets the vote. 4-y-o Pawpaw looks the danger after going close at Huntingdon when last seen in May.
