Daybreak Boy^p¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Conor Ring⁽³⁾| T: M Gates| OR: 120

80/1

Dual ex-Irish hurdle winner during 2018/19 campaign but patchy form since. Has failed to beat a rival in 2 outings for current yard and can only be watched until showing more.

Form: 7488-74

Neverbeen To Paris³⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: Harry Bannister| T: P G Murphy| OR: 119| D

14/1

Form is a little up and down over hurdles/fences and he was well beaten back hurdling at Bangor last month. Has subsequently left Harry Whittington. Others appeal more.

Form: P8360-7

Howling Milan¹⁷⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: Liam Harrison⁽⁵⁾| T: S Drinkwater| OR: 118| BF

11/4

Well suited by the step up to 3m when 2 lengths second of 16 at Newbury in February. Twice failed to reproduce that back there in March but he is capable off this mark if primed after a break.

Form: 703295-

Morraman³⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-8| J: Abbie McCain⁽⁵⁾| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 116| D

13/2

Dual hurdles winner who has been lightly raced in recent seasons but has shown enough to suggest he retains his ability in 2 outings this term. Each-way claims.

Form: 524/0-64

An Tailliur¹²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 116| D

2/1

Completed the hat-trick when coasting home in 3-runner Southwell handicap (20.5f, good) in May. Finds himself 13 lb higher on his return from a break but there's a good chance he has more to offer

Form: 662-111

Faint Hope^t⁶⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 11-7| J: Ben Jones| T: G Harris| OR: 115| D

13/2

Latest win in hurdle at Kempton in May. Also a good second at Uttoxeter in June but he wasn't at his best back there in July.

Form: P2-1427

Searching^p²⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 10-13| J: C Brace| T: G Harris| OR: 107| D

50/1

Winner at Market Rasen in July 2020. Just as good when third at Uttoxeter last autumn but he didn't offer much in 2 comeback runs on the Flat last month. One of 2 runners from the stable.

Form: 5P/1735-

Seaborough¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: Aaron Anderson⁽⁷⁾| T: D Shaw| OR: 96

11/2

Overall strike rate is poor, but he has found just one too good in Uttoxeter handicaps on his last 3 starts. Ought to be in the thick of things once again.

Form: 5-36222

Forecasts

An Tailliur (2/1), Howling Milan (11/4), Seaborough (11/2), Faint Hope (13/2), Morraman (13/2), Neverbeen To Paris (14/1), Searching (50/1), Daybreak Boy (80/1)

AN TAILLIUR was a big improver in handicaps in the spring and is selected to pick up where he left off on his return from a break. Seaborough arrives on the back of 3 runner-up efforts and should give another good account, while Howling Milan will also play a part if recapturing anything like the form he showed when second at Newbury at the start of the year.
