Theocrat^t¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 12-1| J: Kieren Buckley⁽⁵⁾| T: N J Hawke| OR: 116| D

8/1

15/2, career best when winning 2m handicap hurdle at Worcester 18 days ago by ½ length from Glimpse of Gold. On the upgrade recently, and can make his presence felt despite 6 lb rise.

Form: 3-644F1

Fanfan Du Seuil¹⁷⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: J J Burke| T: T R George| OR: 112

11/2

It's now eleven runs since his last win in 2018, and cheekpieces tried when only twelfth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Strasbourg (19f) 177 days ago. Returns with work to do.

Form: 0/5P7P0-

Glimpse Of Gold^t¹⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 11-10| J: Alexander Thorne⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs S J Humphrey| OR: 110| D

9/2

20/1, good second of 12 to Theocrat in handicap hurdle at Worcester (16f, good) 18 days ago. Upped 4 lb but front two were clear, so he remains in the picture.

Form: 6-54852

Borak^p,t¹⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 11-9| J: Nick Scholfield| T: D Faulkner| OR: 109| D

18/1

Back with 2m Newton Abbot success before below-par fourth of 10 in handicap at Worcester (16f, soft) 14 days ago where he raced too freely. Not ruled out if settling better on this occasion.

Form: B17/4-14

Tonyx^h¹⁷⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: J M Quinlan| T: Miss A Murphy| OR: 108| BF

5/2

Fair 10f Flat winner who opened his account over hurdles in 2m Sedgefield novice. Off since falling 2 out in Taunton novice later in April but has the form to bounce back on her return. Hood back on.

Form: 2341F-

Enlighten²⁶⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: B S Hughes| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 106| D

11/1

Modest maiden hurdler. Good second in jumpers bumper at Newcastle in January but off the track since. More is needed on his comeback.

Form: 748/242-

Peltwell^p¹⁹⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-6| J: T Scudamore| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 106| D

17/2

In fine form when last seen in the spirng, readily rattling off a four-timer in 2m handicap at Hexham. Yard is going well, so she rates a player on her seasonal reappearance.

Form: P01111-

Man Of Light¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 11-6| J: T J O'Brien| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 107

12/1

Gained his first win in 2m Bangor maiden hurdle in May and not disgraced after 3 months off when fading eighth to Theocrat in handicap at Worcester 18 days ago. Should strip fitter now. Considered.

Form: 4-U158

Great Hall³³

Age: 11| Weight: 10-10| J: Bryan Carver⁽³⁾| T: M Quinn| OR: 96| CD

15/2

C&D winner but it's now eighteen runs since his last success. Back hurdling now with something to prove.

Form: 447257-

Forecasts

Tonyx (5/2), Glimpse Of Gold (9/2), Fanfan Du Seuil (11/2), Great Hall (15/2), Theocrat (8/1), Peltwell (17/2), Enlighten (11/1), Man Of Light (12/1), Borak (18/1)

PELTWELL looked to have more in the locker when landing a quick-fire four-timer at Hexham in the spring and with her yard in excellent nick she is taken to pick up where she left off on her return. Theocrat is feared most on the back of his recent Worcester success, although the returning Tonyx is weighted to go well if bouncing back from her Taunton fall.
