Heavey^p,t⁵⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: R P McLernon| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 102

3/1

Fair hurdles winner who is yet to match pick of form in that sphere over fences, just a respectable fourth at Worcester a couple of months ago. Not a forlorn hope down in grade, though.

Form: 02-4544

Tractor Fred^t¹⁸⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Page Fuller| T: Jamie Snowden| OR: 102| D

15/2

Opened his account at Plumpton in March. Not quite at best subsequently but summer break may well have freshened him up, so can't be discounted.

Form: 4P0135-

Colonel Manderson^p1¹⁵⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-10| J: Bridget Andrews| T: D Skelton| OR: 100WS

10/3

Failed to go on over hurdles and first couple of efforts over fences were uninspiring. Off 5 months and new stable are trying cheekpieces, so worth considering if strong in the betting.

Form: 54/676-4

Orchestrated^b⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 10-11| J: Charlie Hammond| T: M Young| OR: 87| C

9/4

Well handicapped and has found some form since joining current stable, runner-up at Stratford 4 days ago. Obvious claims if the race doesn't come too soon.

Form: 62F-P52

Mogestic¹⁴³

Age: 12| Weight: 10-6| J: David Noonan| T: J W Mullins| OR: 82| CD

25/1

C&D winner. 14/1, pulled up in handicap chase here (good to firm) 143 days ago. Returns with plenty to prove, particularly as he'll likely strip fitter for the run.

Form: 4PP42-P

Nessfield Blue¹⁶⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-6| J: G Sheehan| T: P G Murphy| OR: 82

6/1

Winless following 17 attempts. Below form when only fifth at Warwick on final outing last season, and liable to need this return, so others preferred.

Form: 73PP4-5

Abbey Street¹⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 10-5| J: Mitchell Bastyan⁽³⁾| T: P Henderson| OR: 81

25/1

Winless between the flags/under Rules and pulled up over hurdles at this course on return. Plenty to prove.

Form: 4P853-P

Forecasts

Orchestrated (9/4), Heavey (3/1), Colonel Manderson (10/3), Nessfield Blue (6/1), Tractor Fred (15/2), Good Man Vinnie (16/1), Abbey Street (25/1), Mogestic (25/1)

TRACTOR FRED bolted up at Plumpton in March and, despite a couple of lesser efforts since, is worth a chance to get back on the up and land this ordinary contest on reappearance. Colonel Manderson is a big threat if his new yard have revitalised him, while Orchestrated should be on the premises if not undone by a quick turnaround.
