Kazontherazz^h⁸⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: James Best| T: M Keighley| OR: 99| D

9/1

Fair form in bumpers and off the mark at second attempt over hurdles at Worcester (16f) in July. Disappointed at Stratford since, though, and needs more on switch to handicapping.

Form: 92-2U15

Monty's Mission^t⁵⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: Tom Buckley⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs N S Evans| OR: 97

50/1

Made the frame a couple of times for previous connections in Ireland this year, but she's 0-20 under Rules and made little impact on debut for this yard last month.

Form: 3-404P7

Merry Mistress²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-10| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: David Dennis| OR: 97| D

7/1

Fair 2m bumper winner on debut last season but yet to match that form over hurdles and no signs of improvement for this yard last month.

Form: 785-453

Legendary Rhythm²¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: Benjamin Poste| T: T Symonds| OR: 95| D

17/2

Showed improved form to get off the mark on only her second handicap start at Uttoxeter (15.3f) in March. Failed to repeat that form at Carlisle next time but remains low mileage.

Form: 664P15-

Esme Shelby³⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: Peter Kavanagh⁽⁷⁾| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 95

4/1

Made the frame again when third in Perth handicapped (20.2f, good to soft) 34 days ago, well positioned. Others look better treated, though.

Form: 335-433

Karannelle^h,t⁵⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: James Bowen| T: D A Rees| OR: 88| D

5/1

Solid second of 6 in handicap hurdle at Newton Abbot (16.8f, good) 50 days ago, albeit no match for winner. 2 lb lower now and looks sure to make presence felt.

Form: 292402

Astra Via^t¹⁷⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams| OR: 88| D

28/1

Fitted with first-time cheekpieces when making third chase start a winning one at Sedgefield, but not got close to that level since, including back in this sphere at Newton Abbot in May.

Form: 7P1P8-9

The Feckenham Fox²⁹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-13| J: Charlie Hammond| T: M Young| OR: 86

50/1

Little impact in 3 runs between the flags, and hasn't pulled up any trees under Rules, running no sort of race when last seen at Warwick in December.

Form: 3/077FP-

Aide Memoire¹⁴⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: D A Jacob| T: N B King| OR: 84

25/1

Yet to threaten in bumpers or over hurdles and has plenty to prove on switch to handicapping.

Form: PP-80

Lime Drop¹⁹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-10| J: T J O'Brien| T: H D Daly| OR: 83

12/1

Looks limited on all known evidence, so hard to make a strong case for back from 6 months off.

Form: 7/7F949-

Princess Midnight^t¹⁶⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 10-7| J: Brendan Powell| T: C L Tizzard| OR: 80| D

16/1

Dual chase winner but the not most consistent and was below par when last seen at Fontwell in May. Likely best watched on return over smaller obstacles.

Form: 85961-0

Infiniti¹⁴⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 10-4| J: James Davies| T: B Leavy| OR: 77| D

14/1

Opened account at Leicester (15.5f) in December and posted good third in Huntingdon handicap on latest run in this sphere in May. Since run respectably on Flat and could be a player here.

Form: 4215-53

Lady Wolf^b1⁵⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: David Noonan| T: Miss G Haywood| OR: 73

16/1

Modest Flat winner but yet to score over timber, although offered more than previously when third at Newton Abbot (16.8f, good) last month. Claims if building on that in first-time blinkers.

Form: 080-863

I'm Notapartygirl⁵⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: C Brace| T: A E Jones| OR: 72

11/2

Landed a weak bumper in summer 2019 and offered little in a trio of hurdles outings thus far. However, could be more to come now sent handicapping. 1lb out of the weights.

Form: 631/P8-3

My Poem¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Ross Turner⁽⁵⁾| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 72

16/1

Fair winner at 11f on Flat but cut little ice over hurdles to date and makes limited appeal. 2 lb out of the handicap.

Form: F77469

Forecasts

Esme Shelby (4/1), Karannelle (5/1), I'm Notapartygirl (11/2), Merry Mistress (7/1), Legendary Rhythm (17/2), Kazontherazz (9/1), Lime Drop (12/1), Infiniti (14/1), My Poem (16/1), Lady Wolf (16/1), Princess Midnight (16/1), Aide Memoire (25/1), Astra Via (28/1), The Feckenham Fox (50/1), Monty's Mission (50/1)

I'M NOTAPARTYGIRL was successful in bumpers and hasn't been given a hard time in a trio of starts over hurdles. She remains open to improvement and is taken to make a successful handicap bow. Karannelle and Legendary Rhythm can also make their presence felt.
