Captain Moirette¹⁹⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 12-3| J: Charlotte Jones⁽⁵⁾| T: James Moffatt| OR: 112

15/2

Ended last season out of sorts, below form back over hurdles at Hexham when last seen 6 months ago. Has left Sue Smith since and will probably need this reappearance.

Form: 59F355-

Donladd¹⁹²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: B S Hughes| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 107| CD

5/2

Fair hurdler who confirmed previous promise to open his account in 14-runner handicap hurdle over C&D in April. Form of that win is strong and he was amiss next time, so one to note on return.

Form: 67221P-

Universal Folly¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Danny McMenamin| T: N G Richards| OR: 104

4/1

Yet to get his head in front and has underperformed the last twice. Easier ground should help. So he's not completely discounted from a sliding mark.

Form: 6-P4267

Kings Creek^t¹¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-8| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: M Walford| OR: 104

22/1

Juvenile hurdle winner for Iain Jardine last winter. Better effort for new yard during the summer when sixth at Market Rasen in July but he will need more from his current mark.

Form: 1459-76

Wor Verge^t¹⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-6| J: Nathan Moscrop⁽³⁾| T: S Corbett| OR: 101

3/1

In good form through the spring and picked up where he left off when just touched off here on reappearance 17 days ago. Softer ground will bring his stamina into play more, so he's a big player.

Form: 731-252

Cellar Vie²²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Alan Doyle⁽⁷⁾| T: J Ewart| OR: 95WS

13/2

Fair form in bumpers in 2018/19 but only modest over hurdles and produced a tame effort on handicap bow here 7 months ago. Returns with a bit to prove.

Form: 35/7645-

Dunnottar Castle¹⁷²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-4| J: Sean Quinlan| T: Mrs J Stephen| OR: 85

10/1

Modest in bumpers but hasn't shown enough over hurdles to make him of interest on handicap bow.

Form: 6359-P

Forecasts

Donladd (5/2), Wor Verge (3/1), Universal Folly (4/1), Honda Fifty (9/2), Cellar Vie (13/2), Captain Moirette (15/2), Dunnottar Castle (10/1), Willy Nilly (16/1), Kingofthecotswolds (20/1), Kings Creek (22/1)

DONLADD scored quite impressively over C&D in April and is best forgiven his only subsequent run, so he gets the nod over Wor Verge who returned with an excellent second here recently. Honda Fifty is also considered.
