Trac²³

Age: 4| Weight: 11-12| J: Alain Cawley| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 100

66/1

Fair hurdler/chaser in France and shaped as though better for the run back from a break when fifth starting out for new yard at Wetherby,

Form: P35-445

Get Phar¹⁴⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: Craig Nichol| T: D Brooke| OR: 99| BF

10/1

Placed 4 times in handicap hurdles at up to 25f for Eoin Griffin during the spring. Marked drop back in trip may not be ideal on debut for new yard.

Form: 733-328

Bestiarius³⁸⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 11-9| J: B S Hughes| T: G Boanas| OR: 97| D

15/2

Bumper winner who went close in 2m Newcastle handicap in January 2020. Subsequent efforts in this sphere and over fences not so good and he's been off the track a year.

Form: 24U4/9F-

Lord Caprio^t³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: K Brogan⁽³⁾| T: B Haslam| OR: 96| CD

2/1

Value for extra when cashing in on a career-low mark over C&D in August . Shaped as though still in form at Sedgefield last month and same mark here.

Form: P-73413

Dan Gun²²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: William Shanahan⁽⁷⁾| T: S Waugh| OR: 94

40/1

Resurgent upon joining Dan Skelton, capitalising on reduced mark to land handicaps at Stratford/Bangor. Handicapper caught up with him and well held completed start for this yard.

Form: 115-59F

Stowaway John¹⁷¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: S Mulqueen| T: Miss S E Forster| OR: 92

50/1

Displayed ability in bumpers for Ronald O'Neill but yet to make any impact over hurdles for current yard.

Form: 95U84-P

Fernhill Dane¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: Nathan Moscrop⁽³⁾| T: R Menzies| OR: 85

7/2

Easily best effort over hurdles when third of 10 on handicap debut at Carlisle a fortnight ago. Repeat performance will see him firmly in the mix.

Form: 9392-3

Sugar Butties¹⁸⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: Thomas Dowson| T: P A Kirby| OR: 84

50/1

No promise in his qualifying runs but handicaps are more suitable.

Form: 87-0

Click And Collect^p²¹⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 10-4| J: Sean Quinlan| T: J Candlish| OR: 78

5/1

Maiden and essentially underachieving over hurdles, rarely finishing with much gusto.

Form: 566673-

Coeur Aimant^p¹³⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-3| J: Peter Kavanagh⁽⁷⁾| T: B Butterworth| OR: 77

8/1

Yet to pull up any trees over hurdles though was backed as though expected to perform much better at Perth in June (rider lost action). Cheekpieces on.

Form: 00P0-5P

Baraboy^p²²

Age: 11| Weight: 10-0| J: Danny McMenamin| T: F P Murtagh| OR: 74| CD

16/1

Fair hurdler at best but off 41 months after and probably working his way back to fitness. Cheekpieces back on.

Form: 4249/07

Forecasts

Lord Caprio (2/1), Fernhill Dane (7/2), Click And Collect (5/1), Bestiarius (15/2), Coeur Aimant (8/1), Get Phar (10/1), Baraboy (16/1), Dan Gun (40/1), Stowaway John (50/1), Sugar Butties (50/1), Trac (66/1)

LORD CAPRIO is back in good order, value for extra when successful over C&D and then not seen to best effect at Sedgefield a month ago. A good-value conditional is back on and he looks the way to go, with Fernhill Dane the obvious danger.
