Milvale²³³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Ryan Mania| T: A M Thomson| OR: 115

8/1

Back down to the mark off which he gained his sole career success to date at Kelso in February 2020, but more miss than hit since and others make greater appeal.

Glittering Love¹⁹¹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: B S Hughes| T: N G Richards| OR: 115

16/1

Winner of all 4 starts over fences as a novice during 2018/19 campaign. Hasn't added to his tally since and while he was placed on several occasions last term, this 9-y-o looks vulnerable on balance.

Stylish Moment^t¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: P W Wadge⁽¹⁰⁾| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 110

11/1

Fair hurdler/chaser in Ireland for Eoin Doyle. Over 2 years since latest success, but positive start for this yard when chasing The Ogle Gogle Man home at Kelso (25.8f) recently and he merits respect.

Niceandeasy^p⁷⁰⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-6| J: C O'Farrell| T: N W Alexander| OR: 109

18/1

Hard to know what to expect following an absence of almost 2 years, but he returns to action on a potentially handy mark and it will be interesting to see what the market has to say.

Loughermore²⁵²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: William Shanahan⁽⁷⁾| T: S Waugh| OR: 109

16/1

Off the mark in 19.7f Wetherby handicap hurdle on Boxing Day last year and ended that campaign with a respectable effort over 24.3f at Ayr. Still, this assignment demands a clear career-best.

Tomorrow's Angel²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Thomas Willmott⁽⁵⁾| T: T Davidson| OR: 107

7/1

Confirmed more positive signs when landing mares' handicap at Kelso (22.7f) in March. Successful twice on the Flat since, too, but below par last time and she may be a shade too high in the weights.

Form: 42210-2

Fevertre²²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: James Bowen| T: Nicky Martin| OR: 106

3/1

Runner up sole start in points, but yet to make a serious impact under Rules and while there have been some signs of encouragement, it's easy enough to look elsewhere on this occasion.

Dr Des^b¹³

Age: 10| Weight: 11-3| J: S Bowen| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 106

7/1

Winless since 2019 and while the handicapper has given him a chance, he hasn't shown enough in 3 starts for new yard this year to suggest that a revival is imminent.

Form: 54-P555

Headscarf Lil¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-10| J: Sean Quinlan| T: N G Richards| OR: 99| C

4/1

Back on the scoresheet when getting on top close home over 2½m here last month. Not an obvious type to follow up, but 3 lb rise is hardly harsh and she's well worth another crack at this trip.

Form: 8-23651

Stolen Money²⁵⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-10| J: Craig Nichol| T: D W Whillans| OR: 99

10/1

Step firmly in the right direction when finding just one too good on handicap bow over 25f here when last seen in February. Resumes on the same mark and this low-mileage 6-y-o may have more to offer.

Form: 7/P242-

Pistol^p¹⁸

Age: 12| Weight: 10-0| J: Mr John Dixon⁽⁷⁾| T: J E Dixon| OR: 74| C

100/1

It's been more than 3 years since he last hit the target and recent effort when returning from a break was hardly encouraging. 15 lb 'wrong' at the weights.

Forecasts

Fevertre (3/1), Headscarf Lil (4/1), The Ogle Gogle Man (4/1), Tomorrow's Angel (7/1), Dr Des (7/1), Milvale (8/1), Stolen Money (10/1), Stylish Moment (11/1), Glittering Love (16/1), Loughermore (16/1), Niceandeasy (18/1), Lissen To The Lady (25/1), Pistol (100/1)

NICEANDEASY's well-being has to be taken on trust following a lengthy lay-off, but it's a risk worth taking given that he resumes on an attractive mark and represents an in-form yard. Stolen Money has few miles on the clock and is feared most ahead of Headscarf Lil, who scored here last time and looks the pick of the Nicky Richards-trained duo. Stylish Moment also enters calculations.
