Star of Rory^t²³¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Lee Edwards| T: J Groucott| OR: 120| D

28/1

Three-time hurdles winner who ran some good races last season without winning. Off 7 months. Makes chase debut but not an obvious type.

Form: 1/0F325-

The Macon Lugnatic²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: Luca Morgan⁽⁵⁾| T: B Pauling| OR: 119| D

12/1

Posted career best when winning 8-runner handicap hurdle at Ffos Las in May. Not in quite the same form 10 days later and struggled on chase bow at Worcester on return.

Form: 4P-316P

Keep Rolling^t²³¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-11| J: Ben Jones| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 119| BF| D

13/2

Free-going sort. Bumper/hurdles winner. Made a promising start over fences when runner-up at Chepstow in February but let down by jumping at Haydock following month.

Form: 3/17424-

Chazza^t¹⁸⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: C Gethings| T: K Bailey & M Nicholls| OR: 119| CWS

10/1

Point winner who landed 2m Bangor maiden hurdle but has run poorly last 3 starts so something to prove now chasing on return.

Form: F120P-P

Ashfield Paddy¹⁸⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: R P McLernon| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 119| BF

12/1

Didn't take to chasing last autumn but career back on track returned to hurdles this year, though shaped as if amiss when last seen in May. Bit to prove back over fences now.

Form: 56332-P

Zolfo^p¹⁸²

Age: 9| Weight: 11-9| J: Sean Quinlan| T: J Candlish| OR: 117| CD

28/1

Had a very productive 2019/20, winning 5 times over fences. Last season never really got going but does have a reduced mark to work with for the new campaign.

Form: 1/P74P-0

Crypto²⁴⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: Miss V Williams| OR: 116

3/1

£200,000 purchase after dotting up in bumper for Micky Hammond in 2019. Disappointed over hurdles but off the mark at second attempt over fences at Carlisle in March. Remains low mileage.

Form: 54/4431-

Do It For Thy Sen^p¹⁶⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: J E Moore| T: Kerry Lee| OR: 113| D

10/1

Winning pointer who opened account at seventh time of asking over fences at Southwell in May and proved that was no fluke when following up with even better performance there 2 weeks later. Respected.

Form: 474U-11

Happy News^t²⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-2| J: Jordan Nailor⁽³⁾| T: J Groucott| OR: 110| D

12/1

Won twice over fences last term and again made a winning return at Ludlow 3 weeks ago, better than ever. Player up 5 lb.

Form: 14417-1

Yggdrasil³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: David Noonan| T: Nick Williams| OR: 114

11/4

Half-brother to smart chaser Siruh du Lac. Highly tried on 2 of 3 starts last term and ran well when second at Newton Abbot on return. Type to make a better chaser and step up in trip will suit.

Form: 356-2

Forecasts

Yggdrasil (11/4), Crypto (3/1), Keep Rolling (13/2), Do It For Thy Sen (10/1), Chazza (10/1), Ashfield Paddy (12/1), The Macon Lugnatic (12/1), Happy News (12/1), Star of Rory (28/1), Zolfo (28/1), Tiquer (33/1)

It could be worth chancing YGGDRASIL, who has the profile to make a better chaser and the step up in trip will suit. Do It For Thy Sen was thriving when last seen in May and must be respected, with the lightly-raced Crypto another to consider.
