Megaudais Speed¹⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 11-11| J: Mitchell Bastyan⁽³⁾| T: Mrs L J Young| OR: 104

15/2

Point winner who improved for the switch to positive tactics when readily making all at Chepstow in April. Shaped as if needing run there on return last month. Better expected now.

Form: 5P/261-0

What A Glance¹⁵⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: David Bass| T: David Dennis| OR: 101

4/1

Consistent rather than progressive for Oliver Sherwood but mark has at least eased again. Off 5 months.

Form: 6556-45

Largy Mouth^t¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Jonathan England| T: S England| OR: 100| BF

7/1

Patchy form for Brian Ellison and made disappointing start for this yard at Stratford 2 weeks ago. Becoming expensive to follow.

Form: 4448-65

Hello Sunshine^t¹⁸¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: C Gethings| T: P R Webber| OR: 99| D

5/2

Shaped well when third in a bumper. Fitted with a tongue strap and easily best effort over hurdles when winning at Uttoxeter on second start in a handicap in May. May do better again.

Form: 39745-1

Finisher^p¹⁷⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: David Noonan| T: Mark Gillard| OR: 95

25/1

Winner at Doncaster (2m) in January but well held 2 of next 3 starts. Off 6 months.

Form: 05184-8

Some Spin^v1¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-6| J: Craig Nichol| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 85

15/2

Irish maiden hurdle winner last year but has struggled over fences this season. Becoming well handicapped but bit to prove back over hurdles all the same. Change of headgear.

Form: P03-078

Templier^t⁴⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 10-2| J: Nick Scholfield| T: Mrs K Stephens| OR: 81

25/1

Won over fences in 2019 but more recent efforts have been disappointing, including on belated return to the Flat in September.

Form: P53P-P3

Ulysses^v³¹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-2| J: James Best| T: D Shaw| OR: 81| CD

11/2

Gained a first win since 2019 in C&D handicap in July but wasn't in the same form at Huntingdon next 2 starts. Hard to predict.

Form: 208150

Forecasts

Hello Sunshine (5/2), What A Glance (4/1), Ulysses (11/2), Largy Mouth (7/1), Megaudais Speed (15/2), Some Spin (15/2), Sir Jack West (12/1), Templier (25/1), Finisher (25/1)

HELLO SUNSHINE responded well to a tongue strap when off the mark in a 12-runner handicap at Uttoxeter in May and she remains unexposed. Megaudais Speed shaped as if needing his return and he was clearly well suited by the change of tactics when making all at Chepstow in April. What A Glance was consistent for Oliver Sherwood and is easing to a competitive mark.
