Faire Part Sivola²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 12-2| J: D A Jacob| T: H Whittington| OR: 127| C

6/4

Back to best when making a winning return for new yard after wind surgery over 2½m here last month. Extra yardage now should be in his favour and he looks nicely handicapped after a 6 lb rise.

Form: P/4F30-1

Winged Isle³²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Ben Jones| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 123| C

9/2

Really got his act together in the spring, winning here and at Ludlow. Ran as if needing the race back from a break at Market Rasen last month and better can be expected now.

Lossiemouth^b1¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Thomas Doggrell⁽⁷⁾| T: T Lacey| OR: 123

11/2

Dual bumper winner who showed improved form over hurdles when taking a 19f Ascot handicap 18 days ago. First-time cheekpieces worn on that occasion are now replaced by blinkers. This trip should suit.

Form: 1522/0-1

Johanos⁶⁹²

Age: 10| Weight: 11-6| J: Kieren Buckley⁽⁵⁾| T: N J Hawke| OR: 117

40/1

Dual hurdles winner back in 2017. Drawn a blank in 5 subsequent starts over fences and he's been off for 23 months ahead of this return to hurdles. Best watched unless betting vibes strong.

To Be Sure¹⁰^{(ex 7)}

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams| OR: 102| C

11/4

Landed 25f handicap chase at Hereford in March and struck back over hurdles in 3m event here 10 days ago. Had a bit in hand so ought to be competitive under his 7 lb penalty.

Form: 6F1-7F1

Bilboa River^p¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-5| J: W T Kennedy| T: R J Price| OR: 102

100/1

Maiden pointer who was fourth in a maiden hurdle in Ireland in the winter but has finished well held twice since, including on recent first start for this yard. Handicap debut.

Form: 3-47406

Mr Katanga²²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-2| J: S Bowen| T: Miss R Curtis| OR: 99

10/1

Runner-up in 3m Taunton handicap for Olly Murphy in March. That's comfortably his best run so far but he may have needed the run on last month's return for a new stable and could fare better now.

A 6 lb rise for FAIRE PART SIVOLA's course success just under 3 weeks ago doesn't look too severe so he's narrowly preferred to recent 19f Ascot scorer Lossiemouth, who promises to be suited by the extra yardage here. To Be Sure is another who arrives on the back of a last-time-out win, in his case over 3m here just 10 days ago, and should also have a part to play.
