Shiroccan Roll^v1²⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Joe Anderson⁽¹⁰⁾| T: Miss E C Lavelle| OR: 112| D

4/1

Winning hurdler but record over fences to date has been mixed, losing place when the race took shape at Wincanton last month. Visor replaces cheekpieces.

Form: 43-6354

Above Suspicion^h¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: C Gethings| T: T R George| OR: 110

13/2

Fair form over hurdles without winning. Prominent in the betting but didn't jump well enough to make an impact on recent chase debut.

Form: 4/330-34

Lucky Robin⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 11-3| J: Sam Coltherd| T: B Ellison| OR: 103| CD

10/3

Revived all of a sudden when landing a handicap hurdle from 4 lb higher at Sedgefield in September. Second of 4 over fences next time before struggling from revised hurdles mark.

Form: P91266

Atlantic Storm^t²¹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-2| J: Charlie Hammond| T: B R Summers| OR: 102| D

11/2

Mostly creditable runs since scoring at Stratford in May and this trip more suitable than 20.9f distance he ran over 3 weeks ago. Weighted to go close.

Form: 432457

Heronord⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams| OR: 108

13/8

Fairly consistent without getting his head in front in Ireland for Paul Nolan. Looked the likely winner when unseating rider 3 out on chase/stable debut last week and turns out from same mark.

Form: 65256U

Forecasts

Heronord (13/8), Lucky Robin (10/3), Shiroccan Roll (4/1), Go As You Please (5/1), Atlantic Storm (11/2), Above Suspicion (13/2)

HERONORD looked set to make a winning chase/stable debut until unseating his rider at Taunton last week and assuming he's none the worse for that, compensation looks forthcoming. Atlantic Storm will find this trip more suitable than last time and could go well at long odds.
