Derrick D'Anjou^t¹⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 11-3| J: Aaron Anderson⁽⁵⁾| T: J Bedi| OR: 89

33/1

It's now twelve runs since his last win in 2020. Pulled up in handicap hurdle at Bangor (23f) 23 days ago, so has something to prove now in refitted visor.

Age: 9| Weight: 10-12| J: C O'Farrell| T: R Dobbin| OR: 84| D

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: Henry Brooke| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 85

Border Victor^p²³³

Age: 9| Weight: 10-10| J: Danny McMenamin| T: F P Murtagh| OR: 82| D

28/1

Reluctant individual who is now thirteen runs since his last win in 2019. Only eleventh of 12 in handicap over C&D 7 months ago, so others look more persuasive here.

Form: P3P240-

Stitch Up²⁴⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-7| J: Thomas Dowson| T: P A Kirby| OR: 79

22/1

Lightly-raced maiden hurdler who offered little in handicaps at Hereford and Wetherby in the spring. Lots more required on his comeback run.

Age: 8| Weight: 10-1| J: Alison Clarke⁽⁷⁾| T: Kenny Johnson| OR: 73

20/1

Form: 448347

Our Idic Boy²²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: C J Todd⁽³⁾| T: Ian Williams| OR: 68

5/2

Ran his best race over hurdles when fourth in 3m handicap at Taunton 22 days ago despite mistakes final 2 flights. Still low mileage, and he holds good claims despite being 4 lb out of the handicap.

Form: 0PP/84-4

Forecasts

Abington Park (9/4), Our Idic Boy (5/2), Permission Granted (7/1), Bullion Boss (10/1), Fraterculus (11/1), Derrick D'Anjou (18/1), On We Go (20/1), Stitch Up (22/1), Lissen To The Lady (25/1), Adelphi Prince (25/1), Border Victor (28/1), Mamoo (33/1)

ABINGTON PARK comes here at the top of his game so is fancied to add to his Hexham victory at the chief expense of Our Idic Boy who is weighted to have a say on the back of his excellent Taunton fourth despite being 4 lb out of the handicap. Recent Ayr scorer Permission Granted can also have a say in an open contest.
