Young Wolf³⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: K Brogan⁽³⁾| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 123| D

11/1

Multiple hurdles/chase winner who stopped the slide to an extent when third at Uttoxeter but quickly back in the doldrums at Wincanton last month.

Form: P7-PP35

From The Heart^p¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: Sean Houlihan⁽³⁾| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 120| CD

12/1

Failed to fire on return at Chepstow, but left that effort well behind when bolting up in first-time cheekpieces over C&D last month. Not on a going day at Ludlow since, however.

Form: 439-916

Silver In Disguise^t²⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: Alan Johns| T: Tim Vaughan| OR: 120| D

14/1

Made it 2 from 2 over fences with another improved effort at Chepstow. Went with little promise back hurdling there on return but better expected back in this sphere.

Form: 53911-8

I See You Well²²⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-9| J: J E Moore| T: J W Mullins| OR: 120

40/1

Ended long losing run from reduced mark at Plumpton in January and ended the campaign with a narrow win there. Probably high enough in the weights now on return.

Form: 6/61241-

White Moon^t²⁵¹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-7| J: Brendan Powell| T: C L Tizzard| OR: 118| C| D

10/3

Has an unconvincing profile overall, though has gone well fresh in past and could be worth chancing off a much-reduced mark with yard in good heart at present.

Form: P07/875-

Tea Time On Mars^p¹⁸³

Age: 9| Weight: 11-5| J: Lucy Gardner| T: Mrs S Gardner| OR: 116| C| D

9/1

Dual chase winner who posted a career best when second in Devon National (30.7f) at Exeter in February. Creditable third in this headgear at Stratford in May though again didn't convince with jumping.

Form: 61425-3

St Erney¹⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 11-4| J: Harry Kimber⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss J Du Plessis| OR: 115| CD

2/1

Low mileage for his age and took advantage of another drop in the weights over C&D on return 19 days ago under this rider. 5 lb rise seems fair so player with a repeat.

Form: P/0P3P-1

Connard^t²⁴⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-2| J: Charlie Price⁽³⁾| T: Tim Vaughan| OR: 113

12/1

Returned to form when second in 3m novice hurdle at Ludlow and probably would have won had he jumped the last better back over fences on handicap bow at Kelso. 2 lb lower here on return.

Form: 66P/622-

Off The Planet²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: T J O'Brien| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 113

20/1

Lightly-raced maiden who returned after 6 months off/wind op with good third in novice hurdle at Warwick but ran no sort of race sent handicapping at Chepstow. Bit to prove now chasing.

Form: 5/7P4-39

Favori De Sivola^p,t²⁵⁵

10/1

Improved for switch to fences last season, winning handicaps at Taunton and Wincanton at up to 25f. Underperformed back at latter venue on final outing and has since had wind surgery. Off 8 months.

Form: 8/511U4-

Troed Y Melin⁴⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 10-2| J: C Gethings| T: C Honour| OR: 99| CD

22/1

Bagged second course win in 5-runner handicap (24.2f, good) in April. Not the most consistent, though, and posted below-par effort here on return.

Form: 185P1-4

Forecasts

St Erney (2/1), White Moon (10/3), Tea Time On Mars (9/1), Favori De Sivola (10/1), Young Wolf (11/1), From The Heart (12/1), Connard (12/1), Silver In Disguise (14/1), Off The Planet (20/1), Troed Y Melin (22/1), I See You Well (40/1)

It could be worth chancing WHITE MOON, who can go well fresh and starts the campaign off a much-reduced mark for his in-form yard. Connard probably would have made a winning handicap bow at Kelso but for a late mistake and is respected on return, while St Erney made a winning return over this C&D under this rider 3 weeks ago.
