80/1

125/1, ninth of 13 in handicap at Kempton (16f) 20 days ago. Hopes very much pinned on first-time cheekpieces sparking a revival.

Smith^v¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: R Havlin| T: Mrs L Richards| OR: 55| CD

3/1

9/4, career best when winning 12-runner handicap at this C&D (AW) 17 days ago by 1½ lengths from Hannalite, driven out. Nudged up just 2 lb and he has to enter calculations.

Form: 253321

Some Detail^p²²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: Tom Buckley⁽⁵⁾| T: N J Hawke| OR: 55| D

12/1

Thrice-raced maiden on Flat. Fairly useful hurdles winner. Ninth of 10 in maiden at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 125/1) 22 days ago. Big step forward needed on handicap debut in this sphere.

Form: 069

Severus Alexander^b,e/s,t⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: J Mitchell| T: C Hobson| OR: 55

16/1

33/1, last of 6 in handicap hurdle at Southwell (24.3f, good) 7 days ago. Modest on the Flat, albeit latest effort in this sphere was solid enough. Each-way chance.

Form: 368773

Letter At Dawn¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: William Carson| T: M J Attwater| OR: 54

20/1

Sixth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (15.8f, good to soft, 12/1) 17 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Creditable effort on latest Flat outing and he's not taken lightly.

Form: 865304

Leroy Brown⁷⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: Callum Shepherd| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 48| D

7/1

Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. Creditable seventh of 12 in handicap (66/1) at Wolverhampton (16.6f) 77 days ago, needing stiffer test. Needs to raise his game now switched to polytrack.

Form: 7597

(11)

Affair⁷⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 8-12| J: Tom Marquand| T: H Morrison| OR: 45

25/1

Twelve runs since last win in 2020. Eighth of 11 in handicap at Chelmsford City (14f, 7/1) 79 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Others more persuasive on balance.

Form: 637648

(12)

Hannalite¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A Stronge| OR: 45

6/1

Good 1½ lengths second of 12 to Smith in handicap (6/1) at this C&D (AW) 17 days ago. 1 lb better off with that rival now and should be in the thick of things once more.

Form: 985732

Miss Pollyanna^h¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: Rhiain Ingram⁽³⁾| T: R Ingram| OR: 45

66/1

Remains a maiden after 24 Flat runs. Respectable 8 lengths sixth of 12 to Smith in handicap at this C&D (AW, 25/1) 17 days ago. Likely to find a few too good once more.

Form: 740346

Tilsworth Sammy^v³⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 8-12| J: Marco Ghiani| T: J R Jenkins| OR: 45

125/1

Remains a maiden after 16 Flat runs. 50/1, eighth of 9 in handicap at Chelmsford City (14f) 38 days ago. Readily passed over.

Owen Little³²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: George Rooke⁽³⁾| T: M Crawley| OR: 50| D

11/8

Lightly-raced winner. 7/2, career best when winning 14-runner handicap at Kempton (16f) 32 days ago by head from Smith. 3 lb rise fair enough and he's shortlist material.

Form: 00421

Blue Galaxy^p¹⁵⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-5| J: Laura Coughlan⁽⁵⁾| T: M D I Usher| OR: 45

150/1

Forecasts

Owen Little (11/8), Smith (3/1), Global Wonder (4/1), Hannalite (6/1), Leroy Brown (7/1), Some Detail (12/1), Celtic Classic (12/1), Severus Alexander (16/1), Letter At Dawn (20/1), Affair (25/1), Miss Pollyanna (66/1), Cuillin (80/1), Tilsworth Sammy (125/1), Blue Galaxy (150/1)

OWEN LITTLE, Smith and Hannalite are closely matched at the weights judged on recent form. Preference is for the first-named, who is the least exposed of the trio and is actually 1 lb better off with Smith compared to when nailing that rival close home at Kempton last month. Smith subsequently got the better of Hannalite over this C&D and is taken to confirm those placings.
