King Cool^b⁶¹

Age: 10| Weight: 11-5| J: N F Houlihan⁽³⁾| T: G & J Moore| OR: 83| BF| D

14/1

Modest handicap hurdler who showed some ability remains when sixth at Fontwell in May, but has yet to build on that run. Down in trip.

Form: 0P-5665

Searching^p³⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 11-5| J: Conor Ring| T: G Harris| OR: 95| D

10/1

Unreliable type who ran a bit better than the distance beaten might suggest at Exeter last month, but isn't really one to be too encouraging about these days. Back up in trip here.

Form: 5-R6578

The Raven's Return^p¹⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-5| J: Lorcan Williams| T: C & A Pogson| OR: 101

13/2

Fair hurdler who took a step back in the right direction on first outing for this yard when third in a handicap at Market Rasen in August. Below par both starts since, though, so needs to bounce back.

Form: 565396

Delire D'Estruval^b⁴³

Age: 8| Weight: 10-12| J: Fergus Gillard| T: B Pauling| OR: 124| D

9/4

Showed smart form to win a 20.5f Kempton handicap chase in March 2020. Pulled up all 4 starts since though, including back over hurdles at Fontwell last time, and now drops into selling company.

Form: 31/PPP-P

Largy Mouth^t²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Tom Midgley⁽⁶⁾| T: S England| OR: 96

16/5

Patchy form for Brian Ellison and hasn't fared any better both starts for new yard in recent months.

Form: 448-655

Springcombe Joe⁶⁹⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 10-12| J: Harry Kimber⁽³⁾| T: W G M Turner| OR: 66

66/1

Modest form when second on bumper debut, but has shown nothing over hurdles or in points subsequently.

Form: 000386/

Weebill^t1¹⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 10-12| J: Katie O'Farrell| T: O Murphy| OR: 117| D

9/4

Fairly useful 20f hurdle winner at his best. Well held both starts back from 29 months off this season, but should be more competitive now dropped into a seller. Tongue strap on for the 1st time.

Form: 2163/87

Aide Memoire^h,t²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-5| J: Kai Lenihan⁽¹⁰⁾| T: N B King| OR: 74

100/1

Well held all 3 starts on the Flat and has yet to threaten over hurdles, including in a first-time hood and tongue strap last time. Back up in trip.

Form: PP-80P7

Batch Me¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-5| J: William Shanahan⁽⁵⁾| T: H James

300/1

Looks of no account on early evidence.

Form: 0P

Forecasts

Weebill (9/4), Delire D'Estruval (9/4), Largy Mouth (16/5), The Raven's Return (13/2), Searching (10/1), King Cool (14/1), Springcombe Joe (66/1), Aide Memoire (100/1), Batch Me (300/1)

WEEBILL and Delire d'Estruval are both on the downgrade, but the former is from a stable going great guns at present and could come good again now dropped into a seller fitted with a tongue tie. The Raven's Return isn't without hope either if bouncing back from a couple of below-par displays.
