Vengeur De Guye^p,t¹⁶

Age: 12| Weight: 11-13| J: D R Fox| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 106| D

7/2

Veteran who has been holding his form this term and mark has eased again, so not dismissed down in class.

Form: 34-3234

Llantara^t²⁴⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 11-12| J: Benjamin Poste| T: A Ralph| OR: 105| CD

17/2

Hurdles winner who ran well for present stable in that sphere when runner-up at Wetherby (2m) in February. Well held final start but she may have a little more to offer back over fences.

Form: 6/32320-

Ettila De Sivola^p³²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: B S Hughes| T: J Ewart| OR: 104| DWS

10/3

Improved on third start over fences when winning at Newcastle 2 years ago. Disappointed after, though took a step back in the right direction off reduced mark when second at Kelso on return.

Form: 3/8P87-2

Halcyon Days^v⁴⁶

Age: 12| Weight: 11-10| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: R Menzies| OR: 103| CD

16/1

Eased in weights and perked up by re-fitted visor when ending losing run at Carlisle (2m) in March, showing willing attitude. However, went with little promise at Kelso on return. Visor back on.

Form: 44751-P

Treshnish^p¹¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-10| J: Ryan Mania| T: J Parkinson & S Smith| OR: 103| CD

7/1

Won twice over C&D in the spring but didn't go with any short-term promise last 3 starts.

Form: 1-F1P9P

Roxyfet³⁴

Age: 11| Weight: 11-1| J: Emma Smith-Chaston⁽⁷⁾| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 94| CD

22/1

Won 4 times in 2019/20 but no promise in 3 starts since.

Form: 112/P-P8

Budarri^p³²

Age: 8| Weight: 10-13| J: Henry Brooke| T: W Coltherd| OR: 92| D

6/1

Well served by positive tactics when twice over fences during early 2019. Shaped as if retaining plenty of ability after 31 months off and would have built on that but for a last-fence fall at Kelso.

Form: 1123/6F

Southeast Rose²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-7| J: Sean Quinlan| T: M Todhunter| OR: 86| CD

9/2

Confirmed the encouragement of her chase debut when landing a C&D novice handicap over a year ago. Not in same form following month and shaped as if needing run here on return. Remains unexposed.

Form: 4/3614-6

Onenightintown¹⁵⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: Alain Cawley| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 75

33/1

Unreliable sort who took little interest at Market Rasen when last seen in July. 4 lb out of the weights.

Form: 58-833P

Forecasts

Ettila De Sivola (10/3), Vengeur De Guye (7/2), Southeast Rose (9/2), Budarri (6/1), Treshnish (7/1), Llantara (17/2), Halcyon Days (16/1), Roxyfet (22/1), Onenightintown (33/1)

ETTILA DE SIVOLA took a big step back in the right direction off his reduced mark when splitting a pair of subsequent winners at Kelso on his return so gets the vote. Southeast Rose has been below par on both her starts since winning over C&D last November but she shaped as if needing her reappearance and has now dipped below that winning mark. Vengeur de Guye is another to consider down in class.
