All Shook Up^p1²²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 101

11/4

Limited over hurdles but much more like it sent chasing when second on handicap bow at Hereford. Hung/jumped right at Southwell since and return to right-handed track will suit. Headgear on.

Form: 06-B52R

Obey The Rules²²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: B S Hughes| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 96| D

6/4

Low-mileage sort who has improved of late, quickly resuming winning ways at Sedgefield 3 weeks ago. No reason why he won't be firmly in the mix again up 7 lb.

Form: 8-55121

Ben Buie^v²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: M Keighley| OR: 91| D

5/2

Finally got off the mark for a stable going well at Hereford 3 weeks ago, responding well to a change of headgear. Player if able to back that up.

Form: UPP-901

Long-standing maiden who ran no sort of race when last seen in May. Significantly back down in trip.

Obey The Rules (6/4), Ben Buie (5/2), All Shook Up (11/4), Leskinfere (14/1), Furia D'Oudairies (16/1), O Ceallaigh (18/1), Dun Bay Creek (100/1)

ALL SHOOK UP hung/jumped right throughout at Southwell 3 weeks ago and is worth another chance to build on the promise of his chase-debut second at Hereford returned to a right-handed track. Obey The Rules is clearly on the upgrade having won 2 of his last 3 starts so rates the main threat ahead of fellow last-time-out winner Ben Buie.
