Three from five as a novice hurdler last season and now returns to this sphere following an underwhelming start to chasing. Not completely dismissed.

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Joe Williamson⁽⁵⁾| T: P A Kirby| OR: 120

11/1

Better than ever when resuming winning ways over hurdles at Sedgefield (19.8f) in March. Disappointing since, however, including back over fences at Sandown 16 days ago. Bit to prove.

Form: 01P-495

Credo^t³¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Ben Godfrey⁽⁵⁾| T: A J Honeyball| OR: 114| D

8/11

Point winner who looked useful when winning both bumper starts in the spring. Lacked a change of gear when third first two starts over hurdles but upped further in trip for handicap bow.

Form: 11-133

So Socksy^t1²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: Miss Chloe Emsley⁽⁷⁾| T: Ben Clarke| OR: 92

12/1

:Winning pointer at sixth attempt but yet to offer much encouragement under Rules. Tongue tied for her handicap debut.

Form: UP/13-67

Forecasts

Credo (8/11), Coquelicot (11/10), Anythingforlove (7/4), Another Theatre (11/1), So Socksy (12/1)

This may well be fought out by stablemates CREDO and Coquelicot. Both were of similar merit in bumpers and, while the latter got off the mark in this sphere last month, the former has a bit more potential upped in trip with a promising claimer on board, so he gets the marginal vote. Anythingforlove is also a player.
