Global Agreement¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 11-12| J: Kevin Jones| T: M F Harris| OR: 98

6/1

Unreliable sort on the whole but like many from his yard, he returned at the very top of his game when landing 5-runner handicap at Lingfield 18 days ago. Up just 2 lb for that.

Form: 20-4391

The Wire Flyer^b²³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Conor Ring| T: J L Flint| OR: 92

14/1

Off the mark in 2m Ffos Las conditionals' handicap hurdle in February. Posted a couple of respectable efforts in the spring but was never dangerous on reappearance this month.

Form: 13B2-58

Legal Rights¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: N F Houlihan⁽³⁾| T: G & J Moore| OR: 90

6/5

Fair 12f Flat winner. Yet to match that form over hurdles, but much more like it over hurdles when runner-up to a stablemate on handicap debut here 19 days ago. Has to be of interest.

Form: 64-32

One Last Glance¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: Jordan Nailor| T: T R Gretton| OR: 88

13/2

Mere glimmers of ability in maiden/novice company and matched that form when third switched to a handicap at Taunton recently. Now needs to build on that upped in trip.

Form: 88-63

Jembug Drummer^p¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: Tabitha Worsley| T: N J Gifford| OR: 84

14/1

Fairly useful hurdles winner in 2019. Hasn't come close to matching that since, including both starts fitted with cheekpieces for this yard (heavily backed at Lingfield).

Form: P66P-68

Fiamette¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 10-9| J: Miss H C Tucker⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss J S Davis| OR: 99

9/2

Little impact in 3 Flat outings for Anthony Carson but more like it in juvenile hurdles, finishing fourth on her last 2 starts. Way she finished her race off over 17.7f suggests this trip will suit.

Form: 644

Hier Encore^p1,t¹⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 10-3| J: Mr Ben Ffrench Davis⁽⁵⁾| T: N Dunger| OR: 75| CD

25/1

Course winner but it's now 15 runs since his last win in 2019 and no impact both outings this term. Headgear back on.

Form: 7P66-09

King Of The Story⁴⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: Ellis Collier⁽⁷⁾| T: Mrs K Stephens| OR: 74

20/1

Last of 4 finishers sole start in Irish points and no impact in his qualifying runs.

Form: 40-00

Baby Sham¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 10-0| J: Joe Anderson⁽⁵⁾| T: J W Mullins| OR: 86

20/1

Modest 1m winner on the level but only poor form in juvenile hurdles. 4 lb out of the weights.

Form: 7P5355

Legal Rights (6/5), Clongowes (4/1), Fiamette (9/2), Global Agreement (6/1), One Last Glance (13/2), The Wire Flyer (14/1), Jembug Drummer (14/1), Lake Shore Drive (14/1), Baby Sham (20/1), King Of The Story (20/1), Hier Encore (25/1), Time Is Time (50/1)

LEGAL RIGHTS showed much more than previously over hurdles when runner-up to a stablemate here 19 days ago and, given his Flat form, there ought to be more to come. Global Agreement won last time and represents a yard in terrific order so he is feared, with 3-y-o Fiamette also of interest in receipt of an age allowance.
