Very useful handicapper who has done most of his racing for this yard at Carlisle. In front when making a hash of last there last month so the handicapper might have been generous dropping him 2 lb.

Back from the Flat with good efforts at Wetherby and Musselburgh (second to reopposing Wakool) in recent months. Ought to be competitive again.

Opened his account in maiden hurdle at Perth in May. Better form in defeat since returning to action, finishing in front of reopposing Captain Zebo when second at Carlisle (25f) 3 weeks ago. Go well.

Novice hurdle winner who has shown useful form over fences since without winning. Has his first outing for 8 months/since leaving Mick Channon. Betting should guide.

Much improved when racking up a quick hat-trick in handicap hurdles for this yard in the spring. Probably needed run when well held on Aintree return and may fare better this time.

Won a Carlisle handicap last winter but absent since a jumpers' bumper run at Newcastle in February. Perhaps best watched.

Made it 3-4 this season when comfortably seeing off the reopposing One Night in Milan at Musselburgh last month. 10 lb rise demands more but still much respected in his current mood.

Lightly raced in recent years and she was never involved on her Carlisle reappearance at the end of October. Steps up to 3m for the first time now.

Came good in a mares' novice chase at Kelso in March and repeated the trick when switched back to hurdles there last month. Should have a part to play on first handicap start in this sphere.

Forecasts

Wakool (3/1), Wowsham (10/3), Storm Nelson (5/1), Captain Zebo (11/2), Flower Of Scotland (15/2), One Night In Milan (10/1), Eternally Yours (18/1), Hold The Note (20/1), No Hiding Place (28/1)

Verdict

WOWSHAM ran a cracker when stepped up to 3m+ for the first time at Carlisle last month and is fancied to build on that and notch a second success. Captain Zebo wasn't too far behind him at the Cumbrian venue and is feared most ahead of the thriving Wakool.

  1. WOWSHAM (IRE)
  2. CAPTAIN ZEBO (IRE)
  3. WAKOOL (FR)
