Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: M G Nolan| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 100

Loch Garman Aris^p¹⁵

Age: 12| Weight: 11-8| J: T Scudamore| T: G Hanmer| OR: 96

15/2

Came good with pair of 3m chase wins in the mud at Bangor last May. Might have needed comeback run and failed to complete in unfortunate circumstances back over hurdles 2 weeks ago. Yard in good form.

Form: 62-11PU

Calicojack⁷¹

Age: 10| Weight: 11-6| J: Mr Mark Robinson⁽⁷⁾| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 94

66/1

Lost his way in Ireland for Noel Meade and has failed to complete all 3 starts for this yard this term.

Form: 600-FPP

Daenerys Stormborn^t¹⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 11-6| J: Ben Godfrey⁽³⁾| T: Henry Oliver| OR: 94

14/1

Point winner but largely disappointing over hurdles/fences in Ireland for L. Byrne. Better effort for this yard when third at Market Rasen and back up in trip now.

Form: 657503

Jurys Out^p1²⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 11-2| J: Miss Lucy Turner⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss V Williams| OR: 90

10/1

Hurdles winner at Carlisle in 2019. Placed 3 times over fences since but his 3 efforts this season haven't been up to much. Bounce back needed in first-time headgear.

Form: 62P-P9P

Ivilnoble^b³⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 11-2| J: Mr Ben Ffrench Davis⁽⁷⁾| T: D J S Ffrench Davis| OR: 90

7/1

Just the one win from 17 starts in this sphere but arrives here on the back of a string of decent efforts, including when just edged out at Ludlow latest. Player.

Form: 244222

Eaton Miller^p¹⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 10-13| J: Caoilin Quinn⁽⁷⁾| T: R Potter| OR: 87| BF| D

7/1

Modest hurdler/chaser who scored twice last season. Good second after 10 months off in handicap chase at Taunton (26.3f, soft) but folded quickly at Uttoxeter 2 weeks ago.

Form: 311F-2P

Mr Katanga^p1²⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 10-13| J: Ben Jones| T: Miss R Curtis| OR: 87

10/1

Has yet to get seriously competitive for this yard, including both starts over fences. Needs more now tried in headgear.

Form: 6-65735

Cadeau Du Bresil¹⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 10-10| J: Bryan Carver⁽³⁾| T: J G Cann| OR: 84| D

12/1

Doesn't appear to retain much ability or enthusiasm.

Form: 218/P8P

Bignorm^p¹⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 10-5| J: Benjamin Poste| T: Mrs R Gasson| OR: 79

11/2

Won at Leicester last season but hasn't matched that form in 3 starts this year, remote third at Uttoxeter latest.

Form: 213-423

Doran's Bridge^p,t³¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-1| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽³⁾| T: Katy Price| OR: 75

17/2

Little impact over hurdles but showed more than on chase bow in first-time cheekpieces/tongue strap when third at Lingfield. Failed to repeat that at Wincanton since.

Form: P07P35

Forecasts

Storm Force Ben (4/1), Bignorm (11/2), Eaton Miller (7/1), Ivilnoble (7/1), Loch Garman Aris (15/2), Doran's Bridge (17/2), Mr Katanga (10/1), Jurys Out (10/1), Cadeau Du Bresil (12/1), Daenerys Stormborn (14/1), Calicojack (66/1)

LOCH GARMAN ARIS had excuses when failing to complete on his last 2 starts and looked as good as ever with back-to-back wins at Bangor in May, so this lightly-raced veteran is worth another chance with his yard in good form. Ivilnoble was only just edged out at Ludlow last month and is next best ahead of Storm Force Ben.
