Keep Rolling^t²¹

Age: 9| Weight: 12-2| J: Ben Jones| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 121| C

9/2

Ran up to best when off the mark over fences at Uttoxeter (20f) but well beaten at Haydock since. Probably not straightforward.

Form: 4-62413

Runasimi River^p³⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Thomas Doggrell⁽⁷⁾| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 117| C| D

14/1

Likeable mare with a decent strike rate over hurdles but last 2 efforts have been below par and probably best watched on belated chase debut.

Form: 3-51367

Fabrique En France^p1,t⁷⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: O Murphy| OR: 117WS

6/1

Fairly useful novice hurdler who made an encouraging start over fences when runner-up at Chepstow (2m) on return. Disappointed at Market Rasen next time but still early days. Headgear fitted.

Form: 51P3-25

Pennyforapound^b1²⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: Jack Tudor⁽³⁾| T: Miss R Curtis| OR: 112

9/1

Fair winner at 20f over hurdles and easily best over fences in first-time cheekpieces when third at Taunton. Unable to repeat that at Wincanton since but had excuses at Bangor latest. Blinkered.

Form: 1-5P33P

Star of Rory^t¹¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-2| J: Lee Edwards| T: J Groucott| OR: 107| D

3/1

Multiple hurdles winner who seems to be getting the hang of things over fences, off the mark at Leicester 11 days ago. May do better still based on hurdles form.

Form: 783U21

Do It For Thy Sen^p³⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: Kerry Lee| OR: 105

7/4

Won twice at Southwell in May. Mixed record this winter though latest third at Chepstow was creditable and remains only 1 b above last winning mark.

Form: 115443

Forecasts

Do It For Thy Sen (7/4), Star of Rory (3/1), Ahead Of The Field (7/2), Keep Rolling (9/2), Fabrique En France (6/1), Pennyforapound (9/1), Runasimi River (14/1)

AHEAD OF THE FIELD quickly resumed progress when beaten only by the highly-progressive Nocte Volatus at Doncaster 6 weeks ago and makes plenty of appeal having been eased 1 lb. Star of Rory is getting the hang of things over fences and still has scope for further improvement on hurdles form, so rates the main threat ahead of Do It For Thy Sen.
