The Resdev Way³²

Age: 9| Weight: 11-2| J: Miss Becky Smith| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 57| C| D

2/1

Course winner. 11/1, creditable sixth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Newcastle (20.3f, good to soft) 32 days ago. Consistent on the Flat and gets on well with this rider, so boasts strong claims.

Form: 35-5126

Merweb⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Mrs Jo Supple⁽³⁾| T: Henry Oliver| OR: 55| D

10/3

28/1, first run since leaving Ronald Harris when creditable fourth of 15 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f) 9 days ago, left poorly placed. Nicely handicapped if he can build on that back up in trip.

Form: 700-774

Donya²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Mr Josh Agar⁽⁷⁾| T: Ian Williams| OR: 54| D

4/1

Bit below form seventh of 12 in handicap (12/1) at Southwell (8.1f) 25 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Should be suited by a return to this distance, and a strong pace would suit.

Form: 4-31297

Percy Prosecco^b⁶⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 10-11| J: Miss Brodie Hampson| T: A Watson| OR: 52| C| D

9/2

Untrustworthy individual. Below form eighth of 17 in handicap hurdle (22/1) at Taunton (19f, good to soft) 60 days ago. Tricky sort who is a long time without a win on the Flat.

Form: 24044-7

Grandscape¹⁶⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-9| J: Miss Sophie Smith| T: A Stronge| OR: 50| CD

10/1

C&D winner. 40/1, seventh of 9 in handicap at Newbury (12f, heavy), slowly away. Off 168 days. Won this last year, but returns with something to prove.

Go On Gal³⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 10-6| J: Mr Jack Wilmot⁽⁷⁾| T: Mrs S J Humphrey| OR: 47| D

33/1

40/1, last of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (12f, AW) 35 days ago. Doesn't make much appeal.

Form: 55145-8

(5)

Glencoe Boy^v1²³⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-5| J: Lily Jones⁽⁷⁾| T: D Flood| OR: 45

50/1

Remains a maiden after 21 Flat runs. Good fourth of 10 in handicap (50/1) at Lingfield (12f, AW), having run of race. Off 7 months. Visor on 1st time. More required.

Form: 845884-

Alioski²⁰²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-5| J: Isabelle Ryder⁽⁷⁾| T: G Brown| OR: 45

25/1

Tongue strap on for 1st time, excellent second of 8 in novice hurdle (33/1) at Plumpton (17.8f, good), clear of rest. Off 6 months since and his Flat record is rather uninspiring.

Forecasts

The Resdev Way (2/1), Merweb (10/3), Donya (4/1), Percy Prosecco (9/2), Settle Petal (7/1), Grandscape (10/1), Alioski (25/1), Go On Gal (33/1), Glencoe Boy (50/1)

THE RESDEV WAY was in good order on the Flat prior to a respectable effort over hurdles at Newcastle, and he was successful when last teaming up with Becky Smith, so he strikes as the most solid option in a trappy event. Merweb and Donya could both make their presence felt if the race is set up for the closers.
