Sambezi^p,t²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: G Sheehan| T: O Signy| OR: 105| D

7/2

Got back on track after a wind op (tongue strap also on) when third of 8 in handicap hurdle at Huntingdon (15.8f) 20 days ago. Needs to back it up now.

Sami Bear²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: Tom Cannon| T: C Gordon| OR: 99| C

5/2

Got off the mark with career-best effort in 18f handicap hurdle here 20 days ago. Up 6 lb but he still merits consideration.

Form: 5U3531-

Kolisi^t²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-5| J: T Scudamore| T: D Pipe| OR: 102| D

15/8

Fairly useful on Flat and he's on the up in this sphere, readily completing his hat-trick at Exeter 24 days ago. Hit with another 7 lb rise but he's still weighted to go in again back in trip.

Form: P77111-

Wells Glory^v1²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: J & S Best| OR: 95| C

11/2

Fairly useful bumper winner who was placed on his first two starts over hurdles. Had breathing surgery before a heavy defeat on handicap debut behind Sami Bear here 20 days ago (not knocked about). Visor on 1st time and remains with potential.

Form: 123P-

Systemic^p,t⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: J E Moore| T: G & J Moore| OR: 91

10/1

Still a maiden in this sphere, and cheekpieces on when last of 7 on the level at Goodwood 9 days ago. Others are preferred.

Form: 850F25-

Uae Soldier^b³⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-2| J: Harry Kimber⁽⁵⁾| T: P Butler| OR: 71

80/1

Poor maiden hurdler who came in last of 10 in 1m handicap at Lingfield on Flat 39 days ago. Has lots to find reverted to hurdles from 8 lb out of the weights.

Form: 68/0934-

Devious Dicks Dame^h²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-2| J: James Davies| T: A Irvine| OR: 69| CD

50/1

C&D winner who quickly reverts to hurdles having offered little on her chasing bow when fourth of 5 here (17f) 21 days ago. Easy to look elsewhere.

Form: 525/P44-

Forecasts

Kolisi (15/8), Sami Bear (5/2), Sambezi (7/2), Wells Glory (11/2), Systemic (10/1), Shalott (10/1), Scrutinise (25/1), Devious Dicks Dame (50/1), Uae Soldier (80/1)

KOLISI arrives very much on the up and is fancied to complete a quick four-timer having still had something in the locker when winning at Exeter. Sami Bear rates the chief threat on the back of his breakthrough success here, although it would come as no surprise to see Wells Glory enter the reckoning too.
