33/1

Successful twice at up to 2m for Graeme McPherson during 2020. Missed last year and went backwards from belated return when last of 8 at Chelmsford (13.3f) in April but too soon to be writing off. Blinkers replace visor.

Form: 1514/58

16/1

Maiden who largely proved consistent in staying handicaps last season. Best not judged too harshly on last month's hurdle debut effort at Fakenham and no surprise to see a good showing returned to the level. Cheekpieces back on.

First Charge¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: D Tudhope| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 72| D

33/1

Bright start for new yard in the autumn, landing trio of 2m, AW handicaps. Exploits since the turn of the year less inspiring though, never a factor when last of 5 at Doncaster (16.5f) in April and bounce back called for.

Form: 121-865

2/1

C&D winner. 7/4, creditable second of 8 in handicap at Doncaster (16.5f, good to firm) 25 days ago, shaping well to split a couple of more prominently ridden rivals.

Form: 2533-32

Leopolds Rock¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Ryan Sexton⁽⁷⁾| T: P A Kirby| OR: 68

22/1

Lightly-raced winner on Flat. Creditable fifth of 11 in handicap at Thirsk (14f, good to firm, 10/1) 17 days ago. Worth a crack this longer trip on balance.

Form: 3-4815

13/2

Creditable fifth of 13 in handicap at Hamilton (13.1f, good to firm, 33/1) 9 days ago, suited by strong pace. Back up in trip.

Form: 2513-55

80/1

50/1, seventh of 9 in handicap at this course (14f, good) 10 days ago. Visor on 1st time. Something to find on form.

Kitten's Dream^b¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Jonathan Fisher⁽⁵⁾| T: S Dixon| OR: 61| D

20/1

Latest win at Southwell in April. Third of 7 in handicap at Ripon (2m, good, 16/1) 11 days ago, that despite starting very slow start. No forlorn hope provided he starts better.

Kalamity Kitty³³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Rossa Ryan| T: E De Giles| OR: 60

13/8

Cityscape filly who found further progress to complete hat-trick at Bath (14f) 33 days ago, seeing out the trip well. Unexposed at 2m and she's worth considering from a 6 lb higher mark.

Form: 3541-11

Gyenyame^p¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-8| J: Rob Hornby| T: A M Balding| OR: 55| BF

17/2

Good fourth of 9 in handicap at Chelmsford (14f) 19 days ago, running on late having raced off the pace. Interesting to see the cheekpieces go back on now and from a 2 lb lower mark, he's worth a second look.

Kalamity Kitty (13/8), Yagood (2/1), Wynford (13/2), Tralee Hills (8/1), Gyenyame (17/2), Vis A Vis (12/1), Oi The Clubb Oi's (12/1), Doublethetrouble (16/1), Kitten's Dream (20/1), Leopolds Rock (22/1), High Wells (33/1), First Charge (33/1), Sarim (80/1)

KALAMITY KITTY is steadily going the right way in staying handicaps from a low base, completing the hat-trick in tenacious fashion at Bath (14f) 33 days ago. She earns the vote upped to 2m, with Yagood, Tralee Hills and Gyenyame, in refitted cheekpieces, are others fancied to be in the mix.
