Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Isabel Williams⁽³⁾| T: Evan Williams| OR: 96| BF| C

5/2

Course winner in 2019. Hurdle/Flat winner last summer. Better effort back hurdling this spring when third of 13 at Worcester last time. On a decent mark. Player.

Form: 13035-3

Methag¹²⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 11-13| J: Harriet Tucker⁽⁷⁾| T: A M Hales| OR: 95

17/2

Fifteen runs since last win in 2019. Not at her best when last seen in January but well handicapped if a break has had a reviving effect. No surprise to see her go well.

Guidedbythescience¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Miss Becky Smith⁽³⁾| T: G Boanas| OR: 88

4/1

Modest maiden but her in-frame efforts at Sedgefield on her last 2 outings show that she can be competitive from her mark.

Form: 44664-3

Oscar O'scar⁴²

Age: 14| Weight: 11-3| J: Miss E Feakes⁽⁷⁾| T: R Rowe| OR: 85| D

100/1

Formerly a fair handicap chaser but has failed to win in points in recent years ahead of this return to Rules in a hurdle (last ran in one back in 2016). Would need to see market support to consider.

Age: 9| Weight: 10-7| J: Lily Pinchin⁽³⁾| T: M Young| OR: 75

16/1

Cartmel chase winner for Dianne Sayer in July 2019 but hasn't threatened too often since and he didn't shape with any obvious in 2 chases for this new stable at the beginning of the year.

Form: 792F/P4-

Unique Company⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-2| J: Miss Alex Garven⁽⁷⁾| T: M Weatherer| OR: 68

33/1

Remains a maiden, and last of 7 at Uttoxeter on his recent return from a break. Very hard to make a case for.

Hey Bob (13/8), Cloudy Wednesday (2/1), Olympic Honour (5/2), Guidedbythescience (4/1), Methag (17/2), Storm Arcadio (12/1), Rebel Royal (12/1), Jeu De Mots (16/1), Unique Company (33/1), Oscar O'scar (100/1)

OLYMPIC HONOUR is taken to build on a decent run at Worcester last time and land a third hurdle success. Cloudy Wednesday is respected after a good second over C&D last time, while Methag is well treated if bouncing back to form after a 4-month break.
