Age: 9| Weight: 12-8| J: Mr Daniel Cherriman⁽⁷⁾| T: A Hill| OR: 128| CD

Write It Down^p,t²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 12-4| J: Miss Immy Robinson⁽⁵⁾| T: R A Owen| OR: 77

50/1

Unreliable individual. First run since leaving Jonjo O'Neill when good fourth of 5 in hunter chase (14/1) at Perth (23.8f, good to soft) 21 days ago. Needs to back it up now.

Form: 36322-4

Glen Forsa^t⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr D Andrews⁽⁵⁾| T: M Comley| OR: 129

4/1

Fairly useful chaser. First run since leaving Charlie Longsdon when good second of 4 in hunter chase at Southwell (24.3f) 8 days ago. Not taken lightly if able to build on it.

Form: P417P-2

Hawkestone Spirit¹⁷

Age: 11| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr Billy Chatterton⁽⁷⁾| T: Mrs P A Rigby

125/1

Veteran winning pointer. Makes debut in this sphere but others are preferred.

Form: R34/2P-4

Path To Freedom^p,t¹⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr John Dawson| T: Mrs C Coward| OR: 91

14/1

Winning pointer but he remains a maiden in this sphere after 16 runs. 10/1, fourth of 5 in hunter chase at Leicester (22.7f) 104 days ago. More is required.

Form: 4231-12

Purple Harry^t¹⁸

Age: 14| Weight: 12-0| J: Miss J I Bedi⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss T Jackson| OR: 89

33/1

Unreliable type. 12/1, second of 4 in hunter chase at Hexham (24.2f, good to soft) 51 days ago, just failing. Others remain more persuasive.

Form: PP/542-4

Ravished³⁰

Age: 14| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr Thomas Greenwood⁽⁷⁾| T: T Greenwood| OR: 107| D

33/1

11/4, last of 4 in hunter chase at Hexham (24.2f) 51 days ago. Since runner-up in a point, so veteran is no forlorn hope.

Form: P6P/44-2

River Frost³⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr Joe Wright⁽³⁾| T: Guy Brewer| OR: 109

9/1

Fair chaser. Creditable fourth of 7 in handicap chase at Sedgefield (19.3f) 6 months ago on his final run for Ben Haslam. Since been in winning form in points, and one to consider.

Form: 4222-12

Urbanist^p¹⁸⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 12-0| J: Toby McCain-Mitchell⁽⁷⁾| T: R J Holmes| OR: 107

66/1

33/1, ninth of 10 in handicap chase at Downpatrick (23.5f) 11 months ago on his final run for S. Michael Millar. Pulled up in a point when last seen out 185 days ago. Hard to warm to.

Form: 10F/99P-

Grageelagh Girl¹⁰

Age: 11| Weight: 11-7| J: Fern O'Brien⁽⁵⁾| T: F O'Brien| OR: 102

10/3

Fair chaser. Eighteen runs since last win in 2018 but a dual points winner recently, so she's in the mix.

Form: 52U2-11

Forecasts

Reikers Island (11/10), Grageelagh Girl (10/3), Glen Forsa (4/1), River Frost (9/1), Path To Freedom (14/1), Ravished (33/1), Purple Harry (33/1), Write It Down (50/1), Urbanist (66/1), Hawkestone Spirit (125/1)

REIKERS ISLAND comes here on the back of a recent points success and can land this race for the second year running. Grageelagh Girl is a long time without a win in this sphere but has gone in twice in points recently so is next on the list ahead of Glen Forsa, who can have a say too if building on his Southwell second for his new yard.
