Off time: 16:30 | Winning time: 4m 59.74s

Tinnahalla¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Daire Davis⁽¹⁰⁾| T: O Murphy| OR: 110

25/1

Dual 2m winner in 2021 but winless last season and has finished well held on the Flat and over timber in recent starts. Mark continues to tumble but others look to have stronger credentials.

Form: 7027-44

Uknowcarty¹⁰⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr Kevin Brogan| T: P J Gilligan| OR: 110

11/2

Went close when third on handicap debut at Navan back in February but unsuited by the drop back in trip on a sharper track at Wexford a fortnight later. Step back up in distance a positive but hard to know what to make of him on first start on these shores.

London Eye^p⁴²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Thomas Doggrell⁽³⁾| T: C A Dwyer| OR: 108

4/1

Ran well on the Flat in April and did so again with the cheekpieces retained back over hurdles when third to Duke of Luckley at this track (15.8f, good) 6 weeks ago. Not discounted now significantly up in trip.

Form: 142P4-3

Samos Island⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: Ned Fox⁽⁵⁾| T: M Sheppard| OR: 107

22/1

Runner-up in a couple of points in May and caused a surprise on first outing since leaving W. J. Burke when landing a Huntingdon maiden (15.8f, good) earlier this month, forging clear. Unable to translate that form to a handicap since so needs to bounce back.

Form: P-62215

Technological^p²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: Bradley Harris⁽¹⁰⁾| T: M F Harris| OR: 107

15/2

Still 1 lb higher than for winning a weak 3-runner event at Exeter in April and hasn't looked to have much in hand from the handicapper on all 3 outings of starts since. Tough to support with much confidence.

Form: P316-35

Rare Clouds³³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-8| J: Philip Armson| T: Simon Earle| OR: 104| CD

4/1

Wasn't firing towards the back end of last year but, following a breathing operation and a 5-month absence, capitalised on a falling mark to open his account in decisive fashion over C&D last month. 6 lb higher here and task is now backing up that effort.

Form: P/2345-1

Presenting Pete⁵⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Peter Kavanagh| T: J Mackie| OR: 98

15/8

Promise in bumpers and again in 5 runs over hurdles, no match for a winner running unpenalised but pulling clear of the rest when runner-up over C&D in April. Has left Alan King since (£16,000) but every chance he can build on that effort after a couple of months off.

Form: 755552-

Mauritian Bolt^p1²²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-3| J: Thomas Willmott| T: Ruth Jefferson| OR: 85

18/1

Not really kicked on over hurdles, making little impact back in handicap company when fourth of 5 at Uttoxeter just over 3 weeks ago. Dropped another 3 lb but he's looked very limited on all bar the odd occasion so percentage call is to look elsewhere. Cheekpieces applied.

Form: U604-54

Forecasts

Presenting Pete (15/8), Duke Of Luckley (5/2), London Eye (4/1), Rare Clouds (4/1), Uknowcarty (11/2), Jaunty Soria (6/1), Technological (15/2), Mauritian Bolt (18/1), Samos Island (22/1), Tinnahalla (25/1)

DUKE OF LUCKLEY took his form up a notch when opening his account in clear-cut style at this track 6 weeks ago and, with this step back up in trip holding no fears, he's fancied to defy a 9 lb rise in the weights. Presenting Pete is heading the right way so he heads up the dangers on debut for John Mackie, while Irish-raider Uknowcarty is another to consider on his first start on these shores.
