Off time: 16:00 | Winning time: 6m 25.20s

Ben Lilly^b²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 12-2| J: Philip Armson⁽⁵⁾| T: D Pipe| OR: 107

4/1

Useful 7-time Flat winner for David Brown. Yet to reach same heights over hurdles but latest Ffos Las second does show he can be competitive from his mark.

Form: 449-322

Debden Bank^p⁵⁵

5/1

Pair of chase wins here last season, the latter in April. Went off too hard over 29f at Fakenham since and treated as if still in form. Lower mark over hurdles.

Form: 10PP1-P

You Name Him^p,t²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: B S Hughes| T: R Menzies| OR: 99| D

6/4

Finally off the mark at Ludlow in May (final start for Tom Lacey) and followed up that breakthrough success by seeing off 4 rivals at Uttoxeter under Brian Hughes. Might be up to completing the hat-trick.

Form: 978-311

Fama Et Gloria^p1,t⁵⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Benjamin Poste| T: M Hawker| OR: 93

33/1

Runner-up in Limerick claiming hurdle on final start for Joseph O'Brien, but well beaten all 4 starts for new yard. Plenty to prove in first-time cheekpieces.

Form: 62450-P

Jack Of All Shapes¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-6| J: Nathan Moscrop| T: G Boanas| OR: 83

7/2

Fair form in bumpers and finally translated that sort of ability to hurdles when edging ahead late on in Uttoxeter handicap 18 days ago. Low mileage and possible he can build on that.

Form: 2708-01

Cosheston^v¹⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 10-2| J: Sean Quinlan| T: J Candlish| OR: 78

11/1

Finished third in handicaps on his last 3 starts last summer and back to somewhere approaching that form when 4 lengths sixth of 10 at Hexham 16 days ago. Claims if he can build on that.

Form: 8333-46

Forecasts

You Name Him (6/4), Jack Of All Shapes (7/2), Ben Lilly (4/1), Debden Bank (5/1), Cosheston (11/1), Fama Et Gloria (33/1)

YOU NAME HIM seems to be on a bit of a roll and might be up to completing the hat-trick. Recent Uttoxeter scorer Jack of All Shapes may give him most to do ahead of David Pipe's Ben Lilly.
