Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: G Sheehan| T: Jamie Snowden| OR: 106

15/2

Got back on track in first-time blinkers when second of 8 in handicap hurdle at Ffos Las (20f) 31 days ago. Can give another good account with headgear retained.

2/1

Fair stayer on Flat who opened his hurdles account in 7-runner handicap hurdle at Huntingdon (20.7f) 25 days ago. Ought to be competitive again despite 5 lb rise.

Form: 8432-41

Barely Famous⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Alex Edwards⁽³⁾| T: Joe Ponting| OR: 100

28/1

Uttoxeter maiden (2½m) winner but bought cheaply out of Nicky Henderson's stable and well held all three runs for his current yard.

Form: 12P6-P9

Mr Yeats^p²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: Mitchell Bastyan| T: M F Harris| OR: 99

7/2

Scored at Ludlow in May before good second in 25f handicap hurdle at Huntingdon 25 days ago, just edged out after mistakes at last two flights. Up 3 lb but he must enter calculations.

Form: 132-412

Persuer^t⁴⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-6| J: B S Hughes| T: T R Gretton| OR: 92

4/1

Gained her breakthrough win at Warwick in May and not disgraced when third of 4 at Aintree (20f) 46 days ago. Shortlisted.

Form: 36U4-13

Forecasts

Justified (2/1), Mr Yeats (7/2), Persuer (4/1), Une De La Seniere (7/1), College Oak (15/2), Hidden Depths (11/1), From The Heart (22/1), Barely Famous (28/1)

The handily-weighted UNE DE LA SENIERE signalled she's ready to strike again when runner-up at Worcester and can fend off Mr Yeats who seems sure to be on the premises too on the back of his good Huntingdon second. In-form duo Justified and College Oak need factoring in too in a competitive handicap.
