8/1

Added to Flat tally in September and performed with credit in 3 of 4 starts on the level this year. Runner-up over hurdles when last seen but raised 6 lb for that.

Age: 9| Weight: 11-13| J: Lewis Dobb⁽⁷⁾| T: L Morgan| OR: 106

28/1

Off the mark over fences at Musselburgh in February and gained his second win in this sphere at Market Rasen in May. Well held completed start since and now back over hurdles.

Form: 143-1F5

Druim Samhraidh²⁷⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 11-11| J: Adam Wedge| T: L Morgan| OR: 104

22/1

Fairly useful bumper winner but it didn't really happen for a couple of yards over hurdles. Interesting what the market makes of him starting out for Laura Morgan, though.

Form: 0U35/P7-

Watashock⁵⁰

3/1

Successful handicap debut at Fakenham in May but looked a very hard ride when failing to land the odds in a match at Huntingdon. Return to left-handed track will help.

Form: 3843-12

Kalma^t⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-10| J: T Scudamore| T: D Pipe| OR: 108

12/1

Fair Flat performer at best and off the mark over hurdles at Exeter in mares' event in April. Sold from Alan King £25,000 and was in there pitching when carried out for new yard at Uttoxeter a week ago (tongue tied).

Form: 671-C

Presenting Pete²²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Peter Kavanagh⁽⁵⁾| T: J Mackie| OR: 102| CD

13/8

Landed a gamble on first start for new yard over C&D 3 weeks ago, staying on well. 4 lb rise won't prevent another very bold bid.

Form: 55552-1

Maroochi²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-6| J: Harry Kimber⁽⁵⁾| T: Kieran Burke| OR: 85| BF

7/2

Has returned in good nick, filling the frame all 3 starts but she's a long-standing maiden.

Form: 577-343

Forecasts

Presenting Pete (13/8), Watashock (3/1), Maroochi (7/2), White Walker (7/1), Spantik (8/1), Kalma (12/1), Druim Samhraidh (22/1), Seemingly So (28/1)

PRESENTING PETE landed a gamble starting out for John Mackie over this C&D 3 weeks ago and, given he's a 5-y-o, his limit probably hasn't been reached. Whatashock couldn't be in better hands but he looked a seriously hard ride last time, so Kalma is feared most.
