6/5

Goes well here, resuming winning ways in C&D handicap in May (decent form) before a good second to 126-rated rival building up a solid course record himself 3 weeks ago. Strong claims.

Form: 3P6-212

4/1

Good second over 21f here in May but taken on for the lead over same C&D 3 weeks ago and ran poorly. Unproven over this far and risky for all he's on a tempting mark.

Form: 7433-27

The Very Thing^v⁵⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-1| J: Miss Becky Smith| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 87| D

14/1

Scored over fences at Catterick in January and good second at Market Rasen (from 10 lb out of the handicap) in April. Poor there last time but could bounce back.

Form: P1P52-6

Kiltorcan Boy²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Henry Brooke| T: B Ellison| OR: 86

6/1

Lightly raced and better run in handicap hurdles here (25.4f) 3 weeks ago. Likely to make at least as good a chaser. Interesting.

Form: 065-82

Old Harry Rocks^p²⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 10-6| J: C Gethings| T: Mrs S Leech| OR: 78

20/1

Newton Abbot (21f) novice handicap chase winner in April 2021 but struggling for form at present.

Form: 3435-P8

Prince Of Bad Lins^t²²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Liam Harrison⁽³⁾| T: R Potter| OR: 73

15/2

Modest maiden hurdler. Upped further in trip for chase debut. Market support could be revealing.

Form: 360-597

Fraterculus^p,t¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: Craig Nichol| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 71

10/1

Maiden hurdler/chaser. Poor run over hurdles at Worcester 17 days ago. Hard to fancy.

Form: 343-468

Supreme Steel^b³⁵

Age: 11| Weight: 10-2| J: Aaron Anderson⁽⁵⁾| T: M E Sowersby| OR: 64

25/1

Veteran who scored at Hexham (extended 3m) in October. Not seen to best effect there last time but others preferred.

Form: 546-P44

Forecasts

Dee Star (6/5), Mah Mate Bob (4/1), Kiltorcan Boy (6/1), Prince Of Bad Lins (15/2), Fraterculus (10/1), The Very Thing (14/1), Old Harry Rocks (20/1), Supreme Steel (25/1)

DEE STAR's recent C&D form reads well and he has solid claims back down in grade. Kiltorcan Boy is interesting on his first go over fences, while market support for 4-y-o Price of Bad Lins, also quickly switched to chasing, could be interesting.
