First Angel^t¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: B S Hughes| T: L Morgan| OR: 105| BF

4/5

Off 5 months before posting good third of 7 in handicap chase at Southwell (20.4f) 15 days ago, no extra late on. Still low mileage and very much one to consider now down in trip off the same mark.

Form: 32347-3

Rock On Tommy^b,t²²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: S Bowen| T: O Murphy| OR: 89| D

11/2

Scored over hurdles at Uttoxeter in June and not disgraced on his fencing debut when fifth of 6 in 2m handicap at Uttoxeter 22 days ago. Not ruled out if, as expected, building on it now.

Form: 166-415

Spider's Bite^p,t⁴⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 10-11| J: Jack Tudor| T: A Nicol| OR: 88| D

16/1

It's now twenty runs since his last win in 2018 and he was pulled up on his sole outing for Chris Gordon in 23f Worcester handicap last month. Cheekpieces back on and has re-joined former yard with plenty to prove.

Form: 5U646-P

Six One Nine^t,v³⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 10-11| J: William Shanahan⁽⁷⁾| T: C Grant| OR: 88| D

17/2

Scored at Newcastle in February but he came in last of 7 in 2m handicap chase at Southwell 30 days ago. Not the easiest to catch right.

Form: 514-2F7

Getaman^b³⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 10-2| J: Kielan Woods| T: D J Jeffreys| OR: 78

7/2

Reliable sort who comes here on the back of excellent second of 7 in 2m handicap chase at Southwell 30 days ago. Winner has gone in since so he's well in the mix despite being 1 lb out of the handicap.

Form: 426-3B2

Forecasts

First Angel (4/5), Getaman (7/2), Rock On Tommy (11/2), Six One Nine (17/2), Spider's Bite (16/1), Ensel Du Perche (33/1)

FIRST ANGEL made an encouraging return from a lay-off when third at Southwell and is weighted to open his account here for the excellent Laura Morgan. Getaman is feared most on the back of his good second at the same track with Rock On Tommy not discounted either if stepping up on his chasing debut fifth at Uttoxeter.
