Courtandbould⁶²

Age: 8| Weight: 12-2| J: Tristan Durrell⁽⁵⁾| T: D Skelton| OR: 112WS

8/1

Been out of sorts under both codes for some time but has plummeted down the handicap and wouldn't be the first to be revitalised by switch to Dan Skelton's yard. Had wind operation.

Form: 388-54P

Fenna's Loss²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 12-1| J: Sean Quinlan| T: M Walford| OR: 111

11/2

Improved from hurdles debut success when second of 3 in novice event at Perth (16.2f, good, 10/3) 28 days ago. May be more to come now sent handicapping.

Form: 4-0112

Norley^t³³

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Luca Morgan⁽³⁾| T: B Pauling| OR: 110| BF

4/1

Won twice last season and shaped well, on return from 8 months off, when fourth in Worcester handicap hurdle (16f) 33 days ago. Entitled to build on that.

Form: 62115-4

Iberia^b,t³⁶

16/1

Yet to score in this sphere and was running below form when unseating rider in novice hurdle at Cartmel latest. Blinkers back on/had wind op. Plenty to prove at present.

Form: 9913/0U

Steel Wave^p,t¹²³

Age: 12| Weight: 11-9| J: Miss Immy Robinson⁽⁷⁾| T: G Hanmer| OR: 105| BF| C

33/1

Won 3 times over fences in busy 2021-22 campaign. However, not seen since April and been quite some time since he scored over smaller obstacles. Cheekpieces back on.

Form: 122122-

Zamond^b³⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: B S Hughes| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 101| D

5/2

Posted career best when winning 12-runner handicap hurdle at Cartmel (17.2f, good to soft) 36 days ago. Remains on a workable mark and must enter calculations.

Form: 3742-21

Faro^t²⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: Henry Brooke| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 97| D

12/1

Took a step back in right direction when second of 12 in handicap hurdle (40/1) over C&D (good) 25 days ago. Claims if able to build on that.

Form: 755-362

Mordred^h⁵¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Mitchell Bastyan| T: M F Harris| OR: 94| BF

8/1

Dual winner at Saint Moritz on Flat but yet to score in 5 attempts in this sphere, rather let down by his jumping at Market Rasen last time.

Form: 2354-6

Seaborough²³

Age: 7| Weight: 10-2| J: James Davies| T: D Shaw| OR: 84| D

8/1

Winless since 2019, but stepped up on his reappearance effort when third at Market Rasen (18.6f, good to firm) last month and has dropped to a handy mark.

Form: 5467-63

Forecasts

Zamond (5/2), Norley (4/1), Fenna's Loss (11/2), Seaborough (8/1), Mordred (8/1), Courtandbould (8/1), Faro (12/1), Iberia (16/1), Steel Wave (33/1)

Preference is for FENNA'S LOSS, who is going the right way over hurdles and looks on a fair mark for his first crack at handicapping. Seaborough and Zamond are feared most.
