Heronord¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr Lewis Gordon⁽⁷⁾| T: Evan Williams| OR: 100

5/1

Holding his form well over fences/hurdles this season and should be on the premises again eased another 1 lb.

Form: 444242

Right Destination³⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-1| J: Tom Broughton⁽⁷⁾| T: F O'Brien| OR: 87

8/1

Long-standing maiden over hurdles but fared much better than on his previous stab at chasing when third at Bangor, though there was an element of him picking up the pieces.

Form: 28-3393

Easkey Lad^t³²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: Ben Jones| T: Miss R Curtis| OR: 87

7/2

Did well in handicap hurdles in 2021, winning twice at Ffos Las before good runner-up efforts at Newton Abbot. However, has failed to fire for new yard this season, running to a poor level on chase debut latest.

Form: 22-4674

Arbennig^b,t⁷⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: Page Fuller| T: Jamie Snowden| OR: 85WS

8/1

Opened account in 5-runner handicap at Fakenham in May but unconvincing fitted with headgear both starts since.

Form: P2-6146

Agent Saonois^t²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-4| J: Harry Reed| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 76

6/1

Opened account over hurdles when scoring at Uttoxeter (15.8f) and quickly back to form when fifth at Fontwell. Makes chase debut.

Form: 457175

Special Buddy^p,t²⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 10-4| J: Kielan Woods| T: B Pauling| OR: 76| D

9/5

Placed on first 4 starts last season but ended the campaign on a low note when well held at Worcester. Not disgraced on belated return to Rules at Stratford last month and should find this easier.

Form: 153-165

Forecasts

Special Buddy (9/5), Easkey Lad (7/2), Heronord (5/1), Agent Saonois (6/1), Right Destination (8/1), Arbennig (8/1)

SPECIAL BUDDY wasn't disgraced from 8 lb out of the weights on his belated return to Rules at Stratford last month and should go close racing off his proper mark this time. The consistent Heronord is the obvious danger.
