Skandiburg^t²⁰³

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽³⁾| T: Charlotte Fuller| OR: 134

10/1

Four-time hurdles winner for Olly Murphy posted much his best effort for this yard in a handicap hurdle at Warwick when last seen in March. Nudged up another 2 lb but rates a player on that form.

Form: 2/55592-

Diablo De Rouhet⁶⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 11-13| J: James Bowen| T: N J Henderson| OR: 133| BF| C

4/1

Developed into useful chaser for this yard in 2019 and proved he retains ability when third of 7 in handicap chase (3/1) at Bangor (24f, good) 65 days ago. Lightly raced over hurdles.

Form: 2112/63

Isthebaropen^t⁴¹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-6| J: William Shanahan⁽⁷⁾| T: G Hanmer| OR: 126

10/1

Scored at Aintree in June and had plenty in hand when notching her second win of the season at Stratford last time. That was an uncompetitive affair and she'll need more from 6 lb higher mark here.

Form: 18-1421

Geordie Des Champs²⁷

Age: 11| Weight: 11-6| J: S Bowen| T: Miss R Curtis| OR: 126| CD

15/2

C&D winner holding his form well enough without scoring again recently, posting another creditable effort at Newton Abbot last time. Nudged down another 2 lb and he holds place claims again.

Form: 5P-4333

Butler's Brief⁷⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: J J Burke| T: A Ralph| OR: 123| CD

5/1

Had run of race but produced a career best when winning 5-runner handicap hurdle at this C&D (good to soft, 11/2) 70 days ago. Up 3 lb but should prove competitive again.

Form: 56-32F1

South Terrace³⁰³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: Dr R D P Newland| OR: 122| CD

11/2

Won over C&D last summer and ran well when third of 12 in handicap hurdle at Sandown (23.4f, good to soft) on last outing. Can be competitive from this sort of mark, though returns from 10-month absence with yard in poor form.

Form: 2/22173-

Oscar Montel^v²⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 10-11| J: Paul O'Brien| T: C E Longsdon| OR: 117| D

13/2

Chase winner at Worcester in June and ran well on return to hurdling there last month, despite shaping as if in need of a stiffer test. Holds solid frame claims again.

Form: 615223

Mr Yeats^p¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-6| J: Bradley Harris⁽⁷⁾| T: M F Harris| OR: 112

4/1

Arrives seeking a hat-trick having landed back-to-back events at Newton Abbot. 5 lb rise is fair and he should make a bold bid to extend winning run.

Form: 232311

Forecasts

Mr Yeats (4/1), Diablo De Rouhet (4/1), Butler's Brief (5/1), South Terrace (11/2), Oscar Montel (13/2), Geordie Des Champs (15/2), Isthebaropen (10/1), Skandiburg (10/1)

MR YEATS is better than ever and is taken to land the hat-trick following a pair of wins at Newton Abbot. Butler's Brief scored over C&D last time and can go well again, whilst Skandiburg remains well treated on his best form and ran his best race for his current yard when last seen.
