Sublime Heights¹⁶⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Tom Cannon| T: T Lawes| OR: 105

9/2

Point winner who has shown fair form under Rules, finishing second in maiden hurdles on last 2 starts. However, well held both previous starts in this sphere and will probably find a few too good here.

Form: 0/6PF22-

Faitque De L'Isle²²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: R Patrick| T: M Scudamore| OR: 98

10/3

Fair form over fences in France in 2020 and twice runner-up over hurdles for Ed de Giles last year. Low-key start for new yard back in this sphere on latest start in February, though, and now has plenty to prove.

Form: 2P/8225-

Heronord¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams| OR: 98

9/1

Remains a maiden following 19 attempts under Rules but on a good mark judged on bits and pieces of form. Trip/ground fine and should make his presence felt.

Form: 442424

Aces Full⁵⁰³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: R P McLernon| T: S Curran| OR: 95

22/1

Modest form at best in Ireland for Patrick Breen and can only be watched starting out for new yard here on the back of a 16-month absence.

Form: 2P69/07-

Jack Thunder^t1⁶⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 10-11| J: Harry Bannister| T: A M Hales| OR: 88

7/2

Runner-up sole completion between the flags and has performed with credit on a few occasions under Rules in bumpers/over hurdles. Tongue strap enlisted for this chase debut and he's worth a second look.

Form: 683/P-64

Time To Bite²⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 10-9| J: Bryan Carver| T: C Honour| OR: 86

3/1

Winless following 9 attempts in points and 0-20 under Rules. On the upside, he has acquitted himself well enough in handicap chases over this C&D and Uttoxeter for new yard the last twice to suggest that he has a real chance in a race of this nature.

Form: 056P33

Ahead Of Schedule⁸⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-7| J: Shane Quinlan⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs N S Evans| OR: 84| BF| C

8/1

Left hurdles form behind when making all for a narrow success over 22.6f here in June. However, misfired off this 6 lb higher mark back here the following month and he's probably worth taking on.

Form: 540/618

Forecasts

Time To Bite (3/1), Faitque De L'Isle (10/3), Jack Thunder (7/2), Sublime Heights (9/2), Notnow Seamus (7/1), Ahead Of Schedule (8/1), Heronord (9/1), Aces Full (22/1)

HERONORD's latest effort at Plumpton wasn't one of his better ones but he's edged down to a career-low mark and a belated first taste of success could be on the cards. Fellow maiden Time To Bite is next on the list ahead of Jack Thunder, who will be a threat if perked up by the switch to fences.
