8/1

Course winner who posted a creditable fourth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Sedgefield (19.8f) 16 days ago. Cheekpieces back on and ought to be in the shake-up.

Form: 350-334

Age: 5| Weight: 11-10| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 100| BF

Largy Reach^h1,t³⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: Theo Gillard⁽³⁾| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 98

14/1

Not disgraced on his handicap debut when fourth of 7 at Uttoxeter (15.8f) 36 days ago. Much respected in a first-time hood.

Form: 24-5724

Bridge Road^p1²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: Sean Quinlan| T: J Candlish| OR: 98

5/1

Continues in good heart, fifth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Perth (23.9f) 21 days ago. Down in trip with cheekpieces on for the first time and no forlorn hope.

Form: 58-2225

Kings Justice¹⁶⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 11-6| J: C J Todd| T: S Allwood| OR: 97

100/1

Thrice-raced maiden, best effort when fifth of 8 in 2m novice (100/1) at Uttoxeter in April. Makes handicap debut with plenty to find at these weights.

Form: P8-5

Joie De Vivre^v⁴⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: Callum Bewley| T: M Todhunter| OR: 95

6/1

Resumed winning ways in first-time cheekpieces in 14f Flat handicap at Thirsk last month. Not taken lightly back in this sphere with visor on.

Form: 159533-

Azof Des Mottes²³⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Jonathon Bewley⁽³⁾| T: G Bewley| OR: 94WS

9/2

Good second on his handicap debut at Wetherby (2m4f) but pulled up in the mud there on his final start. Has since had a wind op and he's well weighted on his return for yard among the winners.

Form: 805P2P-

Spot On Soph^t¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: Jonathan England| T: S England| OR: 87

11/1

Shaped as if better for the run after 6 months off when fourth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Hexham (20.1f) 13 days ago. Worth considering if, as expected, building on that effort off a 2 lb lower mark here.

Form: 12413-4

Derracrin¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-10| J: Lorcan Murtagh⁽³⁾| T: F P Murtagh| OR: 86

25/1

Still a maiden and only eighth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Kelso (20.9f) 11 days ago. Others appeal more.

Form: 60-5258

Calculus¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-10| J: Philip Armson⁽³⁾| T: Sara Ender| OR: 86

28/1

Modest 1m4f winner on Flat. Has been brought along steadily over hurdles, set a lot to do when third of 6 in novice at Sedgefield (19.8f) 16 days ago. Can take another step forward now going into handicaps.

Form: 543

Across The Channel⁷⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-2| J: Emma Smith-Chaston⁽⁵⁾| T: Paula Smith| OR: 77

50/1

Arrives well below par, remote fifth of 7 in handicap hurdle at Market Rasen (18.6f) 74 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Form: 43-7585

Old Jewry¹¹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-2| J: Ross Chapman| T: D Bourke| OR: 75| CD

14/1

C&D winner but he's an unreliable sort and found little when seventh of 13 in handicap at Kelso (20.9f) 11 days ago. Others appeal more.

Form: 3-39607

Forecasts

Runwiththetide (3/1), Azof Des Mottes (9/2), Bridge Road (5/1), Joie De Vivre (6/1), She's A Rocca (7/1), Iolani (8/1), Spot On Soph (11/1), Largy Reach (14/1), Old Jewry (14/1), Baron Briggs (20/1), Derracrin (25/1), Wor Verge (28/1), Calculus (28/1), Across The Channel (50/1), Kings Justice (100/1)

Lots with chances so at the likely odds it is worth siding with AZOF DES MOTTES who hails from a yard among the winners and returns after a wind op on a handy-looking mark. Calculus makes his handicap debut with more to offer so is feared most, although Spot On Soph, Iolani and Runwiththetide all need factoring into a very open handicap.
