7/2

Enjoyed a good summer, landing the odds in taking style to bring up the hat-trick in a 3-runner novice at Fontwell under this rider. Not so good in tougher handicap at Worcester last time but dropped 4 lb and steps up in trip now. Could revive.

Form: 32-1114

The Plimsoll Line¹⁷²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Jack Martin⁽³⁾| T: J Scott| OR: 113

10/3

In good form when last seen, opening his account in 2m Warwick maiden (idled markedly late on). Goes up markedly in trip and could have more to offer now handicapping if proving straighter.

Form: 3/3302-1

Une De La Seniere^t²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Fern O'Brien| T: F O'Brien| OR: 113

16/1

Three-time winner over hurdles for this yard and claims on pick of this season's efforts (may have won at Warwick last month with a better jump at the last). Longer trip fine and she could be involved.

Halifax^t³³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Jamie Brace| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 108| BF

2/1

Remains a maiden following 9 attempts over hurdles but ran one of his better races when second at Worcester (2m) a month ago. Upped markedly in trip and could feature under new pilot if staying.

Form: 32-3552

Huflower⁴⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Freddie Gordon⁽³⁾| T: P F Nicholls| OR: 106

9/2

Dual-bumper winner in France but an underachiever for Paul Nicholls so far. Hopes rest on this much longer trip now handicapping.

Form: 11/5F4-6

Pageant Material²⁶⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-9| J: Miss Eleanor Williams⁽³⁾| T: Evan Williams| OR: 96

11/1

Left previous form well behind to land 2m Ffos Las mares' novice hurdle at the start of the year. Disappointing on handicap bow following month but remains unexposed and worth another chance on return with this trip likely to suit.

Mamluk¹⁰⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Mr Daniel Ellis⁽⁵⁾| T: Christian Williams| OR: 91

28/1

Fair winner on the level in France and promise over hurdles initially for this yard. Well held in handicaps last 2 starts though and needs more. A market move should be noted.

Forecasts

Halifax (2/1), The Plimsoll Line (10/3), Sure Touch (7/2), Huflower (9/2), Pageant Material (11/1), Une De La Seniere (16/1), Mamluk (28/1), Starsky (50/1)

PAGEANT MATERIAL disappointed on her handicap debut when last seen in February but is worth another chance on her return with this longer trip looking sure to suit. Une de La Seniere has stamina proven and could emerge as the danger ahead of Halifax and The Plimsoll Line
