Rose Sea Has²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: Dr R D P Newland| OR: 119| CD

10/3

Consistent last term, winning over C&D and Wetherby in March. Should strip fitter for his recent return at Uttoxeter so makes plenty of appeal from a 2 lb lower mark.

Form: 311V-42

Ecu De La Noverie^b¹³⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-10| J: Mr D Maxwell⁽³⁾| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 115

15/2

Useful chaser earlier in his career. Not so good nowadays and last seen tailed off at Worcester (16.5f, good to soft) back in June. Tough to catch right but capable of making his mark in this.

Form: 483-323

Family Business^t¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-10| J: Lily Pinchin⁽³⁾| T: R Hobson| OR: 115

10/1

Justified support when making winning yard debut at Leicester in January but he's been well below that level since, latest when tailed-off last of 3 at this track on reappearance recently.

Form: 415P-63

Sainte Doctor^t¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: R P McLernon| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 114| D

10/1

French Flat winner who scored over hurdles at Uttoxeter and Plumpton in the spring. Off 5 months, beaten a long way on both outings over fences last term so can only be watched on that evidence.

Form: 211-436

Parliament Hill²⁰⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 11-9| J: S Bowen| T: O Murphy| OR: 122

3/1

Encouraging winning start over hurdles for new stable at Leicester last autumn and doubled his tally on second start after a wind op when scoring at Plumpton back in the spring. One to look out for now sent over the larger obstacles.

Form: 1621-

Desque De L'Isle²⁶⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 11-8| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: Miss V Williams| OR: 113

3/1

Improved when scoring readily at Ffos Las on return last season (after a wind op) but consistent rather than progressive since. Makes return after 10 months off and holds leading claims if he's ready to roll.

Form: 143545-

Darebin²¹⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 10-11| J: J E Moore| T: G & J Moore| OR: 102| CD

15/2

Temperamental chaser who bounced back in a change of headgear to score over C&D last October. Failed to build on that success later that season and returns to action from this much-reduced mark. Worth a market check.

Forecasts

Parliament Hill (3/1), Desque De L'Isle (3/1), Rose Sea Has (10/3), Ecu De La Noverie (15/2), Darebin (15/2), Family Business (10/1), Sainte Doctor (10/1)

Plenty in with chances but preference is for ROSE SEA HAS. Dr Richard Newland's front runner should strip fitter for his recent outing at Uttoxeter 3 weeks ago and he's fancied to get the better of chasing debutant Parliament Hill, who notched his second win from just 4 starts over timber back in April. Desque de L'isle rounds off the shortlist.
