50/1

Fair form over hurdles in France but something to prove after running no sort of race in Worcester handicap last month. Cheekpieces now added.

Form: 53P-F20

Jaunty Soria^p³⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 12-0| J: Harry Reed| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 105| D

16/1

Ended last year in good form and picked up where she left off when scoring at Worcester in May. Backed that up when runner-up over same C&D next time but found run of good form coming to a halt since.

Form: P22-127

Shinobi^p,t¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: David Bass| T: K Bailey & M Nicholls| OR: 102| D

5/1

Back to winning ways when taking 9-runner handicap hurdle at Ffos Las (20f, good to soft) 19 days ago, keeping on well. 4 lb rise fair and is one for the shortlist.

Form: 0-66PU1

Supreme Yeats⁴⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: Adam Wedge| T: L Morgan| OR: 102

6/4

Ran near best form when second of 9 in handicap hurdle over C&D (good to firm) 45 days ago. Still relatively low mileage and must enter calculations.

Form: 442/3P-2

Sermando^p,t¹⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-11| J: K Brogan| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 102

4/1

Returning from 5 months off when creditable third of 17 in handicap hurdle at Chepstow (19.4f, good to soft) 17 days ago. Can race off same mark and holds strong claims.

Form: 65P3-P3

Tommydan^p²²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: Sean Quinlan| T: J Candlish| OR: 97

12/1

Not disgraced when returned to hurdles at Carlisle last month but more needed to take a hand here. Cheekpieces back on.

Form: 82-9835

Kilganer Queen^t³¹

Age: 12| Weight: 11-1| J: Ben Ffrench-Davis⁽⁷⁾| T: A West| OR: 92| D

18/1

Multiple winner in Ireland and scored for this yard at Sedgefield in April. Likely needed last month's Hereford return and is not out of things.

Form: P4325-6

Dakota Beat^t²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-13| J: Joe Williamson⁽⁵⁾| T: J R Norton| OR: 90| D

22/1

Fairly useful at best for Gavin Cromwell but yet to trouble the judge for current yard and makes limited appeal.

Form: 05807-5

Robeam^p¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: Lewis Stones⁽⁵⁾| T: M Mullineaux| OR: 90| C

14/1

Resumed winning ways here (24.3f) in May and has largely acquitted himself well in defeat since. However, needs to bounce back from poor effort at Bangor latest.

Form: 332037

Force De Frap^p,t1²¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: Harrison Beswick⁽³⁾| T: Mrs E Bishop| OR: 89

80/1

Fair form over hurdles and fences in France but hasn't offered much in 3 British handicaps. Tongue strap added for first time.

Form: 73P/P80-

Cronk Y Knox^t²⁶⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 10-4| J: Bryan Carver| T: A M Hales| OR: 81

12/1

Not seen for 8 months and running below form when falling in handicap hurdle at Fontwell (19.2f, soft).

Form: 7/P340F-

Ulysses^v³

Age: 8| Weight: 10-2| J: James Davies| T: D Shaw| OR: 76| D

80/1

Won at Worcester in summer of 2021 but has offered little since and is best watched from out of the handicap.

Form: 5040-08

Black Lightning^b¹⁴⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 10-2| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽³⁾| T: G Howell| OR: 74

28/1

Well below par when last seen out in June, seventh of 14 in handicap hurdle at Worcester (20f). Hard to recommend from 5 lb out of the weights.

Form: F0P-P97

Forecasts

Supreme Yeats (6/4), Boomtime Banker (11/4), Sermando (4/1), Shinobi (5/1), Tommydan (12/1), Cronk Y Knox (12/1), Robeam (14/1), Jaunty Soria (16/1), Kilganer Queen (18/1), Dakota Beat (22/1), Black Lightning (28/1), These Happy Daze (50/1), Force De Frap (80/1), Ulysses (80/1)

SERMANDO has been given a chance by the handicapper and made an encouraging return at Chepstow last month. He gets the nod. Boomtime Banker and Shinobi rate the principal dangers.
