Moonlight Glory²⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 12-1| J: Tom Midgley⁽⁵⁾| T: M Walford| OR: 106

40/1

Twice a winner over hurdles in Ireland and good start for new yard when runner-up in handicap chase at Hexham (20.1f) in March. After 7 months off, looked rusty at Kelso 26 days ago. This run should reveal more back hurdling upped in trip.

Form: 53622-9

Fenland Tiger¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Jonathan England| T: S England| OR: 100

10/3

Shaped like a stayer in bumpers and in his qualifying runs over hurdles. After 9 months off, duly made a winning handicap debut upped in trip at Carlisle (20f) before following up at Hexham (23.3f) 13 days ago. Respected.

Form: 8307-11

Thatbeatsbanagher^p⁴⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-9| J: R P McLernon| T: B Haslam| OR: 100

22/1

Returned to form when readily accounting for 4 rivals at Sedgefield (27f) in September. However, followed a good effort with a below-par one at Hexham later the same month. Capable if on a going day.

Form: 52-4019

Let Me Entertain U^t,v²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Luca Morgan⁽³⁾| T: M Scudamore| OR: 98| D

9/2

Made winning debut in a bumper back in 2020 but remains a maiden over hurdles. After 6 months off and a second wind op, travelled more kindly in a first-time visor when fourth at Uttoxeter (19.9f) 20 days ago. Needs to build on that effort.

Form: 2721-34

Pileup²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: M Walford| OR: 97

6/1

Lightly-raced maiden who ran respectably when fourth of 11 on handicap debut at Wetherby (21.2f) 20 days ago. Can make his presence felt with more to offer upped further in trip.

Form: P94-24

Ribeye²⁰¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Sean Quinlan| T: P Atkinson| OR: 91| CD

16/1

Has improved since upped to 3m, comfortably getting off the mark at Newcastle in April. After an 8 lb rise in the weights, could only finish mid-field at Hexham on his next outing though. Needs to find more on his return.

Form: 7F421-7

Bouncing Bobby²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: Peter Kavanagh⁽⁵⁾| T: M Todhunter| OR: 88

11/4

Didn't show much over hurdles last winter, but after a good spell on the Flat he opened his account over timber at Carlisle (20f, heavy) last month. Open to further improvement in this sphere and can follow up.

Form: 7680-1

High Yield³⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-10| J: Sam Coltherd| T: Sara Ender| OR: 87

80/1

Didn't show much in 3 bumpers and has shaped like a stayer in his qualifying runs over hurdles, including when fourth of 6 on stable debut at Wetherby (19.7f) last month. Now upped in trip for handicap debut, but others make more appeal.

Form: 00-8534

Just Jess¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-7| J: Ross Chapman| T: J Parkinson & S Smith| OR: 84

28/1

Showed much-improved form when making a winning return in a Hexham novice last season, but hasn't gone on from that effort since. Possibly needed the run back at Hexham 13 days ago, though has enough to prove at present.

Form: P6209-0

Great Raffles^p²²³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-5| J: Emma Smith-Chaston⁽⁵⁾| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 82| D

15/2

With cheekpieces reapplied, was thriving when last seen in the spring as he got off the mark at Wetherby (24.1f) in March. Upped further in trip, made it back-to-back wins at Sedgefield (27f) the following month. Contender on his return.

Form: 8PP311-

Misscarlett^p³⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 10-2| J: Joe Williamson⁽⁵⁾| T: P A Kirby| OR: 77| BF

25/1

Mixed bag over timber and on the level since winning handicap hurdle at Market Rasen (23.1f) in November last year, though produced one of her better recent efforts when second of 4 at Perth (23.9f) in September. Last on the Flat since.

Form: 97-7462

Sir Jim¹⁸⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 10-2| J: Nathan Moscrop| T: Ruth Jefferson| OR: 75WS

28/1

Yet to make much impact in five starts over hurdles, finding no improvement for the switch to handicaps on his last 2 outings. Needs to leave previous form well behind on return having had another wind op.

Form: 6/5880-6

Goldrapper⁵¹

Age: 9| Weight: 10-2| J: Danny McMenamin| T: H Hogarth| OR: 74

20/1

Remains a maiden after 23 NH runs. In first-time tongue tie, back on track when runner-up in handicap chase at Market Rasen in August, but not in the same form both starts since. Best watched back over hurdles.

Form: 66P255

Smart Boyo¹⁶³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: C J Todd| T: P A Kirby| OR: 73

80/1

Little promise in trio of juvenile events and was well out of the handicap when seventh of 12 on handicap bow at this course (20.3f) in April. Has made the frame once from 3 starts on the level since, but he's out of the weights again here.

Bouncing Bobby (11/4), Fenland Tiger (10/3), Let Me Entertain U (9/2), Pileup (6/1), Great Raffles (15/2), Ribeye (16/1), Goldrapper (20/1), Thatbeatsbanagher (22/1), Misscarlett (25/1), Northern Falcon (25/1), Just Jess (28/1), Sir Jim (28/1), Moonlight Glory (40/1), Smart Boyo (80/1), High Yield (80/1)

BOUNCING BOBBY stays well on the Flat and, upped in trip, showed improved form in this sphere when opening his account at Carlisle last month. The 5-y-o can score again with this longer distance to suit, though Fenland Tiger is respected having won both of his starts so far this season. Great Raffles also bids for a hat-trick on his return to action.
