Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: Donagh Meyler| T: K Thornton| OR: 144| D

8/1

Useful hurdler who arrive on the back of a good season on the Flat, runner-up at the Curragh last month. Irish challenger who is much respected.

Form: 71241/0-

Onemorefortheroad²⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: J M Quinlan| T: N B King| OR: 135| D

9/4

Tough and reliable type who returned with fading fourth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Aintree (20f) 26 days ago. One to consider now back down in trip.

Form: 11243-4

Doctor Parnassus²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 134| CD

22/1

Lightly-raced C&D winner but he came in last of 5 at Cheltenham (16.4f) 27 days ago. In good hands so he shouldn't be written off.

Form: 1178-5

Gipsy De Choisel¹⁸⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: D A Jacob| T: N J Henderson| OR: 130| D

5/1

Hurdles winner on sole start in France and opened his account on these shores in cosy fashion at Warwick (2m) in May. Up 6 lb but in the mix on seasonal return.

Form: 135F/8-1

Whizz Kid^t¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-9| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: Dr R D P Newland| OR: 125| BF| D

14/1

Useful Flat performer who won easily twice in the spring. Had wind op before resuming with creditable second of 5 in handicap hurdle at Musselburgh (15.6f) 16 days ago so one for the shortlist eased 1 lb.

Form: 51147-2

In The Air²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-7| J: J E Moore| T: G & J Moore| OR: 123| D

18/1

Scored on his British debut at Newbury in March but only sixth in Anniversary Hurdle at Aintree (17f) following month. Fell 3rd in Fontwell handicap on his return but he remains with potential in handicaps.

Form: 3116-F

Lively Citizen²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-4| J: Kielan Woods| T: D J Jeffreys| OR: 120| D

12/1

Likeable and consistent sort but he turned in a rare poor effort in 2m Cheltenham handicap on his return. Sort to bounce back.

Form: 1P126-0

Monviel²⁵¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-4| J: T J O'Brien| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 120| D

15/2

Landed Wincanton maiden and Sandown novice last winter and not disgraced when eighth of 22 in 2m Sandown handicap on his final run. Has more to offer this term so can't be dismissed.

Form: 66118-

Get Back Get Back^t¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-2| J: Ben Bromley⁽⁷⁾| T: H Fry| OR: 117| D

7/2

Jumped better than usual when resuming with impressive success in 2m handicap hurdle at Kempton 11 days ago, quickening smartly clear. Big player again.

Form: 5223-41

Forecasts

Onemorefortheroad (9/4), Get Back Get Back (7/2), Gipsy De Choisel (5/1), Herbiers (6/1), Monviel (15/2), Shanroe (8/1), Lively Citizen (12/1), Whizz Kid (14/1), In The Air (18/1), Doctor Parnassus (22/1)

GET BACK GET BACK looked an improved model when scoring impressively on his return at Kempton so Harry Fry's 7-y-o looks the way to go before his new mark kicks in (due to be 5 lb higher). The likeable Onemorefortheroad heads the list of dangers now he reverts to his optimum trip. Gipsy de Choisel is another to note.
