11/4

Bounced back to his best to score for the first time under Rules in 19.8f Plumpton handicap chase 3 weeks ago, first-time cheekpieces seemingly doing plenty for him. Ran well here over hurdles in his novice campaign and good chance again up 8 lb.

Form: PF22-41

Do It For Thy Sen^p¹⁸²

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: R Patrick| T: Kerry Lee| OR: 110| CD

6/1

Made it 3-3 over C&D in handicaps when last seen in May, late mistakes but always holding on. This is tougher up 4 lb and he hasn't got a particularly good record fresh, but does return with yard among the winners.

Twotwothree²²⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 12-0| J: R T Dunne| T: S Allwood| OR: 110| D

16/1

Three-time winner over fences and largely creditable efforts (including over hurdles) last term. Been given a chance by the handicapper ahead of first start for new yard and has scored fresh.

Age: 10| Weight: 11-13| J: James Davies| T: Henry Oliver| OR: 109| C| D

25/1

Shaped as if needing the run after 10 months off in 2m Uttoxeter handicap hurdle recently and is 8 lb below last winning mark back over fences. Wouldn't dismiss back up in trip.

Marajman^p,t⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-11| J: C J Todd| T: C & A Pogson| OR: 107| CD

12/1

Won handicap hurdle over this trip here in May and should have come on for last week's return at Warwick after 5 months away. Quite lightly raced over fences (23 lb lower here than when starting out over them for yard a year ago).

Form: 34-1268

Heltenham^t²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 107| BF

15/8

Ex-French bumper winner/lightly-raced hurdler, has the build for chasing and took to it well enough after 7 months off at Stratford (21f), lacking both experience and race fitness compared to the winner (brushed aside home turn). Not out of it if building on that.

Form: 02032-2

Steel Wave^b,t²⁶

Age: 12| Weight: 11-8| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽³⁾| T: G Hanmer| OR: 104| C| D

25/1

Patchy form since his last win over an extended 3m here in March and this trip is on the sharp side. Others preferred.

Form: 2-92423

Maria Magdalena^p1²²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Kielan Woods| T: A M Hales| OR: 103

15/2

On a long losing run but plenty of creditable efforts in handicap hurdles this season. Not at her best when 22 lengths third on Hereford chase debut latest but she may do better with the experience behind her. Cheekpieces also on first time.

Form: 223333

Cracking Find¹²

Age: 11| Weight: 11-1| J: Ross Chapman| T: J Parkinson & S Smith| OR: 97| D

10/1

Long time since his last win (at Newcastle over this trip) and still a fair way below his best the last twice. Well handicapped.

Form: 637-435

Forecasts

Heltenham (15/8), Sublime Heights (11/4), Do It For Thy Sen (6/1), Maria Magdalena (15/2), Cracking Find (10/1), Marajman (12/1), Twotwothree (16/1), Generous Day (25/1), Steel Wave (25/1)

SUBLIME HEIGHTS won easily at Plumpton in first-time cheekpieces and seems sure to go well again if the headgear continues to work. Heltenham took to chasing well enough at Stratford and could build on that run and make his presence felt. Marajman is another to consider.
