Age: 6|  Weight: 12-2| J: Miss Chloe Emsley(7)| T: Ben Clarke| OR:  102
66/1
Just fair form at best over hurdles in Ireland but shaped as if he retains some ability on reappearance for a new stable at Exeter 19 days ago. Not completely dismissed.

Rather in and out for Tom Lacey but stepped forward on her second outing for this stable over C&D last time. Hard to rely on but claims if he can build on that.

Modest maiden hurdler who has slipped in the weights and is likely to come on for his reappearance at this course. Not completely dismissed.

Hinted at ability in his qualifying runs last season but has made an underwhelming start in handicaps.

11/2
Just modest form over hurdles to date (also failed to take to chasing last year), and was below form in a handicap at this course recently. Might come on for the run, however.

6/4
Going the right way all of a sudden and had a bit to spare when landing a 14-runner handicap at this course 27 days ago. Another bold showing is on the cards.

Age: 4|  Weight: 10-8| J: Brendan Powell| T: C Hobson| OR:  81
33/1
Lightly-raced maiden who has made no impact in handicap hurdles so far. Others make more appeal.

5/2
Bumper winner who made no impact in a trio of novice hurdles earlier this year but has offered more since switched to handicaps, third in first-time blinkers at Uttoxeter a month ago. Considered.

Forecasts

The Imposter (6/4), Captain Claude (5/2), Brandisova (11/2), Gold Clermont (15/2), Delgany Monarch (15/2), The Big Red One (25/1), Doyen Street (33/1), Merry Dreamer (66/1)

Verdict

THE IMPOSTER arrives on the up and showed a likeable response to pressure when winning at this course 27 days ago, so he makes most appeal, with Captain Claude regarded as the main danger having hit the frame on both handicap outings to date. Gold Clermont could also feature if she backs up her return to form over C&D last time.
