Off time: 15:10 | Winning time: 5m 14.72s

Moot Court^t³¹⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: Liam Harrison⁽³⁾| T: F O'Brien| OR: 100

13/2

Some promise on sole bumper and showed some ability in novice hurdles, though finishing effort was questionable more than once. Makes chase debut in weak race after 10-month absence and market appeals as best guide to expectations.

Barnay^b¹³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-3| J: Max Kendrick| T: J Coulson| OR: 89| D

9/1

Bounced back to form when third of 9 in handicap chase at Catterick (19.2f, good, 33/1) 13 days ago after disappointing spell over hurdles for this yard. Suited by run of race that day but he's not without a chance again here.

C'Est Quelqu'un^p¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: David Bass| T: S Curran| OR: 88

12/1

Off the mark over hurdles at Fontwell this time last year but has struggled badly since, no improvement back over fences on his last 2 outings.

Form: PPP-03P

Cloudy Wednesday^p¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-11| J: Fergus Gregory| T: C Fryer| OR: 83

9/2

Proved well suited by strong pace when finally off the mark in third of 9 in handicap chase at Catterick (19.2f, good, 33/1) 13 days ago. Looks to have found an equally weak event here and can give bold show in follow up bid.

Ya Know Yaseff^p,t¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-5| J: T Scudamore| T: D Pipe| OR: 77

11/8

Successful sole start in Irish points. Made much more impact impact than previously over hurdles when runner-up under a positive ride at Fakenham last time. Has found a very weak contest to make chase debut in and is shortlisted.

Heron Creek^b1¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-4| J: Charlie Hammond| T: Dr R D P Newland| OR: 76

4/1

Made a winning handicap hurdle debut at Chepstow in April but hasn't yet taken to chasing in 3 starts. More severe headgear now applied.

Form: PU95P4

Dogem By Design^t⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: Benjamin Poste| T: R Potter| OR: 73

28/1

Made frame in a point but hasn't shown any ability under Rules and can be passed over again.

Forecasts

Ya Know Yaseff (11/8), Heron Creek (4/1), Cloudy Wednesday (9/2), Moot Court (13/2), Barnay (9/1), C'Est Quelqu'un (12/1), Dogem By Design (28/1)

Winning pointer YA KNOW YASEFF ran her best race over hurdles at Fakenham last time and wouldn't need to improve to make a successful chase debut. Cloudy Wednesday and Barnay were both seen to good effect when running well last time and would be in the mix with similar performances here.
