Off time: 17:05 | Winning time: 5m 4.36s

Iconic Rock³⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-13| J: Jay Tidball⁽⁷⁾| T: A Ralph| OR: 99

33/1

In the process of showing more than on her hurdles debut when falling heavily last in novice hurdle here 11 months ago, disputing third at the time. Held over 2m on return for new yard and will make more appeal in handicaps.

Form: 26F-9

Rock Of Fame³⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-13| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: Miss V Williams| OR: 99

14/1

Fair maiden on the Flat and similar level over hurdles. Good placed effort again last time and likely to be on the premises.

Form: 72-8253

Drash On Ruby^t²³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: Rex Dingle| T: J Scott| OR: 95

13/8

Showed ability in bumpers and has done likewise over hurdles, finishing placed both starts this season. Should give another good account in quite a thin race.

Form: 36B4-32

Noplacetobe⁵⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Luca Morgan| T: M Scudamore| OR: 93

5/1

Irish point winner who showed some promise when third on her Worcester hurdling debut. Hasn't progressed since but latest effort at this course was respectable.

Form: 51-3443

Lady Berlais³⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Benjamin Poste| T: T Symonds| OR: 93

28/1

Down the field in bumpers and only mild encouragement over hurdles. Needs to improve for the switch to handicaps.

Form: 590676

Start Point^t³³⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: M G Nolan| T: R Mitford-Slade| OR: 92

12/1

Every chance at Chepstow when last seen (disputed lead 3 out, no extra between last 2). Off 11 months since but dropped 5 lb and not ruled out in her bid for a maiden success.

Form: 0534F6-

Astra Via^t²⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-5| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams| OR: 91| D

28/1

Plenty of solid efforts without success this term, sixth in a handicap at Hereford last time. Others are more appealing.

Form: 323P36

Atjima^p⁶⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: Alan Johns| T: V R A Dartnall| OR: 90

20/1

Fair bumper winner who offered definite promise in mares' novice/maidens prior to falling before race had taken shape on handicap bow last spring. However, ran poorly on return at Hereford and she now has a bit to prove.

Form: 0667F-P

Ocean's Of Money^t²⁴⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-13| J: Robert Williams⁽³⁾| T: Mrs N S Evans| OR: 85WS

80/1

Showed some ability in a pair of Irish maiden hurdles for Miss Elizabeth Doyle in March 2021. However, her efforts for this yard have not been overly inspiring and she's been off another 8 months. Has had a wind op.

Form: 552/6-40

Conna Sue²⁸⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: Shane Quinlan⁽³⁾| T: Mrs N S Evans| OR: 84

100/1

Looked limited when trained in Ireland and makes little appeal on debut for a new yard.

Form: 088-0P

Walk In The Storm^t²²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: C J Todd| T: Ian Williams| OR: 83| BF

7/1

Bumper winner who has shaped with encouragement over hurdles, left with too much to do when fourth in a novice at Uttoxeter last time. Tongue strap is refitted and she's open to plenty of improvement on handicap debut.

Form: 160-894

Hello Bob¹⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-8| J: Danny Burton⁽⁵⁾| T: S Drinkwater| OR: 80| D

11/1

Uttoxeter handicap winner back in summer 2020 but hasn't fully fired since returning from an 18-month absence last May and there's no real reason to anticipate a revival here.

Form: 56495P

Rubys Reward^t¹⁹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-5| J: Ben Jones| T: Mrs D A Hamer| OR: 77

16/1

Well backed and impressed with how she went through the race when successful at Fontwell in April. Just respectable efforts since and off 6 months (has left Anthony Honeyball).

Form: 241-505

Chantilly Haze⁹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 10-2| J: Conor Ring⁽³⁾| T: P C Dando| OR: 74

7/1

Poor maiden handicap hurdler and arrives on the back of a sub-par effort at Leicester. Off 3 months since and might need it.

Form: 5355-37

Alfa Dawn^b1¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-2| J: S Bowen| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 68

100/1

Fair maiden on the Flat for Phillip Makin in 2018 but it's a long time since she showed any form over obstacles for this yard. 2 lb out of the handicap.

Form: 5P-P97P

Palmagreen^p1⁴¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: Isabel Williams⁽³⁾| T: Evan Williams| OR: 62

66/1

Never dangerous in 2 bumpers and has fared no better switched to hurdles. Well out of the weights on handicap debut with cheekpieces fitted.

Form: 0679P

Forecasts

Drash On Ruby (13/8), Noplacetobe (5/1), Walk In The Storm (7/1), Chantilly Haze (7/1), Getbazoutofhere (10/1), Hello Bob (11/1), Start Point (12/1), Rock Of Fame (14/1), Rubys Reward (16/1), Atjima (20/1), Lady Berlais (28/1), Astra Via (28/1), Iconic Rock (33/1), Palmagreen (66/1), Ocean's Of Money (80/1), Conna Sue (100/1), Alfa Dawn (100/1)

Bumper winner WALK IN THE STORM has offered promise since switched to hurdling and there's scope for her to improve now handicapping. Drash on Ruby is in good order and is a solid alternative, while Rock of Fame should give another good account.
