Off time: 15:27 | Winning time: 5m 7.81s

Weebill^p,t¹⁵

Age: 11| Weight: 12-0| J: Daire Davis⁽⁷⁾| T: O Murphy| OR: 114

11/4

Good record at selling/claiming level in recent times, including winning a 2m Fakenham claimer last month. The one to beat.

Form: 123-131

Ring The Moon^p,t⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 11-10| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams| OR: 90| D

15/2

Fifth career success when taking a Chepstow handicap hurdle 9 days ago but that form is only modest and he'll require more if he's to follow up in this non-handicap.

Form: 1-0P3P1

Captain Jack^p,t¹¹

Age: 10| Weight: 11-4| J: Toby Wynne⁽⁵⁾| T: S Drinkwater| OR: 93

4/1

Turned in his best effort of the season when third of 9 in 2m Wetherby handicap 11 days ago. Place claims again if in similar form.

Form: 8B3273

Forecast²⁰

Age: 11| Weight: 11-4| J: Harry Atkins⁽¹⁰⁾| T: M Keighley| OR: 103| CD

11/4

Three-time winner over hurdles in first spell for this yard and added to tally over fences for Dr Richard Newland during 2021. Yet to find his best form since rejoining this stable but this is a drop in grade.

Form: 293546

Hokelami²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: W T Kennedy| T: O Murphy| OR: 91

7/2

Has shown some promise, including when third of 7 in 19f Market Rasen handicap last time. Likely to be in the shake-up now dropping into a seller.

Form: 53003

Kingston King^b1⁶⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 11-4| J: Roisin Leech⁽⁷⁾| T: J Coulson| OR: 73

50/1

Exposed as modest and easy to look elsewhere back hurdling after pulling up over fences last twice.

Form: 62-P2PP

Forecasts

Weebill (11/4), Forecast (11/4), Hokelami (7/2), Captain Jack (4/1), Malina Ocarina (4/1), Ring The Moon (15/2), Kingston King (50/1)

WEEBILL looks good for a fifth win in his last 8 starts. The returning Malina Ocarina can give him most to think about ahead of the selection's stablemate Hokelami.
