Sageburg County¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 12-1| J: Dylan Kitts⁽⁷⁾| T: W Greatrex| OR: 106

5/1

Successful on sole outing in Irish points and has shown fair form over hurdles. Very much the type to do better now sent chasing, so worth chancing.

Hardy Boy²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Luca Morgan| T: B Pauling| OR: 105| D

10/3

Has been in good form over hurdles and has the physique to take to this discipline, so looks a player down in grade.

Debden Bank^v³⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 12-0| J: B S Hughes| T: M Keighley| OR: 105

22/1

Down to a handy mark but ended last year out of form and was pulled up at Southwell on return last month, so has a bit to prove.

Drop Him In^p²⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-13| J: S Bowen| T: O Murphy| OR: 104| BF

5/1

Winner in chase at Huntingdon in March. 85/40, creditable fourth of 8 in handicap chase at Huntingdon (23.6f, good to soft) 26 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Can make presence felt.

Pileup⁴³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: M Walford| OR: 98| BF

5/2

Fair maiden hurdler who made an encouraging start in this sphere after two early mistakes when second of 6 in handicap over C&D. Seemed amiss last time but may well bounce back after short break.

Form: 24722P-

Victory Echo^t¹⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 11-5| J: Conor Rabbitt⁽⁷⁾| T: M A Barnes| OR: 96

15/2

Confirmed his return to form to capitalise on a reduced mark at Perth recently. Remains well treated on old form and, while consistency has never been his strong suit, he's not one to rule out.

Form: 5P5371-

Toad Of Toad Hall³⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 10-2| J: Adam Wedge| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR: 79

28/1

Didn't need to improve when off the mark in 3-runner handicap chase at Fontwell (3m2f) in June. Off 5 months following that success and below form on his 4 outings since, pulled up at Wincanton on latest. Plenty to prove.

Form: 216P6P-

Caro Des Flos^p⁴⁵

Age: 11| Weight: 10-2| J: Harry Bannister| T: J S Smith| OR: 75

15/2

Seems poor nowadays and only fourth of 8 at Huntingdon 45 days ago. Cheekpieces back on but looks up against it from out of the weights.

SAGEBURG COUNTY finished with running left in a handicap hurdle at Southwell last time and, having won his only start between the flags, he's very much the type to do better over fences, so he gets the nod over fellow chasing debutant Hardy Boy. Drop Him In is in good order and should also be on the premises.
