Off time: 14:10 | Winning time: 4m 34.20s

Dj Pete⁹³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Brendan Powell| T: O Sherwood

7/4

Malinas gelding who showed fair form in bumpers and definite promise despite jumping none too fluently when fifth in a Doncaster maiden (2.8f) in January. Shade disappointing at Lingfield a month later but he's expected to step up on that.

Form: 4/255-

Idols's Eye^h¹¹⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: M Bradstock

40/1

Presumably very hard to train given his fleeting appearances and finished lame when last seen under Rules in December 2021. Did finish third in a point at beginning of the year.

Form: 753P/3-

Moytier¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Nick Scholfield| T: S Hosie| OR: 94

40/1

Fair form when placed both starts over hurdles in France in 2020/21 but, after 23 months off, he's been well below that level in a trio of starts for current yard this year.

Form: 32/46-7

San Fermin^t1⁷⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Aidan Coleman| T: O Murphy| OR: 107WS

7/1

Half-brother to useful chaser Billaway and, having won a bumper, made a pleasing start to his hurdling career when third in a novice at Stratford in June 2021. Off 16 months and limited impact both starts since but a wind op coupled with a tongue tie may help.

Form: 2132/44-

Mistral Nell^p²³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: Bryony Frost| T: L Wadham| OR: 94

10/1

Cheekpieces on for first time when good second of 4 in handicap hurdle at Fontwell (17.7f) in April. Weakened tamely at Warwick and her profile has a patchy look to it.

Form: 54P32-P

Our Scholar¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: H Cobden| T: Jack Jones| OR: 109

1/1

Fair Flat winner who found only one too good on second hurdles start at Southwell last month. Unlucky third at Worcester since, meeting all sorts of problems, and this step up in trip looks a good move. Leading claims.

Form: 52-3

Forecasts

Our Scholar (1/1), Dj Pete (7/4), Cooleenymore (6/1), San Fermin (7/1), Mistral Nell (10/1), Moytier (40/1), Idols's Eye (40/1)

OUR SCHOLAR was probably an unlucky loser at Worcester 16 days ago given how strong he was at the finish having encountered a troubled passage, and in receipt of weight all round, he has a lot going for him. Better is expected of Dj Pete back from a break, with San Fermin a potential improver with a tongue tie on having had a breathing operation.
