Consistent type in the main who finished well when fourth at this course 11 days ago. Stayed well on the Flat, so looks well worth a try over this longer trip, and worth chancing from a handy mark.
|
Lightly-raced 7-y-o who confirmed previous promise when opening his account in 10-runner Bangor handicap last spring. Probably needed the run at Market Rasen on only subsequent outing (22 days ago) and likely to be much closer to form this time.
|
Fair on the Flat and, while only modest over hurdles, he was better than the result when sixth at Cork on final outing for Denis Hogan 28 days ago. Worth a market check starting out for new stable.
|
Fair maiden hurdler who hasn't fired on his last couple of starts but drops in grade now. Potentially well treated and worthy of interest if the market speaks in his favour.
|
Has hinted at ability and steps back up in trip for handicap debut. Interesting that connections have made the journey over and market support would be significant.
|
Unplaced in bumpers for Tim Reed and comfortably held over hurdles to date. More required if he's to make an impact on second handicap outing.
|
Just poor form over hurdles to date but latest fourth in handicap at Down Royal was a positive step and she's bred to do better still, so worthy of interest.
|
Fairly useful Flat performer for Joseph O'Brien and standout effort for this yard when seventh of 11 at Carlisle (17f) in February. Ran poorly at Newcastle last time, so others make more appeal.
|
Unpromising in points and low-key start under Rules, though he has shown a bit more on last two outings. Mark demands improvement.
|
Won 3 times in 2021/22 season. Has found life a lot harder since but he ran a bit better back from wind surgery on last completed start and is dangerously well handicapped.
|
Ran best race when second at Uttoxeter (15.8f) in October and likely to have been placed (unseated rider last) over same C&D a fortnight later. Below form both subsequent starts and has a bit to prove.
|
Little show in bumpers and just modest form so far over hurdles. Needs to improve for the longer trip.
|
Fair hurdler/chaser in Ireland at his best but has shown little for present connections.
|
Yet to score over hurdles but arrives on the back of a respectable fifth in first-time cheekpieces at Newcastle 18 days ago. Claims if he can build on that.
|
Poor in bumpers and no better so far over hurdles, albeit offering a bit more encouragement when fifth in a novice at this course last month. Step up in trip should help on handicap debut.

Forecasts
Lord Caprio (7/2), Just Call Me Al (11/2), Bushmill Boy (13/2), Chancer Dancer (9/1), Royal Mer (10/1), Sea Prince (10/1), Female Approach (11/1), Methusalar (11/1), Shantou's Temple (14/1), Blame Rose (18/1), Miss Blennerhasset (18/1), Turkey And Ham (22/1), Comeonrita (22/1), Sight Nor Seen (28/1), Ebendi (40/1), Mactavish (40/1)
LORD CAPRIO stayed well on the Flat and finished to good effect over 2m here last time, so he might be able to up his game trying this distance for the first time. Chancer Dancer is open to improvement and looks a threat, while market support for Female Approach would look significant.
