Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: B S Hughes| T: R Menzies| OR: 100| C| D

11/4

Scored 3 times over hurdles for Olly Murphy in 2021. Still a maiden after 7 attempts over fences but he hasn't been with this yard for long and was caught too far back at Cartmel last time. Dropped another 4 lb and one to note in the betting.

Form: 4P35-56

Go Fox^h¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-2| J: Bryony Le Clerc| T: N B King| OR: 88

5/2

Attracted support and made the most of a reduced mark when scoring comfortably at Fakenham last time. Remains well handicapped on old form, so expected to go well again.

Form: 9P04-41

Pleasure Garden³³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: Tom Cannon| T: K Jewell| OR: 85| D

7/2

Fair 4-time winner at up to 2m on the Flat for Sir Mark Prescott. Winning start over fences at Plumpton in April and backed it up with a solid showing at Fontwell last month. Likely to be in the shake-up once again.

Form: P4/591-2

Martalmix'jac^h²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: Alex Edwards| T: Mrs M Rowley| OR: 83

6/1

Modest maiden hurdler who failed to up his game for a switch to chasing at Worcester last time. Might improve for that experience, however.

Form: P52F6-5

Peckinpah⁵⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-11| J: Charlie Hammond| T: B R Summers| OR: 83

11/1

Has gone backwards from his chasing debut and offered little when pulled up here last time. Plenty to prove.

Form: 0P/54FP-

Famoso^t¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 10-6| J: R Patrick| T: M Sheppard| OR: 78

17/2

Yet to win a race of any description and fared no better for a switch of stables at Worcester recently. Others are more persuasive.

Form: 352P-76

Harry Hazard^p²²

Age: 9| Weight: 10-2| J: Philip Armson⁽³⁾| T: A Irvine| OR: 70

33/1

Maiden jumper who has failed to beat a rival on his last 3 starts, so hard to make a case for.

Form: 573/4-03

Fair To Dream²⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 10-2| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽³⁾| T: S-J Davies| OR: 69

40/1

Maiden pointer who has little form under Rules.

Form: 22UP-U4

Forecasts

Go Fox (5/2), Restandbethankful (11/4), Pleasure Garden (7/2), Jet Of Dreams (11/2), Martalmix'jac (6/1), Famoso (17/2), Peckinpah (11/1), Harry Hazard (33/1), Fair To Dream (40/1)

JET OF DREAMS shaped with encouragement over hurdles and has been allotted a generous opening mark for one that won a point easily, so he boasts strong claims of making a winning chasing debut. Go Fox is of obvious interest having bounced back to score at Fakenham and Restandbethankful could return to top form with Brian Hughes back up.
