Striking Out²⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 12-0| J: David Noonan| T: Henry Oliver| OR: 100

20/1

Cheekpieces on for 1st time, last of 7 in handicap hurdle at Worcester (16f, good, 10/1) 26 days ago. Need to bounce back reverted to fences.

Form: 6224U-7

Seaforth Mancy^b1²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: Dr R D P Newland| OR: 97

16/1

Pulled up in handicap hurdle at Stratford (18.7f, good to soft) 21 days ago. This switch to chasing in first-time blinkers needs to spark major improvement.

Form: 334P-PP

Arbennig^p,t¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: William Featherstone⁽¹⁰⁾| T: Jamie Snowden| OR: 86| CD

5/2

Consistent performer who gained a deserved success in 5-runner handicap chase at this C&D (soft) 19 days ago by 12 lengths from Lonimoss Bareliere. Big shout despite taking a 7 lb hike in the weights.

Form: 46F-341

Chemical Warfare^t³⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Philip Armson⁽³⁾| T: T Collier| OR: 86| D

8/1

Got off the mark over fences at Newcastle in May. 5/1, only sixth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Southwell (15.8f, good to soft) 35 days ago but weighted to go well back chasing now.

Form: 2P5-136

Millies Mite^t²⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 10-9| J: Charlie Hammond| T: K Jewell| OR: 81

20/1

Remains a maiden after 21 runs and pulled up in handicap chase at Worcester (20f, good) 26 days ago. Down in trip. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Form: P363-3P

Gambie Tiep⁷⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-3| J: Liam Harrison| T: B Pauling| OR: 75

6/5

Only poor hurdler/chaser for Sarah-Jayne Davies and needs a big step forward on his yard debut. Thirteen runs since his last win in 2021 too.

Form: 58395P-

Lonimoss Bareliere^t¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-2| J: James Best| T: B R Summers| OR: 74

9/1

Remains a maiden after 21 runs but he posted a respectable 12 lengths second of 5 to Arbennig in handicap chase at this C&D (soft) 19 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up again.

Form: 4255-62

Bandit D'Ainay^p,t⁴⁹

Age: 12| Weight: 10-2| J: Sean Quinlan| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 71

40/1

Last of 7 in handicap chase at Hexham (15.6f, good, 16/1) 49 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Twenty seven runs since his last win in 2019.

Form: 48P35-7

Fair To Dream²¹

Age: 10| Weight: 10-2| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽³⁾| T: S-J Davies| OR: 64

66/1

Remains a maiden after 17 runs. Only sixth of 8 in handicap chase at Stratford (17f, good to soft) 21 days ago so it's very hard to make a case for him from 10 lb out of the handicap.

Form: 2UP-U46

Non-Runners

T: O Greenall & J Guerriero J: Toby Wynne

Forecasts

Gambie Tiep (6/5), Arbennig (5/2), Famoso (7/1), Gouet Des Bruyeres (7/1), Chemical Warfare (8/1), Lonimoss Bareliere (9/1), Twistedfirestarter (10/1), Seaforth Mancy (16/1), Millies Mite (20/1), Striking Out (20/1), Bandit D'Ainay (40/1), Fair To Dream (66/1)

ARBENNIG looked on the top of his game when a wide-margin C&D scorer last time and can defy a 7 lb rise in his current mood at the chief expense of Chemical Warfare, who is weighted to have a big say now back chasing for the first time since winning at Newcastle. In-form maiden Famoso is another who should go well on the back of his good Stratford second.
