Off time: 16:38 | Winning time: 4m 20.27s

Wicklow Flyer^p⁵⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Tom Midgley| T: J S Wainwright| OR: 98

50/1

Winner of a Bellewstown claimer on final start for Gordon Elliott last August but she has offered precious little since, including for current connections.

Form: 10P-P89

Ask Bob^h¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Dylan Johnston⁽³⁾| T: J C McConnell| OR: 96

6/1

100/1, seventh of 14 in novice hurdle at Kilbeggan (16f, good to soft) 14 days ago. Back up in trip for his handicap hurdle debut. Should have more to offer in this sphere. Check the betting.

Form: 06700-7

Cuzco Du Mathan^v1⁵⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: Leah Noreci⁽¹⁰⁾| T: James Moffatt| OR: 95

11/1

Fairly useful hurdler/chaser in France but hasn't shown much in a handful of appearances for present yard, again safely held over this C&D in June. Visor replaces cheekpieces now.

Form: 6P0-548

Pateen^t,v⁷

Age: 11| Weight: 11-7| J: Aaron Anderson| T: J Bedi| OR: 91| CD

4/1

Resumed winning ways at Hexham (16.2f) in May and has remained in good order since, sixth of 14 at Market Rasen last time. This C&D scorer can give another good account.

Form: 2-18526

For Three⁵⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 11-2| J: Joshua Thompson⁽⁷⁾| T: M Weatherer| OR: 86

16/1

Successful twice for James Ewart in summer of 2021. Largely below par since joining this yard so others make more appeal.

Form: 6443-70

Solway Molly⁴¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: P W Wadge| T: Miss L Harrison| OR: 84

13/2

Modest bumper winner who offered more than previously over hurdles when runner-up at Perth (16.2f) 41 days ago. Less exposed than most and one to consider back up in trip.

Form: 7/33P-62

Edmond Dantes^p,t⁶²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-13| J: Theo Gillard| T: F P Murtagh| OR: 83

18/1

Back on track after a wind op when second of 10 in handicap hurdle at Hexham (16.2f, good) 62 days ago. Must enter calculations nudged up 1 lb.

Form: 0U/88-62

Cast In Grey²²

Age: 9| Weight: 10-4| J: Chris Ward| T: G Hanmer| OR: 74

25/1

Modest maiden hurdler for Graeme McPherson. Off 25 months before coming in ninth of ten in handicap hurdle at Bangor (23f, good) 22 days ago. Needs to show a lot more.

Form: 77647/9

Coeur Aimant^p⁴⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 10-4| J: Conor Rabbitt⁽³⁾| T: Lizzie Quinlan| OR: 74

5/4

Off 12 months/had breathing op before posting good second for her new yard (formerly with Barbara Butterworth) when second of 8 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (15.8f, heavy) 46 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Player off an unchanged mark.

Form: P55/02-2

Big Arthur¹⁰⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: Edward Austin| T: H Graham & G Rutherford| OR: 67

40/1

Pulled up in handicap hurdle at Kelso (20.9f) 108 days ago. This poor maiden has lots on her plate from 5 lb out of the handicap on her return.

Form: P/68P9-P

Forecasts

Coeur Aimant (5/4), Pateen (4/1), Rogue Mission (4/1), Ask Bob (6/1), Solway Molly (13/2), Time For Joy (10/1), Cuzco Du Mathan (11/1), For Three (16/1), Edmond Dantes (18/1), Cast In Grey (25/1), Big Arthur (40/1), Wicklow Flyer (50/1)

Lots of these arrive with a question mark against them so this looks a good opportunity for COEUR AIMANT to build on his promising debut Uttoxeter second for Lizzie Quinlan and get off the mark. Edmond Dantes is feared most having got back on track when runner-up at Hexham, with unexposed duo Solway Molly and Ask Bob also in the mix.
