15/8

Fair maiden on the Flat who got off the mark at only the second attempt in this sphere in 2m Stratford juvenile earlier in the month. Inexperience still evident switched to a handicap at Bangor last week, too free and also making mistakes. Cheekpieces removed.

Form: 315

2/1

Fair maiden on the Flat, making jumps debut. First run since leaving Jamie Osborne when sixth of 8 in handicap at Sandown (14f, heavy) 26 days ago. Hood fitted and stamina no concern in this discipline.

12/1

Half-brother to numerous winners on Flat, including very smart winner up to 1¼m Magic Artist (by Iffraaj). Dam unraced. Debut in any code.

15/2

Well held in Haydock maiden on sole start on Flat 11 months ago. Makes hurdles debut and sure to be well prepared for this.

Form:

Imenso²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Sean Quinlan| T: F P Murtagh

150/1

Modest form at best on Flat, unproven beyond sprint trips, well held upped in trip in handicaps both starts in 2023. Stamina an obvious concern in this sphere.

Form:

Carmentis²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 10-5| J: R P McLernon| T: B Haslam

66/1

Little worthwhile form in 7 attempts on level (between 5f-8f) and didn't show much on recent hurdles bow.

Form: 6

Majestic Jameela²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 10-5| J: C Gethings| T: S Edmunds| OR: 92| BF

10/3

Modest performer on Flat but well supported when good second of 8 in Aintree juvenile (16.5f) on hurdles debut in June. Sets the standard on that run though was disappointing at Uttoxeter latest.

Form: 23
