Our Scholar⁴³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Dylan Hogan| T: Jack Jones| OR: 63| D

9/4

Fair operator on the Flat for Johnny Murtagh but has thrived over hurdles for this yard, completing a hat-trick at this course 43 days ago, so obvious player returning to this sphere off a potentially lenient mark.

Form: 001385-

Scotch Mist³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Frederick Larson⁽³⁾| T: Miss J Feilden| OR: 61

12/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 17/2, respectable fifth of 9 in handicap at Leicester (11.8f, soft) 35 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Makes tapeta debut. Can feature if she gets the longer distance.

50/1

First run since leaving Chris Dwyer when fifth of 6 in handicap at Nottingham (14f, good to firm, 9/1) 69 days ago. Worth a market check back from a break.

Form: 34/440-5

10/3

Below form fourth of 10 in handicap (10/1) at Nottingham (16f, heavy) 34 days ago. Likely to bounce back quickly and can't be dismissed.

11/4

Cheekpieces on for 1st time, sixth of 7 in handicap at Chester (12.3f, heavy, 8/1) 31 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Probably unsuited by conditions last time and makes plenty of appeal returned to tapeta.

Form: 45-5626

Forecasts

Our Scholar (9/4), Zivaniya (11/4), Wannabe Brave (10/3), Doublethetrouble (11/2), Scotch Mist (12/1), Kitten's Dream (16/1), Social City (20/1), Sehayli (25/1), London Eye (50/1), Trinidad Calypso (80/1)

DOUBLETHETROUBLE is on a much-reduced mark and shaped as if back in form when fourth at this course 9 days ago so, back up in trip, he's worth chancing. Zivaniya should benefit from a return to tapeta and ranks as the main threat ahead of Our Scholar, who has landed a hat-trick over hurdles recently.
