Baileys Derbyday^p⁶³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-10| J: J M Quinlan| T: Miss A Murphy| OR: 110WS

22/1

Fair 14f winner on Flat who got off the mark over hurdles in 2m maiden here in June. Yet to build on that and his mark looks high.

Form: 58176

Heross Du Seuil^p¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Finn Lambert⁽⁵⁾| T: R Potter| OR: 109| D

11/8

Easily best effort for this stable when landing an 8-runner handicap at Uttoxeter a fortnight ago. Remains well treated on old form and makes plenty of appeal again.

Form: 45PP-71

Could Be Trouble^p,t¹²⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-8| J: Theo Gillard| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 108| D

5/1

Fairly useful hurdler who wasn't disgraced at Cartmel when last seen four months ago. Cheekpieces back on and mark is becoming lenient.

Form: F4455-5

Roll With It^t1⁴⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: James Bowen| T: R Spencer| OR: 106

5/1

Upped his game wrong when scoring at Market Rasen in July and, for all that he failed to back it up, he remains with potential now tongue tied on handicap debut.

Form: 326/016

Redbridge Rambler³³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: S Bowen| T: M Keighley| OR: 103| BF

7/2

Promise in bumpers and sound start to hurdles career when third of 11 at Uttoxeter in May. Excuses both starts since (might have needed the run at Stratford latest), so not one to write off switched to handicaps.

Form: 362-346

She's A Rocca^p1⁴³

Age: 8| Weight: 10-2| J: Sean Quinlan| T: N G Richards| OR: 87| C

9/1

Hasn't fired since winning here last summer but may strip fitter for her recent return at Bangor. Cheekpieces tried, so not without hope despite being 1 lb wrong at the weights.

Form: 35176-8

Forecasts

Heross Du Seuil (11/8), Redbridge Rambler (7/2), Could Be Trouble (5/1), Roll With It (5/1), Dom Perry (5/1), Throne Hall (13/2), She's A Rocca (9/1), London Eye (10/1), Baileys Derbyday (22/1)

HEROSS DU SEUIL bounced back to capitalise on a lenient mark at Uttoxeter and has plenty of handicapping scope based on past efforts, so he's preferred to the lightly-raced Dom Perry, who could return to form after a break. Throne Hall is another one to consider.
