Off time: 17:46 | Winning time: 6m 21.22s

Blazing Court^p⁷⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Harry Atkins⁽⁸⁾| T: M Keighley| OR: 98

17/2

16/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, second of 11 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (19.9f, good to soft) 76 days ago. Up in trip. Others more persuasive.

Form: 559P-52

Royal Max⁶⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-13| J: Lewis Dobb| T: C & A Pogson| OR: 97

50/1

In top hands but hasn't achieved any better than modest form in 2 bumpers/over hurdles. Fourth on the Flat 2 months ago and it's still early days for him in this discipline.

Form: 0/654-73

Catuaba¹²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Cian Chester⁽¹⁰⁾| T: C E Longsdon| OR: 96| BF| D

7/2

Won at Warwick in May. Fell in handicap hurdle (11/10) at Huntingdon (25f, good) 127 days ago, going off too hard. Remains with plenty of potential.

Form: 5029-1F

Haveyougotmymoney^p²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Dylan Johnston| T: Paul Robson| OR: 91

7/2

Encouraging return from a break recently, again second at Hexham last time. Looks capable of defying this mark and is worth a chance to go one better.

Form: 54-2932

Let It Shine³⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Conner McCann⁽⁵⁾| T: M Scudamore| OR: 86

6/1

Modest form in a trio of starts over hurdles last season, but more promising signs lately and longer trip should suit.

Form: 679-634

Betty's Belle^p³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Ellis Collier⁽³⁾| T: Tracey Leeson| OR: 84

40/1

Thirteen runs since last win in 2021. First run since leaving Ben Pauling when eighth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Worcester (23f, good to soft, 33/1) 30 days ago. Others make more appeal.

Form: 552248

Fantomas^p⁸⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-11| J: James Turner⁽⁸⁾| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 81| D

10/3

Fortunate to score over fences at Uttoxeter (3m) in September and hasn't really threatened back over hurdles since his next outing, acknowledging his latest fourth at Worcester was a respectable effort. Back from a break with stable in excellent form.

Form: 464-664

Barely Famous^p,t³

Age: 7| Weight: 10-10| J: Gearoid Harney⁽³⁾| T: R Potter| OR: 80| CD

11/2

Dual hurdles winner this time last year for this yard but has made a discouraging start to her chasing career this summer. Return to this sphere could spark a revival.

Form: 65547P

Oneway Express^p³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-6| J: Luke Scott| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 76

22/1

First form when third of 10 in handicap at Bangor (23f, good) a couple of months ago but failed to back it up at Worcester last time.

Form: 3-86030

Moirai^p²³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-3| J: Dylan Whelan⁽³⁾| T: Miss A Murphy| OR: 77

20/1

Has offered little thus far, including both starts in handicaps, so hard to make a compelling case for.

Form: 57-4765

Ulysses^v⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 10-2| J: Daire Davis⁽³⁾| T: D Shaw| OR: 70

50/1

Unreliable type who comes here out of form.

Form: 089-590

Forecasts

Fantomas (10/3), Haveyougotmymoney (7/2), Catuaba (7/2), Barely Famous (11/2), Let It Shine (6/1), Blazing Court (17/2), Milanese Rose (14/1), Racing Spirit (16/1), Moirai (20/1), Oneway Express (22/1), Claude Almighty (25/1), Betty's Belle (40/1), Royal Max (50/1), Ulysses (50/1)

HAVEYOUGOTMYMONEY found only one too good again last time and is worth chancing to go one better for all that this looks quite competitive. The unexposed Catuaba is a big danger if he gets his own way in front and Let It Shine can't be ruled out.
