5/6

Mahler gelding who went unbeaten in points and produced a promising enough Rules debut when second in an Aintree bumper during the spring. Perfect start over hurdles when landing a 7-runner novice (21f, soft) here on return last month and further progress is likely.

Form: 11-21

Chance The Robin¹⁸²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Dylan Johnston⁽⁷⁾| T: J C McConnell| D

13/2

Did little wrong in bumpers and wasn't overly extended when making a winning debut in this sphere at Hexham (23.3f, good to soft) in May. Open to improvement for respected Irish yard and should make his presence felt.

Form: 2/212-1

Charlie Uberalles⁴¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Danny McMenamin| T: Mrs Dianne Sayer| OR: 121

6/1

Made the frame all 3 starts in this sphere and scored twice over fences in 2022. However, entitled to need the run following a 14-month absence and forecast slow surface poses a question (all 6 runs under Rules have been on good ground).

Glory Hights²³⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Tom Midgley⁽³⁾| T: C Grant

250/1

Little impact in a bumper/pair of novice hurdles and he's probably more one for handicaps in due course.

Form: 865-

Kerryhill²⁰³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: B S Hughes| T: Ruth Jefferson

5/2

Fetched £115,000 after winning the second of his 2 starts in Irish maiden points. Interesting to see what the market makes of this 5-y-o ahead of his Rules debut.

Form: 21-

Forecasts

Cadell (5/6), Kerryhill (5/2), Charlie Uberalles (6/1), Chance The Robin (13/2), Glory Hights (250/1)

CADELL created a good impression when making a winning hurdles debut here and, with the promise of better to come, he is taken to maintain his 100% record in this sphere. Chance The Robin also did the job well on his first start over timber and is the clear main danger ahead of point-winner Kerryhill.
