Off time: 13:10 | Winning time: 6m 50.3s

Star Flyer²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: James Bowen| T: W Greatrex| OR: 98

5/2

Reached the frame in 2 bumpers and fair form at best over hurdles. Chaser on looks and duly offered something to work on switched to fences after 6 months off when third at Huntingdon. Should improve on that and considered.

Form: 8334-53

Sadler's Bay²²

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: J J Burke| T: T R Gretton| OR: 98

7/4

Saddle slipped when an unlucky third in handicap hurdle at Warwick (25f, good to soft) in May and decent start over fences when fourth at Plumpton on return 3 weeks ago. Entitled to come on for that.

Form: 6045-34

Ali Star Bert²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: J M Quinlan| T: S A Harris| OR: 92| D

9/2

Landed a gamble on just his second start over fences at Uttoxeter and impressive when following up at Chepstow (26.2f, good to soft) in February. Mixed record since, however, below form sixth of 18 in handicap chase at Warwick (25.4f, heavy) 21 days ago.

Form: 23-2P36

Eurkash^p1²⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 10-11| J: Liam Harrison| T: P R Webber| OR: 81

7/1

Only one win from 23 starts (on his second try over fences) but was only just denied by a match-fit rival at Warwick on return 3 weeks ago. Does have a rather inconsistent profile of late but still has to be taken seriously in first-time headgear.

Form: 753F3-2

Rolling Clouds^p1²⁶⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-6| J: James Best| T: M Keighley| OR: 76

5/1

Made frame all 5 starts in points but well held in maiden/novice hurdles and fared no better (despite strength in the betting) switched to fences/handicaps last 2 starts. Off 8 months. Headgear on.

Form: 2/09045-

Moroval^p²³⁸

Age: 12| Weight: 10-2| J: James Turner⁽⁷⁾| T: Tracey Leeson| OR: 70| CD

66/1

Sprang a major surprise when 100/1 winner of this race last year off 4 lb lower but well held next 3 starts. Off 7 months and 2 lb out of the handicap.

Form: 9P1P5P-

Weight: 11-11| Age: 7

The Skiffle King²¹⁴

Enforcement²¹

Weight: 10-2| Age: 8

Forecasts

Sadler's Bay (7/4), Star Flyer (5/2), Auditoria (11/4), Ali Star Bert (9/2), Rolling Clouds (5/1), Eurkash (7/1), Bring The Action (7/1), The Skiffle King (14/1), Enforcement (25/1), Moroval (66/1)

It could be worth chancing BRING THE ACTION, who should strip fitter for his return and is potentially on a good mark back in this sphere. Star Flyer made a decent start over fences when third at Huntingdon and rates a big threat with improvement likely, with Eurkash another to consider having only been just denied on his comeback at Warwick.
