Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Ben Bromley⁽⁵⁾| T: S R B Crawford| OR: 121

6/5

Fair Irish hurdler. Scored at Downpatrick in May and faced a stiff task in Grade 3 at Down Royal (16.9f, soft) 20 days ago. Leading form claims back in these much calmer waters.

Form: 4353-17

The Kalooki Kid²²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Danny McMenamin| T: N G Richards

7/2

9/2, posted an encouraging third of 12 in novice hurdle at this course (15.6f, good to soft) on hurdles bow 22 days ago. Up in trip. Can improve so he's in the mix.

Form: 237-3

Age: 5| Weight: 10-7| J: S Mulqueen| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell

28/1

22/1, seventh of 17 in bumper at Warwick on NH debut 7 months ago on sole run for Ian Williams. This Walk In The Park mare is much respected on her hurdles/yard debut.

250/1

250/1

Won a point in May but hooded when only tenth of 12 in bumper at Carlisle (17.2f, soft) on NH debut 25 days ago. Makes hurdles debut with more needed.

Form: 53-10

Lavida Adiva⁵³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-6| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: Ruth Jefferson

5/1

Winning pointer who shaped well when third of 7 in novice hurdle at Kelso (20.9f, soft) 53 days ago. Should progress. Shortlisted.

Forecasts

Ottizzini (6/5), Quaresome (10/3), The Kalooki Kid (7/2), Lavida Adiva (5/1), Meetmeinthemorning (12/1), Dorcas Road (28/1), She Won't Mind (250/1), Icouldn'tpassherby (250/1)

Irish challenger OTTIZZINI was flying too high when seventh in a Down Royal Grade 3 last time but holds much the best form and can quickly resume winning ways. Both The Kalooki Kid and Lavida Adiva have better days ahead of them and appeal as the duo to chase home Stuart Crawford's fairly useful mare in that order.
