Carrigeen Castle27
Age: 7|  Weight: 12-0| J: Sean Quinlan| T: Micky Hammond| OR:  98
Just poor form over hurdles in Ireland and likely needed the run on first outing for new yard at Kelso 27 days ago. Ex-pointer who may do better in this sphere, so not a forlorn hope.

Just Hannah29
Age: 6|  Weight: 10-8| J: J Kington| T: D Brooke| OR:  78
Point winner who has yet to click for current yard and didn't offer much on her previous try at chasing. Mark is potentially lenient, however.

Bebside Banter22
Age: 6|  Weight: 10-7| J: Danny McMenamin| T: C Grant| OR:  77| CD
17/2, career best when winning 7-runner handicap chase at this C&D (heavy) on debut over fences 22 days ago, kept up to work. Should be difficult to beat again in a weak race.

Heeztheboy212
Age: 6|  Weight: 10-2| J: Craig Nichol| T: Miss P Robson| OR:  70
Hasn't offered a great deal in a bumper/over hurdles to date but makes a quick switch to the larger obstacles and has a basement mark, so worth a market check after 7 months off.

Tumbling Dicep9
Age: 8|  Weight: 10-2| J: Alan Doyle(5)| T: W Young Jnr| OR:  69
Little impact since scoring over fences back in January 2022 and little encouragement over hurdles at Kelso 9 days ago. Big ask from out of the weights.

Forecasts

Bebside Banter (8/11), Carrigeen Castle (7/2), Just Hannah (7/1), Heeztheboy (8/1), Tumbling Dice (14/1)

Verdict

BEBSIDE BANTER had something to spare when successful over C&D 22 days ago and looks an obvious choice to follow up with the others all having something to prove. Chasing-debutant Carrigeen Castle is probably the main danger.
