Off time: 13:37 | Winning time: 4m 6.23s

Foxey⁴²

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: S Bowen| T: O Murphy| OR: 98

9/2

Flat-bred gelding who got off the mark over hurdles at Newton Abbot (18.5f). Good second of 7 in handicap chase at Huntingdon (19.9f, good to soft) on debut over fences 42 days ago. Merits serious consideration.

Form: P34/512

Hatos^t⁴¹

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: A J Honeyball| OR: 98| D

11/4

Made a winning start over hurdles here in January 2022 but has been rather underwhelming since, including on reappearance when seventh at Chepstow. Goes chasing with something to prove.

Form: 53F45-7

Erigmoor²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: C Gethings| T: S Edmunds| OR: 96

9/2

Displayed a fair level of ability over hurdles last season, but has made a discouraging start to life over fences in a pair of Huntingdon handicaps. Hard to warm to.

Form: 5524-P4

Tommy Dillion²⁴⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽³⁾| T: R Rowe| OR: 86| CD

17/2

Got off the mark in hurdle at Lingfield in December but hung badly left when collared run-in when third at Plumpton in April Returns for his cahsing bow and can't be dismissed.

Form: 714U43-

Wonderweasle³³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Alan Johns| T: Tim Vaughan| OR: 86

9/1

Lightly-raced maiden hurdler who came in a well-held fifth of 8 in handicap chase at Musselburgh (15.8f, good to soft) on debut over fences 33 days ago. Remains open to improvement.

Form: 3-545

Executive Pool^b¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Caoilin Quinn⁽³⁾| T: G & J Moore| OR: 89| D

14/1

Fair Flat winner who got off the mark in this sphere in 2m Hereford handicap in April. Cheekpieces tried when pulled up at Lingfield last time so has a bit to prove now sent over fences.

Form: 301-58P

Robins Field^t¹¹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-8| J: Benjamin Poste| T: H Dickin| OR: 78

6/1

Runner-up twice in the spring but he came in a below-par fifth over C&D 11 days ago. Handily weighted if back on his A-game.

Form: P42-245

Millies Mite^t²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 10-7| J: Tom Cannon| T: K Jewell| OR: 77

11/1

Long-standing maiden who wasn't disgraced when third in handicap at Fakenham (2m) 20 days ago. Others appeal more for win purposes.

Form: 63-3P33

Clondaw Robin^p²⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 10-2| J: James Best| T: A Irvine| OR: 69

25/1

It's now twenty runs since his last win in 2019. Off 6 months before fading fifth of 9 in handicap hurdle at this C&D (good to soft) 20 days ago. No forlorn hope back chasing.

Form: 5P3P-65

Forecasts

Hatos (11/4), Foxey (9/2), Erigmoor (9/2), Robins Field (6/1), Tommy Dillion (17/2), Wonderweasle (9/1), Millies Mite (11/1), Executive Pool (14/1), Clondaw Robin (25/1)

FOXEY made a promising start over fences when runner-up at Huntingdon and can build on it to go one better in a race where several arrive with question marks against them. Robins Field could emerge as the chief threat at these weights if shrugging off a lesser effort over C&D, with Millies Mite and Clondaw Robin appealing as the pick for minor honours.
