Libberty Hunter²⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 12-2| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams| OR: 122| BF| D

5/2

£160,000 purchase following pair of bumper victories and opened account over hurdles at Chepstow in January. Likely he'd of won but for taking heavy fall 3 out on chase debut at that venue 25 days ago and he's well worth another chance.

Form: 6/2315-F

Forget The Way⁴⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: Tom Cannon| T: A King| OR: 109| D

9/2

Fair and consistent winning hurdler who produced a promising first effort over fences (jumped soundly) when second of 6 at Huntingdon (16.5f) 44 days ago. In good hands and no surprise to see him do better in this sphere.

Form: 421232

The Plimsoll Line³³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Lorcan Williams| T: J Scott| OR: 106| D

11/2

2m maiden winner who ran well when runner-up at Newton Abbot (18.5f) in May. Fairly low-key efforts since however, never a threat when sixth on chase debut at Taunton (18f) last month. This should reveal more.

Form: P5-2P66

Non Stop³³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Brendan Powell| T: J Tizzard| OR: 111| D

7/4

Fair Flat/hurdles winner who showed benefit of his chase debut effort when second of 8 in novice handicap company at Taunton (18f) 33 days ago, pulling clear with a next-time-out winner. Of interest dropped back in trip.

Form: 3174-52

Filanderer³⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-3| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: H Morrison| OR: 95| D

13/2

Warwick bumper winner who hasn't progressed over hurdles, well held in big-field Exeter handicap (16.7f) on his latest start 39 days ago. That was his first start for 6 months but he does need to settle better now sent over fences.

Form: 6774-40

Forecasts

Non Stop (7/4), Libberty Hunter (5/2), Aggagio (11/4), Forget The Way (9/2), The Plimsoll Line (11/2), Filanderer (13/2)

NON STOP built on his chase debut effort when pulling clear with a next-time-out winner at Taunton 33 days ago and, eased back in trip, he gets the nod to come out on top operating from a 1 lb higher mark. Liberty Hunter looked the likely winner prior to falling 3 out at Chepstow and he's a threat if over those exertions. Forget The Way is another likely improver to consider.
