Attention All²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Nathan Moscrop| T: R Menzies| OR: 98| CD

4/1

Debut hurdles winner at this course but has failed to reproduce it. Quiet start to life over fences at Carlisle 20 days ago but might do better upped in trip.

Form: 312P-55

En Meme Temps^p,t⁴⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 11-11| J: Sam Coltherd| T: S Corbett| OR: 95| D

4/1

Belatedly hit the target over fences when landing a heavy-ground 2½m Hexham handicap in March. Reappearance second over the same C&D was a solid effort and not disgraced here last time.

Form: 3710-25

Carrigeen Castle²⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-10| J: B S Hughes| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 94

7/2

Just poor form over hurdles in Ireland and hasn't fired yet for new yard, acknowledging he showed some aptitude when third in a handicap at Hexham 24 days ago.

Form: 7/P14-83

Torosay²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: S Mulqueen| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 92

10/1

Lightly-raced maiden who progressed with each start over hurdles last term but hasn't taken to chasing as yet.

Form: 6543-0P

Great Raffles²³

Age: 8| Weight: 10-12| J: Emma Smith-Chaston⁽³⁾| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 82

11/2

Dual winner over hurdles who acquitted himself well in defeat in all 4 starts last term. Lacklustre start to chasing at this course last time but might benefit from the experience.

Form: 1/2344-4

Goodoldbill⁴⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 10-7| J: Ross Chapman| T: Mrs J Walton| OR: 77| C

3/1

Sprang a surprise, on second start over fences, when winning 8-runner handicap at this course (good to soft) 44 days ago by neck from Imperial Alex, always holding on. Just 3 lb higher now and must enter calculations.

Form: 76P6-P1

Glenavaddra^t²⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 10-2| J: Jonathon Bewley| T: G Bewley| OR: 45

50/1

Point winner but has shown nothing so far under Rules, including on chasing debut at Hexham 24 days ago.

Form: 1/PPP-0P

Forecasts

Empty Nest (5/2), Goodoldbill (3/1), Carrigeen Castle (7/2), En Meme Temps (4/1), Attention All (4/1), Coolkill (5/1), Great Raffles (11/2), Torosay (10/1), Glenavaddra (50/1)

EMPTY NEST made the odd mistake before rattling home in eye-catching fashion at Catterick last time, so he's worth a chance to put it all together now. Coolkill and Goodoldbill look the main threats.
