Cocardier^p¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: Callum Pritchard⁽⁷⁾| T: A E Jones

33/1

Well held in 2 bumpers and looks one for handicaps after this judged on hurdling exploits so far.

Form: 78-35

Goonhilly⁵¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Tristan Durrell⁽³⁾| T: D Skelton| OR: 112

10/11

Fairly useful form in a couple of bumpers and has shown similar form in this sphere, albeit his latest effort in a maiden at Taunton was sub-par (possibly found race coming too soon). Fancied to be firmly in the mix in what looks a decidedly weak event.

Form: 24-3F25

Just Four Fame⁶⁵⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: Harry Bannister| T: David Dennis

12/1

Fame And Glory gelding who went very much like a stayer when third of 10 in bumper at Aintree (17f, good) back in May 2022, finding the test inadequate. Absent since so watching brief advised on hurdles bow.

Form: 22/3-

Tedley²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Jordan Nailor| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 116| BF

5/4

Fairly useful maiden hurdler who comes here on the back of a good second of 8 in maiden at Ffos Las (20f, heavy) earlier this month. Back down in trip and there's every chance he can go one better.

Forecasts

Goonhilly (10/11), Tedley (5/4), Just Four Fame (12/1), Cocardier (33/1), Admiral Fitz (50/1), Meraki Mist (66/1)

A match on paper between TEDLEY and Goonhilly, with the former getting the vote arriving on the back of a good second at Ffos Las earlier in the month. Dan Skelton's charge would be a major threat if reproducing his Aintree effort, while Just Four Fame can fill out third making his hurdling debut returning from 21 months on the sidelines.
