Little Big Kev^t1⁶⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Finn Lambert⁽³⁾| T: R T PhillipsWS

7/2

Runner-up on his only start in points and made an encouraging start under Rules when third at Huntingdon a couple of months ago. That's the best piece of form on offer and he can put his experience to good use in a first-time tongue tie.

Form: 23-

Little Watson

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N & W Twiston-Davies

7/2

£8,000 3-y-o, Elusive Pimpernel gelding. Dam (h104), lightly raced over hurdles, 1¼m winner on Flat, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler (stayed 2½m) Cool Baranca. Makes plenty of appeal on paper.

Belle Montrose^t¹¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: Adam Wedge| T: S Drinkwater

18/1

£28,000 buy after finishing runner-up on her sole start in Irish points (Apr 2). Hasn't shown enough under Rules to make him of serious interest here, though.

Form: 2/87-

Hola Hermosa⁶³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: J J Burke| T: F O'Brien| BF

22/1

From a good family but showed next to nothing at Huntingdon couple of months ago. Needs to have benefited greatly for that experience.

Lynda's Pet⁴⁴¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: Charlie Hammond| T: M Young

80/1

Notnowcato mare. Half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/chaser Pauls Hill and fairly useful hurdler Starsky. Unplaced sole start in Irish points (Mar 2023).

Form: 6/

Chattamento⁴⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-5| J: Joshua Bryan| T: G NichollsWS

4/1

Stepped up on her debut and shaped better than the result when fourth at Fakenham (made effort out wide) last time. Could take another step forward.

Form: 94-

Flighttothestars^t1¹⁵¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-5| J: K Brogan| T: L Horsfall

12/1

Showed something on debut but failed to back it up at Newbury 5 months ago. Returns with something to prove.

Form: 40-

Kiss Me Moon⁵⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-5| J: Isabel Williams⁽³⁾| T: Evan Williams

17/2

Ran to only a poor level in a valuable, big-field Newbury on debut but may make more of an impact in this less-competitive environment.

Form: 0-

Thewaitingisover

Age: 4| Weight: 10-5| J: G Sheehan| T: Jamie Snowden

16/5

Australia filly. Dam (h150) 2m-2½m hurdle winner (stayed 3m), also smart 12.5f/13f winner who stayed 17f on Flat. One to note on debut.

Form:

Forecasts

Thewaitingisover (16/5), Little Watson (7/2), Little Big Kev (7/2), Chattamento (4/1), Kiss Me Moon (17/2), Flighttothestars (12/1), Belle Montrose (18/1), Hola Hermosa (22/1), Lynda's Pet (80/1)

LITTLE BIG KEV is the form pick and has an experience edge over Thewaitingisover and Little Watson, a pair of newcomers who both make appeal on paper, so the first named looks the way to go in an interesting bumper.
