Age: 5|  Weight: 11-11| J: B S Hughes| T: A W Carroll| OR:  91
Modest handicapper on Flat (stays 10f) and similar form over hurdles, although recent Hereford fourth was creditable and Brian Hughes takes over in the saddle now.

Fair maiden hurdler for Amy Murphy. Off 7 months when respectable third on Fakenham stable debut in March but disappointing when pulled up at Huntingdon (11/8) 17 days later. Still early days for this top yard.

Maiden who has run better with a tongue tie added to her visor the last twice, finishing second of 8 over 18.5f at Stratford latest. Likely to be competitive again.

No More Bolero62
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-7| J: Brendan Powell| T: D G Bridgwater| OR:  87WS
Fairly useful Flat winner in Germany. Hinted at promise on the first of 3 starts over hurdles in February/March. Has had wind surgery ahead of this switch to a handicap from a mark which could be lenient judged on Flat ability.

Secret Saucet15
Age: 4|  Weight: 11-7| J: Benjamin Poste| T: H Dickin| OR:  93
Fair performer on the Flat in Ireland and best effort over hurdles when runner-up in a Hereford novice in January. However, hasn't managed to build on that since, including well held in 2 handicaps this spring.

No promise in bumpers. Showed more than previously in this sphere when fourth in a juvenile at Hereford last month but had the run of things. Unseated first on handicap debut since.

Forecasts

Symbolic Spirit (11/4), No More Bolero (4/1), City Roller (5/1), Thurley (6/1), Record Art (8/1), Come To Pass (8/1), Dragonball Prince (10/1), Crews Pitch (14/1), Secret Sauce (25/1), My Mate Polly (33/1), Delightful Guest (66/1)

Verdict

A wind operation and a sounder surface are a couple of reasons why pretty useful German Flat performer NO MORE BOLERO might step up on his previous hurdle efforts now handicapping for the first time. Recent Stratford runner-up City Roller should get involved again, while Symbolic Spirit disappointed when favourite at Huntingdon last time but is the sort who could click for Dan Skelton before too long.
