Earth Cry^t²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 99

9/4

Creditable second of 13 in handicap hurdle (7/2) at Uttoxeter (19.9f, good to soft) 25 days ago. Should go well again.

Form: 45/522-2

Blow Your Horn^t,p¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-13| J: C J Todd| T: Ian Williams| OR: 98

10/3

Fairly useful stayer on the Flat and is shaping up well now, producing his best effort in this sphere when second in a handicap at Warwick (travelled strongly) last time. Capable of going one better.

Form: 0765-2

Cuban Court^t,p1³¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: J M Quinlan| T: N B King| OR: 91| C

6/1

Patchy record over hurdles so far and again failed to fire at Plumpton last time. Becoming well treated and cheekpieces could perk him up.

Form: 4P28-75

Tip Top Tonto^b³⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-5| J: Jack Tudor| T: J L Flint| OR: 90

9/1

Bounced back to his best to register a first success at Fakenham in April and wasn't disgraced there on final outing for Dr Richard Newland & Jamie Insole last time. New yard puts blinkers back on. Interesting.

Form: 62541-4

No Mean Feat³⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: Aaron Anderson⁽⁵⁾| T: S Hodgson| OR: 86

40/1

Pulled up sole start in points and just poor form over hurdles. Saddle slipped on debut for this yard but he has a lot to prove.

Form: 3P00P-P

Dreadpoetssociety³⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-7| J: Rex Dingle| T: C Gordon| OR: 78

7/1

Well held in bumpers/hurdles and fared no better for a switch to handicaps at this course last time. Hard to make a solid case for.

Form: 7/0P56-7

Sullivan Bay^p,t³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Brendan Powell| T: Miss H C Knight| OR: 75WS

22/1

Pulled up in a juvenile hurdle at the end of 2023. Did win on AW Flat for Gary Brown in January but well held since joining this yard. Has had a breathing operation.

Form: P7-0P

Solid Fuel^h¹⁹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: James Best| T: Joanne Thomason-Murphy| OR: 68

40/1

Doesn't appear to retain much ability.

Seemingly of little account.

Forecasts

Earth Cry (9/4), Blow Your Horn (10/3), Cuban Court (6/1), Grain Of Hope (13/2), Dreadpoetssociety (7/1), Tip Top Tonto (9/1), Sullivan Bay (22/1), No Mean Feat (40/1), Solid Fuel (40/1), Vintage Icon (50/1)

BLOW YOUR HORN benefited from the refitting of cheekpieces when a strong-travelling second at Warwick last time and, in what appears to be a thin race, he's fancied to go one better at the possible expense of Earth Cry. Tip Top Tonto is no forlorn hope on debut for a new stable.
