Universal Folly¹⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 12-0| J: Sam Coltherd| T: W Coltherd| OR: 120

40/1

Completed a hat-trick over fences at Hexham in October and continued in good heart when runner-up at Aintree (25f) and Carlisle (20f). Little show in a pair of outings for this yard, though, so others are preferred.

Empire De Maulde⁵¹

Age: 10| Weight: 12-0| J: S Bowen| T: J Ewart| OR: 120| D

22/1

Seen only sparingly in recent years but belatedly proved he retains a good chunk of his ability when third of 8 in handicap chase at Kelso (23.4f, good, 40/1) 51 days ago. Respected.

Form: 364/PP-3

Musical Slave^b1²⁷

Age: 11| Weight: 11-11| J: Callum Pritchard⁽⁷⁾| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 117

12/1

Useful, if error-prone, sort at his best but hasn't made an impact since last season's return. Blinkers now reached for.

Form: 0453-55

Leading Force^p,t1¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: Ryan Mania| T: A M Thomson| OR: 112

8/1

Took a step forward to get off the mark in 9-runner event at Sedgefield (21.1f, good) in May and ran creditably when runner-up at Market Rasen (21.4f, good) a fortnight ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Player.

Form: 4/326-12

Mario De Pail^v³⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 11-6| J: James Bowen| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 112

4/1

Fairly useful but error-prone maiden over fences, shaping as if needing the run when third of 9 in hunter chase at this C&D (soft) 30 days ago. Entitled to be sharper now but others are preferred.

Form: 4P85P-3

Ilikedwayurthinkin^p³⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 11-4| J: R P McLernon| T: B Haslam| OR: 110

4/1

Useful winning handicap hurdler/chaser in Ireland for Gavin Cromwell. Winless for over 3 years but more encouraging signs when third of 6 in handicap hurdle at this course (22.1f, soft) 30 days ago. Potentially very well handicapped back chasing.

Form: 67P7-03

Brandy Mcqueen^t¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Craig Nichol| T: H Graham & G Rutherford| OR: 110| BF

12/1

Progressive staying hurdler in 2022/23 who made a winning start over fences off 6 lb higher at Kelso in October. Has looked hard to catch right since, though, and needs to improve on recent Perth effort to figure.

Form: 7P47-66

Do No Wrong¹⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: Callum Bewley| T: Justin Landy| OR: 110| C

9/2

Gained fourth victory from first 5 completed starts over fences in a 6-runner handicap at Southwell (24.3f, good to soft) early in the month. Ran at least as well when second at Stratford (22.6f, good to soft, 7/2) 10 days ago and he should be in the mix again.

Form: 411P-12

Jelski^p³²

Age: 10| Weight: 11-4| J: Charlotte Jones⁽³⁾| T: James Moffatt| OR: 110| CD

11/1

Won this race last season prior to following up over 21f here the following month. Ran creditably when third of 4 in handicap chase at this course (29.4f, good to soft, 7/2) 32 days ago and isn't ruled out back below last winning mark.

Form: 51166-3

Global Assembly^t⁵⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: Aaron Anderson⁽⁵⁾| T: J Bedi| OR: 109

28/1

Dual winning pointer has placed on all 4 starts under Rules without proving progressive. Since last of 2 finishers between the flags since most recent chase outing and has left David Christie for £8,000. Others preferred.

Form: 233P42-

Elleon^p,t⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 10-13| J: Jonathan England| T: S England| OR: 105

9/2

Still not the most of fluent of jumpers but has enjoyed a fine start to the season, landing back-to-back handicaps at Hexham 10 days apart. Shaped like best horse at the weights when third there 5 days ago and has to be involved again if quick turnaround has no ill effects.

Form: 12-8113

ELLEON found his clumsiness costing him the hat-trick at Hexham last time but Cartmel poses an easier jumping test and he's fancied to resume winning ways at the chief expense of the similarly in-form Do No Wrong. Ilikedwayurthinkin has slipped a long way in the weights and caught the eye to a degree over hurdles last time, so is just preferred to Leading Force to complete the placings.
