9/4

Fair hurdler who returned to form with a tongue strap added when creditable second of 8 in a Market Rasen maiden (23.1f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Every chance of going one better with a repeat.

Form: 2/22P-72

16/1

Dual point winner who shaped with some encouragement when fourth of 11 in a C&D novice on NH debut 10 days ago. Work to do to reverse form with Eileen's Milan, however.

Form: P321-14

Come Dancing⁷¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: James Davies| T: O Signy| OR: 77| BF

66/1

Just poor form over hurdles and looks up against it returning from 23 months off.

11/2

Landed a couple of small-field bumpers last summer before finishing second on Worcester hurdle debut last autumn. Disappointing next 2 outings but was given a considerate return from a 6-month break at Chepstow in April. Tongue strap back on and needs considering.

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: H Cobden| T: P F Nicholls| OR: 108

7/2

Left previous efforts behind when second of 11 in a C&D novice (good) 10 days ago and may do better still in a first-time tongue strap.

Form: 642

Full Monty³⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: J J Burke| T: F O'Brien

14/1

Regressive from first run to second in bumpers and made a discouraging debut in this sphere at Warwick in May.

Form: 47-8

Lion's Vigil^p²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Harry Kimber| T: W G M Turner| OR: 75

33/1

Poor maiden who is easily passed over on these terms.

Form: 4/7-F437

Top Man Tom^p1⁶²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: David Bass| T: B Pauling

5/1

£7,000 4-y-o, Ask gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to fairly useful hurdle winner/smart chaser (winner up to 21f) Little Josh. Winning pointer, third last time (May 4), but it is a little concerning cheekpieces are already applied for Rules debut.

Form: 4UPU1-3

Yellow Car³⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Nick Slatter⁽⁵⁾| T: D Killahena & G McPherson

6/1

£6,000 3-y-o, Malinas gelding. Half-brother to fair hurdler Present Road. Winning pointer, unseated rider last time (May 27). Makes Rules debut and market should point the way.

Form: 6-1U

Age: 7| Weight: 10-11| J: David Noonan| T: R Chapman

200/1

Well held all 3 starts over hurdles for M. Hourigan. Winning pointer since but was unplaced last time (Jun 2). Looks best watched.

Forecasts

A Definite Getaway (9/4), Eileen's Milan (7/2), Top Man Tom (5/1), Corporal Jackjones (11/2), Yellow Car (6/1), Full Monty (14/1), All Night Parking (16/1), Lion's Vigil (33/1), Come Dancing (66/1), Share A Moment (200/1)

EILEEN'S MILAN left his previous efforts behind when second over C&D 10 days ago and, with his pedigree pointing towards further improvement, he's preferred to the more exposed A Definite Getaway. Dual-bumper winner Corporal Jackjones can also have a big say if returning to something like his hurdling debut form.
