Off time: 15:25 | Winning time: 3m 53.10s

Noble Anthem¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Henry Brooke| T: A Keatley| OR: 107

11/1

Fairly useful Flat winner. Stepped up on previous efforts in this sphere when second in Kelso maiden (16.2f) in September and warrants respect on handicap hurdle debut.

Form: 34/2-

Baskerville²²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-13| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: A King| OR: 106

11/1

Confirmed promise of previous run when winning 9-runner novice hurdle (9/2) at Uttoxeter (15.8f, good to soft) 22 days ago, kept up to work. May have more to offer on switch to handicapping.

Form: 205-U1

Pillar Of Steel^p²³

Age: 9| Weight: 11-13| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽³⁾| T: Henry Oliver| OR: 106

16/1

As good as ever when getting back to winning ways in mares' handicap at Stratford last August but more miss than hit since.

Form: 364-698

Logan Rocks²³

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: J M Quinlan| T: Olly Williams| OR: 105

125/1

Fair maiden hurdler for Amy Murphy during 2019/20 season but offered little either start since returning from 4-year absence.

Form: 1365/P5

Bannister^t⁷³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: Charlie Hammond| T: N Kent| OR: 103| D

33/1

Multiple winner for Tom George but too keen after 11 months off when seventh of 9 in handicap hurdle at Huntingdon (15.8f, good) 73 days ago. Something to prove at present.

Form: 456/527-

Ambassador^b1³¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: Joshua Thompson⁽⁷⁾| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 102

16/1

Added to his fine Uttoxeter record when scoring for third time there in May and arrives on back of creditable fourth of 9 in handicap hurdle at same course (15.8f, good) 31 days ago. Blinkers on first time. Not out of things.

Form: 7148-14

River Robe¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 101| CD

8/11

Rewarded strong support when making winning debut for new yard in 10-runner handicap hurdle over C&D (good to firm, 11/10) 16 days ago. 11 lb higher now but a bold follow-up bid seems assured.

Form: 42506-1

Very Excellent¹⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-8| J: Aaron Anderson⁽⁵⁾| T: M E Sowersby| OR: 101| D

28/1

Posted respectable effort on Flat last month but performed poorly the last twice in this discipline and makes limited appeal.

Form: 6/26265-

Mister Moodles^p1²²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: R Menzies| OR: 100| D

9/1

Winner of a Doncaster novice in December and stepped up on previous handicap outing when fifth of 10 at Hexham (16.2f, good to soft) 22 days ago. Others look better treated, though. Cheekpieces on first time.

Form: 6127-75

Gms Prince^t⁴⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 11-1| J: S Bowen| T: Sarah Hollinshead| OR: 94

12/1

Still looking for first success and arrives on back of below-par effort at Huntingdon 47 days ago. However, has been cut some slack by the handicapper and the booking of Sean Bowen catches the eye.

Form: 74/456-8

We'll Go Again^t³¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 10-11| J: Jonathan England| T: S England| OR: 90| BF| CD

12/1

C&D winner back in 2022 and performed creditably in defeat over fences last summer. Switches to hurdling, back from 10-month absence, and is worth monitoring in market.

Form: 92/3434-

Treasured Company¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 10-2| J: Peter Kavanagh⁽³⁾| T: J Parkinson & S Smith| OR: 77| D

18/1

Dual winner in 2021 but lightly raced and largely disappointing since. 4 lb out of the handicap. Easy enough to look elsewhere.

Form: 403-940

Forecasts

River Robe (8/11), Mister Moodles (9/1), Noble Anthem (11/1), Baskerville (11/1), Gms Prince (12/1), We'll Go Again (12/1), Pillar Of Steel (16/1), Ambassador (16/1), Treasured Company (18/1), Very Excellent (28/1), Bannister (33/1), Logan Rocks (125/1)

RIVER ROBE won with plenty in hand on her debut for Dan Skelton last month and can go in again. Noble Anthem and GMS Prince may give her most to think about.
