Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: William Maggs⁽³⁾| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 103| D

8/1

Sole success came in 4-runner event last year and hasn't fired so far this season. Others preferred.

Global Esteem^t⁵¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Jack Hogan⁽³⁾| T: F O'Brien| OR: 101| BF

5/2

Fairly useful 1m handicapper on Flat for John Gallagher. Has shown aptitude for hurdling and might well have been let in lightly off 101, so merits strong consideration.

Form: 943-22

Trailblazer^p¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: Joshua Thompson⁽⁷⁾| T: A Nicol| OR: 100

25/1

Stayer on the Flat who is still unexposed and probably capable of better over hurdles. Poor effort on the level last time and cheekpieces refitted now.

Form: 9223-

Sergeant Wilson¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Emma Smith-Chaston| T: R M Smith| OR: 98| D

14/1

Quirky sort who posted a good second at Newbury off a 7 lb higher mark in November. No impact since, including on first run since leaving Nigel Twiston-Davies over C&D 10 days ago.

Form: 2448-56

Aldbourne^t1³⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: P W Wadge⁽³⁾| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 98

33/1

Fair Flat winner who has been brought along steadily so far by this yard. Seemed amiss over C&D last time, though, so has a bit to prove.

Form: 660-P

Just Dottie^h³⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: Ben Smith⁽⁸⁾| T: R M Smith| OR: 97| CD

3/1

Offered little in bumper/on Flat but has found her feet over hurdles for this yard, better for her reappearance when landing mares' handicap over C&D for second successive year in May. Good third at Uttoxeter since and is likely to make his presence felt once more.

Form: 3875-13

No Recollection^t¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Tom Midgley⁽³⁾| T: S England| OR: 95| D

14/1

Modest handicap hurdler who has slipped to a good mark and showed a bit more on the Flat in the spring. Worth monitoring in the betting.

Form: U90P4-3

Shantou Lucky^t²³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: Alan Doyle| T: J Bedi| OR: 92| D

22/1

Winning hurdler/chaser in Ireland for Gavin Cromwell. Some encouragement here on debut for new stable but failed to back it up and now drops markedly in trip.

Form: 00/PP-49

Jysuis¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: Bruce Lynn| T: S G West| OR: 88

16/1

Placed all 3 starts in bumpers in France but yet to finish better than mid-field for his current yard, just a respectable fifth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Worcester last time. Handicapper is giving him more of a chance.

Form: 309-685

Game Beaaa^t²³

Age: 7| Weight: 10-9| J: Dylan Johnston| T: D Bourke| OR: 84

4/1

Course winner who posted another creditable effort when third at Market Rasen last time, shaping well in the circumstances. Turn doesn't look far away and she's worth taking a chance on.

Form: 145P-33

Willy Nilly³⁰⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-3| J: Peter Kavanagh| T: Miss L Harrison| OR: 78

33/1

Maiden who was pulled up at Uttoxeter 10 months ago and hasn't been seen since, so hard to make a compelling case for.

Form: 8/0632P-

Forecasts

Global Esteem (5/2), Just Dottie (3/1), Game Beaaa (4/1), Ve Day (8/1), Sergeant Wilson (14/1), No Recollection (14/1), Jysuis (16/1), Shantou Lucky (22/1), Trailblazer (25/1), Willy Nilly (33/1), Aldbourne (33/1)

GAME BEAAA's jumping hasn't always been the most polished but she has avoided errors lately and shaped like she's ready to win when third at Market Rasen last time, so she gets the nod over Global Esteem, who is potentially well treated on Flat form having his first go in handicaps.
