The Bold Thady^p,t²⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr Tommie M O'Brien| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 100

16/1

Tricky customer but finally off the mark in 7-runner handicap hurdle at Fontwell (25.8f, good) in May. Pulled up at Huntingdon 19 days later but wasn't disgraced in a first-time tongue strap when third in 13-runner handicap at Bangor last month.

Form: B25-1P3

No Rematch^p⁵⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 11-13| J: Miss Imogen Mathias⁽⁵⁾| T: J L Flint| OR: 99

10/1

Denied only by an unexposed type in 15-runner handicap hurdle at Exeter (21.6f, heavy) on final outing for Evan Williams in December. Not seen to best effect in a steadily-run event when fourth on return at Hexham in June and can't be dismissed.

Form: 70622-4

Blow Your Horn^p,t⁴³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: Alex Chadwick| T: Ian Williams| OR: 97

3/1

Fairly useful stayer on the Flat who has been shaping up quite well over hurdles, not seen to best effect with waiting tactics back in use when third in 9-runner handicap at Fontwell (19.1f) 43 days ago. Up in trip and remains with potential.

Form: 0765-23

Voodoo Doll^p⁶⁸

Age: 11| Weight: 11-10| J: Miss Eleanor Williams⁽⁷⁾| T: Evan Williams| OR: 96| BF| C

14/1

Fair handicap hurdler. Unraced under Rules since 2022/23 but has won 5 of 7 starts in points, every chance when ran out 3 out last time (May 18). Interesting back under Rules from reduced mark, especially if supported in the betting.

Form: 11/111-R

Ben Buie^v³⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 11-10| J: Freddie Keighley⁽⁷⁾| T: M Keighley| OR: 96

Two wins from 6 runs last season but went backwards from reappearance wehn pulled up in handicap chase at Newton Abbot (21f, good) 30 days ago, folding tamely from 5 out. Switches to back to hurdles.

The Composeur^p⁴⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 11-10| J: Mr Jack Wilmot⁽⁷⁾| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 96| D

40/1

Little to shout about for a while outside of points, pulling up in handicap chase at Bangor on most recent outing. Lots to prove back over hurdles.

Form: 215-P2P

Auditoria^v²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: Mr James King| T: O Murphy| OR: 96

9/1

Age: 12| Weight: 11-10| J: Miss Becca Shepherd⁽⁷⁾| T: S G West| OR: 96

Age: 9| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr Charlie Case⁽⁵⁾| T: M Sheppard| OR: 95| CD

Kiss My Face^v⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: Miss Clara Brewitt⁽⁷⁾| T: A Ralph| OR: 94

6/1

Consistent sort who picked up where he left off over hurdles when fifth of 13 in a C&D handicap (good, 16/1) last week. Likely to give his running once more.

Form: 1/36-635

Faerie Cutlass^t²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Miss L Keen-hawkins⁽⁷⁾| T: K Bailey & M Nicholls| OR: 92| C

Golden Ambition⁹³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Elliott England⁽⁷⁾| T: B Pauling| OR: 91

9/2

Made more impact than previously in handicaps in first-time blinkers when fifth of 13 at Southwell (24.3f, good) in April. Needs to build on that now.

Form: 055P05-

Hazels Delight²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: Ben Sutton⁽³⁾| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 89

Forecasts

Blow Your Horn (3/1), Golden Ambition (9/2), Kiss My Face (6/1), Faerie Cutlass (17/2), Auditoria (9/1), No Rematch (10/1), Pottlerath (14/1), Voodoo Doll (14/1), The Bold Thady (16/1), Cash Again (20/1), Hazels Delight (33/1), Ben Buie (40/1), The Composeur (40/1)

BLOW YOUR HORN has been shaping up well of late and, with the longer trip likely to be within range (stays up to 2¼m on the level), he's taken to open his account over hurdles. Faerie Cutlass will be a threat if bouncing back from her latest effort, while Kiss My Face seems sure to give his running once more.
