9/1

Belatedly shed his maiden tag at Uttoxeter (2m) in July 2023 and followed it with good efforts over this C&D. Likely to go well again if fully tuned up on return.

Form: 7134-PP

Moodofthemoment^p²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: Stan Sheppard| T: M Sheppard| OR: 92

4/1

Modest form at best over hurdles/fences for David Pipe, Won all 3 of his point starts prior to finishing well held over hurdles on sole start for David Dennis. Shaped well after another stable switch when second over C&D last month and needs considering.

Form: P1-1102

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: Brendan Powell| T: Miss H C Knight| OR: 100

50/1

11/1

Maiden hurdler but made his second chase start a winning one at Uttoxeter in July 2022. Subsequently absent for 22 months and easily best effort since when respectable third over C&D 3 weeks ago. May come on again.

Form: 421/P03

Gerard Mentor^p,t²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: K Bailey & M Nicholls| OR: 86| D

8/1

Winless over hurdles since scoring 4 times in 2022 and has gone the wrong way in 3 starts since making the frame at Ludlow in May. However, did at least offer something to work on switched to fences over C&D 3 weeks ago.

Form: 0-46606

Groom De Cotte^p1,t¹²

Age: 8| Weight: 10-8| J: R P McLernon| T: G Brown| OR: 80

Form: F5-307P

Herecomeshogan^t,v⁵⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-8| J: Daire James McConville⁽⁷⁾| T: M Keighley| OR: 80

15/2

Dual hurdles winner who was proving inconsistent over fences over the winter. However, excuses both starts this season and eased to a tempting mark.

Form: 8628-76

Age: 8| Weight: 10-5| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽³⁾| T: J Coulson| OR: 77| D

66/1

Form: 5P535-P

Royal Max²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-4| J: R T Dunne| T: C & A Pogson| OR: 76

4/1

Made the frame on 4 of his last 5 outings, including when third back over fences at Market Rasen last month. That was only his second start over fences so entitled to do better in this sphere.

Form: P-33733

The Gambler⁵⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-3| J: Charlie Hammond| T: M Young| OR: 75| D

25/1

A fair bumper winner but she has failed to match that form over hurdles and fences, coming in only ninth of 10 in handicap chase at Bangor (20.3f, good) 40 days ago. Others are preferred.

Form: 060-298

Go On Ya Goodthing^t¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: C Brace| T: F O'Brien| OR: 74

9/2

Modest maiden hurdler for David Brace and looked in need of the experience sent chasing by his new yard after 4 months off at Newton Abbot 11 days ago.

Form: 24P-P54
