Age: 4| Weight: 12-0| J: James Turner⁽⁷⁾| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 100

11/4

Showed some minor promise over hurdles in Ireland initially. Not so good in the spring but has joined a yard that has been going well lately and looks interesting, particularly if supported in the betting.

Form: 6488-6

Pateen^t,v¹⁶

Age: 12| Weight: 11-12| J: Aaron Anderson⁽⁵⁾| T: J Bedi| OR: 95| CD

12/1

Isn't the easiest to predict but brushed off a few-below par efforts to claim his second win of the season in 10-runner C&D handicap 16 days ago, kept up to work. Nudged up 5 lb.

Form: 318401

Diamond State^p,t³⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Conner McCann⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 95| D

14/1

Thirteen runs since last win in 2022 and ran one of this season's lesser races when ninth of 15 in handicap hurdle (16/1) at this course (23.9f, good) 39 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Form: 9-3U349

Bridge Road^p¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-5| J: Sean Quinlan| T: J Candlish| OR: 88

9/1

Continues to fall in the weights without showing any sign of taking advantage, finishing only ninth of 13 in 23f handicap at Worcester (23f, good) 14 days ago.

Form: 7F/0509

Turkey And Ham^t¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: Mr O McGill⁽⁵⁾| T: N C Kelly| OR: 86| BF

15/2

Gambled on and went through the race as if ahead of her mark when fourth in 15-runner handicap at Kilbeggan (24.4f, good to soft, 9/4) 19 days ago. Must enter calculations back down in trip.

Form: 904-034

Zuul^h,t⁹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Nathan Moscrop| T: R Menzies| OR: 83

11/1

5/1, again shaped well when second of 10 in handicap hurdle at Market Rasen (20.6f, good to firm) 96 days ago, running on. Hood back on and merits consideration.

Form: 775-732

Prince Nino^p,t¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 10-10| J: Peter Kavanagh⁽³⁾| T: Lizzie Quinlan| OR: 79| CD

14/1

C&D winner who offered a lot more than previously this season when 5¼ lengths third of 10 to Pateen in C&D handicap (good to soft) 16 days ago. Possibilities if building on that.

Form: 7P-8P03

Swift Reply¹⁴⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 10-8| J: Callum Bewley| T: S Waugh| OR: 77

100/1

Faced a stiff task from out of the handicap when last of 15 in handicap hurdle at Kelso (22.7f, good, 200/1) on final outing in May.

Form: 65P20-0

Happy Index^p¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-7| J: S Bowen| T: O Murphy| OR: 76| BF

4/1

Shaped encouragingly on first since leaving Paul Webber when second in 9-runner handicap (evens) at Fontwell (21.8f, good) 17 days ago, clear of rest. Cheekpieces back on and one to be interested in.

Form: P8455-2

Iolani^p⁷

Age: 12| Weight: 10-6| J: William Maggs⁽⁵⁾| T: A Slack| OR: 75| D

5/1

Veteran who scored at Cartmel in May and returned to a similar level when second of 14 in handicap at Kelso (18.1f, good) last week, clear of rest. Good claims if backing that up.

Form: 019462

Mistertommyshelby^p³⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 10-2| J: Conor Ring| T: R Potter| OR: 66

33/1

Poor maiden hurdler/chaser at best with little recent form.

Form: 40P-89P

Superbolt (11/4), Happy Index (4/1), Iolani (5/1), Turkey And Ham (15/2), Bridge Road (9/1), Zuul (11/1), Pateen (12/1), Diamond State (14/1), Prince Nino (14/1), Mistertommyshelby (33/1), Swift Reply (100/1)

SUPERBOLT is a lightly-raced sort who showed some promise over hurdles in Ireland last winter and looks interesting now setting out for an in-form yard, especially if the betting speaks in his favour. Happy Index shaped encouragingly on her stable debut at Fontwell earlier in the month and is an obvious threat, with Turkey And Ham also of firm interest dropping back in trip having gone through the race like one ahead of her mark on her most recent outing at Kilbeggan.
