Jeteye^v,t⁴⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Jonathan England| T: S England| OR: 100| CD

15/2

C&D winner in June who wasn't disgraced in a first-time visor when seventh of 11 in handicap hurdle at Worcester (23f, good, 9/1) 46 days ago. One to consider.

Form: 2-P7197

Balkotic^b,t¹¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: Emma Smith-Chaston⁽³⁾| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 93| CD

22/1

C&D winner who ran poorly after 12 weeks off at Sedgefield (27f, good) 11 days ago. Blinkers back on.

Form: 325-335

Twoplacesatonetime²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Ross Chapman| T: R Menzies| OR: 92

50/1

Went with no encouragement making his handicap debut after 5 months off when pulled up at Perth (20.2f, good to soft) 25 days ago. Enough to prove.

Form: 3/37P3-P

Pop The Question⁷⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: B S Hughes| T: Samantha & Jacqueline Coward| OR: 92| C

25/1

Winning pointer who caused something of a surprise when making a successful debut under Rules in 2m4f Hexham maiden in June. However, that was a weak race and she's had her limitations exposed on both starts since. Upped in trip for handicap bow.

Form: 5-1P186

Santa Clarita^p²³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 92| BF

3/1

Gained a first win in Britain in 2m4f handicap hurdle at Worcester in September, albeit in fortunate circumstances (left in front last). Seemingly undone by a 7-lb rise in the weights when third in a similar event back there since but should remain competitive.

Form: 282-P13

Colonel Manderson^b,t¹⁹⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: D R Fox| T: W Young Jnr| OR: 90| CD

100/1

Revived in first-time blinkers to cause a surprise over C&D in September 2023. Pulled up next 2 starts, however, and offered little in a brace of points in March.

Form: 81PP5P-

Magical Arthur^t,p³³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: Sean Quinlan| T: J Candlish| OR: 89

85/40

Shaped well in first-time cheekpieces when second of 11 in handicap hurdle at Worcester (23f, good, 5/1) 33 days ago. Remains unexposed as a stayer.

Form: 76P-842

Ange Endormi^p1³⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-2| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: Lizzie Quinlan| OR: 88

17/2

Shaped as if retaining the bulk of his ability when third in 7-runner handicap hurdle (4/1) at Cartmel (25.4f, heavy) 39 days ago. Cheekpieces on for 1st time.

Form: 124/7-P3

Wotyoudunnow Buddy^p¹⁰³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Nathan Moscrop| T: S Corbett| OR: 86| C

9/2

Winner of a selling event here in May and returned to a similar level when 3 lengths second of 14 to Jeteye in C&D handicap in June.

Form: 643-162

Famous Response^v⁹⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 10-12| J: Jonathon Bewley| T: G Bewley| OR: 84| C| D

40/1

Ran no better than on his return in a first-time visor when last of 9 in handicap hurdle at Cartmel (25.4f, good to soft, 22/1) 96 days ago. Others preferred.

Form: 4-55159

Iturgeon Du Breuil^p⁴⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-9| J: Lorcan Murtagh| T: F P Murtagh| OR: 81

22/1

Showed improved form when placed at Ayr and Hexham on first 2 handicap starts but finished well held at Perth (23.9f, good, 28/1) 48 days ago. Needs to get back on track.

Form: 8P3-260

Dequall^b⁹²

Age: 8| Weight: 10-4| J: Peter Kavanagh⁽³⁾| T: W Coltherd| OR: 76| C

14/1

Lazy sort who made it clear he wasn't on a going day at Perth (23.9f, good to firm) 92 days ago, early reminders and tailing off before 3 out.

Form: 968-26P

Forecasts

Magical Arthur (85/40), Santa Clarita (3/1), Wotyoudunnow Buddy (9/2), Jeteye (15/2), Ange Endormi (17/2), Dequall (14/1), Iturgeon Du Breuil (22/1), Balkotic (22/1), Mackie Dee (25/1), Pop The Question (25/1), Famous Response (40/1), Twoplacesatonetime (50/1), Colonel Manderson (100/1)

MAGICAL ARTHUR shaped well in a first-time visor when second at Worcester last month and remains unexposed as a stayer, so he's an appealing candidate. Santa Clarita and Jeteye head up the opposition.
