Off time: 17:00 | Winning time: 5m 15.13s

Looking Splendid¹⁵¹

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Bruce Lynn| T: Gary Rutherford| OR: 97

14/1

Didn't show much in bumpers but there have been signs of ability over hurdles and he could do better switched to handicaps after 5 months off.

Form: 500/58-5

Dalileo¹¹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Peter Kavanagh| T: Miss L Harrison| OR: 95

9/1

Added to an excellent course record when second of 10 in handicap hurdle at Perth (20.2f, soft) 11 days ago, travelling with purpose. His chance doesn't look to be too far away.

Form: 23F532

Summergrounds²⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-11| J: Conor Rabbitt⁽³⁾| T: N G Richards| OR: 94| D

4/1

Winner in hurdle at Market Rasen in May. Has posted a couple of creditable efforts since and is likely to be on the premises again.

Form: 445-132

Double Powerful^h²⁰⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-10| J: Dylan Johnston| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 93| D

10/3

Lightly raced 5yo who hit a steep upward curve towards the end of last season, signing off with two ready successes. Returns with his yard in excellent form, so worth a chance to complete the hat-trick.

Form: P79411-

Starlyte^p,t²⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: P W Wadge⁽³⁾| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 93| C

25/1

On a losing run and has pulled up on her last 3 starts. Bounce back needed.

Form: 532PPP

Bathgate⁸⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-9| J: Joe Williamson| T: P A Kirby| OR: 94

22/1

Offered little in bumpers but more promising signs when reaching the frame in a couple of maiden hurdles for Tom Weston this spring. Probably needed the run on both outings for this yard and he's still unexposed.

Form: 7843-97

Captain Marco¹⁷⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Cameron Iles⁽³⁾| T: Tim Vaughan| OR: 87

7/2

Has merely hinted at ability thus far, down the field when last seen at Exeter five months ago for Mitchell Hunt. Hard to make a solid case for unless the market speaks in his favour.

Form: 85870-

Pooch^p,t⁴⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Charlie Maggs⁽⁶⁾| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 83

5/1

First run since leaving Harriet Dickin when respectable ninth of 16 in handicap hurdle (14/1) at Stratford (22f, good) 40 days ago. May do better for this yard and can't be dismissed.

Form: 5-43559

Iolani^p¹¹

Age: 12| Weight: 10-8| J: Edward Austin| T: A Slack| OR: 77| CD

10/1

Veteran who scored at Cartmel in May and arrives on the back of a couple of respectable efforts. Others look better treated, though.

Form: 194624

Local Drama²⁵⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-4| J: James Turner⁽³⁾| T: J Parkinson & S Smith| OR: 73

22/1

Runner-up on the second of his 2 starts so, while he's showed next to nothing under Rules, he's worth a market check on handicap debut after 8 months off.

Form: P2/74P-

Ivynator¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: Alan Doyle| T: Mrs J C McGregor| OR: 69

150/1

One-time fairly useful Flat performer but yet to get anywhere near that form over hurdles. Hard to make any sort of case for.

Form: 55/48-50

Forecasts

Double Powerful (10/3), Captain Marco (7/2), Summergrounds (4/1), Pooch (5/1), Dalileo (9/1), Iolani (10/1), Looking Splendid (14/1), Bathgate (22/1), Local Drama (22/1), Starlyte (25/1), Ivynator (150/1)

DOUBLE POWERFUL was improving fast when last seen and he comes back from 6 months off for an in-form stable, so he's preferred to Dalileo, who ran with credit at Perth recently. Summergrounds is also likely to give a good account.
