Ballycamus¹⁷⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 12-2| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 122| BF

5/4

Made a successful debut over fences at Chepstow last December and added to his tally in 2m 4f handicap at Warwick following month. Has finished runner-up on all 3 subsequent starts and has a big shout returning from 6 months off with yard firing on all cylinders.

Form: 141222-

Post Chaise¹³⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: Toby Wynne⁽³⁾| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 115

13/2

Building a fine strike-rate over fences, notching a fifth win over the larger obstacles at Market Rasen (27.6f, good) when last seen in May (3-3 at that venue). Leading contender provided he's ready to roll.

Form: 13312-1

The Boola Boss^t¹⁴¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-8| J: Paul O'Brien| T: Miss R Curtis| OR: 114| CD

7/1

Showed improved form to notch a third victory over fences at this C&D (good) when last seen in May, albeit it was a thin race. 7 lb rise to contend with but that shouldn't prevent a bold bid on reappearance.

Form: 1/5152-1

Balkardy¹⁶⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: Isabel Williams⁽³⁾| T: Evan Williams| OR: 111

14/1

Gained reward for consistency when gaining a first success of last season in a handicap hurdle at Musselburgh (23.8f, soft) in February. Little impact all 3 subsequent starts, though, latest effort coming back over the larger obstacles in April. Plenty to prove.

Form: 23159P-

Mumford's Magic²⁴⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 108

2/1

Fair maiden hurdler who was narrowly denied at Hexham last November. Well held at Huntingdon later that month and failed to progress stepping into handicap company at Sandown back in February. Market check advised on return/chase debut for top yard.

Forecasts

Ballycamus (5/4), Mumford's Magic (2/1), Post Chaise (13/2), The Boola Boss (7/1), Balkardy (14/1)

Nigel Twiston-Davies has his string in fine order at present and his BALLYCAMUS is selected to make a winning return at the expense of The Boola Boss, who took his form up a notch when recording a third victory over fences at this C&D back in May. Post Chaise was another last-time-out winner, so he rounds off the shortlist on reappearance.
