Off time: 15:22 | Winning time: 4m 1.65s

Moveit Like Minnie^t³⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 124| D

4/1

Fairly useful handicap hurdler around 2m and he cosily justified good support on his debut over fences at Stratford (17f, good) last month. Has more to offer up 6 lb so he's a player for yard among the winners.

Form: 1499P-1

Asta La Pasta^t²¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 124| D

9/2

A three-time hurdles winner last season around 2m. Off 7 months but has won off a break so he's much respected on his chase debut for top yard.

Form: 133110-

Ito Ditto²²²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: James Bowen| T: Nicky Martin| OR: 123| D

8/1

Much improved last term and a three-time scorer, signing off witb 2m4f Lingfield handicap success. Very much one to consider now going over fences.

Form: 0/121P1-

Booster Bob^h²⁰¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: S Bowen| T: O Murphy| OR: 120| D

8/1

Completed a hat-trick over hurdles in 2m novice at Sandown in December. Pulled up at Newcastle on his final run in March but still worthy of consideration on his first go in this sphere.

Form: 3/1114P-

Minella Blueway¹⁸⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams| OR: 115

8/1

Winning Irish pointer who got off the mark under Rules when easily landing Chepstow maiden (19.5f) in December. Ended the season with a very good handicap second here (3m) in April so must enter calculations on his chasing bow.

Form: 213692-

Knockanore^p²²⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: D A Jacob| T: R Potter| OR: 115| CD

18/1

A fairly useful winning hurdler but off the track since a below-form fourth at Newbury (20.5f, heavy) in March. Still commands respect starting out in this sphere.

Form: 371/3F4-

Just Over Land^t¹⁷⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: Dylan Johnston⁽⁵⁾| T: S Thomas| OR: 115| D

4/1

Consistent sort last season who got off the mark in 2m Lingfield handicap hurdle in February. Needs considering on his fencing bow.

Form: 341423-

Idefix De Ciergues^p¹⁵⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-10| J: Ben Jones| T: Miss R Curtis| OR: 110

5/1

Remains winless over hurdles but this reliable sort posted a solid fourth of 14 in novice here (21.9f, good to soft) in May. Can make his presence felt over the larger obstacles now.

Form: 36222-4

Forecasts

Just Over Land (4/1), Moveit Like Minnie (4/1), Asta La Pasta (9/2), Idefix De Ciergues (5/1), Booster Bob (8/1), Minella Blueway (8/1), Ito Ditto (8/1), Knockanore (18/1)

Nigel Twiston-Davies has his string in rude health at present so his MOVEIT LIKE MINNIE is taken to follow up his stylish debut Stratford success and go 2-2 over fences. Lots of these bring potential starting out chasing, notably Asta La Pasta and Ito Ditto and they can chase home the selection in that order. Just Over Land completes the shortlist.
