Age: 4| Weight: 12-0| J: Alan Doyle| T: A B Hamilton| OR: 117

125/1

Largely struggled after landing a Fairyhouse maiden hurdle for Gordon Elliott last December, offering little over fences on his last 2 starts in August. Probably best watched back hurdling on debut for new yard.

Form: 3279-P5

Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: William Maggs⁽³⁾| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 113| D

13/2

Newcastle maiden hurdle winner in February 2023 and shaped promisingly when runner-up on return/chase debut here last winter. However, his form dipped badly in 3 subsequent outings, including back in this sphere at Wetherby on latest start in March.

Form: 3C/26P8-

Dreams Of Home¹⁹⁰

12/1

Successful all 3 starts in this sphere back in 2021 and went on to win 3 times from 19 starts over fences for Donald McCain. It was a struggle for the most part last season (has undergone a wind op since latest run) but he resumes in this sphere for new connections on a potentially very handy mark.

Form: 3P4524-

Mick Maestro¹¹³

Age: 11| Weight: 11-10| J: Tom Broughton| T: N Kent| OR: 112| D

33/1

Back-to-back winner of Catterick handicap hurdles early-2022 and best effort since when third of 9 at Southwell (15.8f, good to soft) in May. However, little to shout about in a couple of subsequent appearances (over fences last time) and others make more appeal.

Form: 9F0-367

Heritier^t¹⁷⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: Peter Kavanagh⁽³⁾| T: Lizzie Quinlan| OR: 105| BF| DWS

4/1

Largely creditable efforts since joining this yard, still bang there when brought down 2 out in a Hexham handicap chase (15.6f, heavy) on final run of last season. Since undergone a wind op and each-way chance back hurdling if fully tuned-up following a break.

Form: 52322B-

Follow Charlie¹⁸¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: Ben Smith⁽⁵⁾| T: R M Smith| OR: 105

13/2

Done well since handicapping, off the mark over 20.5f at Ayr in January and travelled powerfully when doubling his tally over the same C&D in March. Absent following a low-key effort the following month, though, and will need to raise his game in order to make a winning reappearance.

Knomorediamonds^h²²

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: P W Wadge⁽³⁾| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 104

7/1

Showed some fair form in bumpers and there were positives to take from his qualifying runs in this sphere, not least when fifth in a six-runner Perth novice (16.2f, soft) last month. Open to improvement now pitched into a handicap, especially with this stiffer track likely to be more up his street.

Form: R53F4-5

Serious Ego¹³⁸

Age: 11| Weight: 10-13| J: Conor Rabbitt⁽³⁾| T: N G Richards| OR: 101

14/1

Veteran who landed back-to-back Hexham handicaps last November and added to his tally at Perth (16.2f, soft) during the spring. No show back at Hexham when last seen in June but this 11-y-o will will be a threat if able to bounce back following a break.

Form: 83381-7

Shantou Lucky^p,t³⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-7| J: Aaron Anderson| T: J Bedi| OR: 95

5/1

Winning hurdler/chaser in Ireland for Gavin Cromwell. Left previous form for present connections behind when readily accounting for 10 rivals in first-time cheekpieces (retained here) at Perth (20.2f, good to soft) last month and he remains feasibly treated up 9 lb.

Form: P-49551

Malangen¹¹

Age: 9| Weight: 10-7| J: Charlie Maggs⁽³⁾| T: Miss L Harrison| OR: 95| D

6/1

Scored at Hexham in June and hasn't done a great deal wrong since, posting another creditable effort when fourth of 11 at Kelso (21f, good to soft) recently. Each-way chance for yard also represented by Dalileo.

Form: 353554

Dalileo¹¹

Age: 9| Weight: 10-7| J: Joshua Thompson⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss L Harrison| OR: 95| D

17/2

Back on the scoresheet when taking a 3m Perth handicap in June and has made the frame several times since. On the downside, recent effort at Kelso wasn't one of his better ones and he will probably find one or two too good once more.

Forecasts

Heritier (4/1), Shantou Lucky (5/1), Malangen (6/1), Blue Fin (13/2), Follow Charlie (13/2), Knomorediamonds (7/1), Dalileo (17/2), Dreams Of Home (12/1), Serious Ego (14/1), Romeo Brown (20/1), Mick Maestro (33/1), Pacini (125/1)

Having shaped with encouragement back from a break at Perth last month, KNOMOREDIAMONDS is taken to make a winning handicap debut off what could turn out to be a very fair opening mark. Irish import Shantou Lucky appeared to turn a corner when scoring at Perth and he is the clear main danger ahead of Dreams of Home and Serious Ego.
