Aworkinprogress²⁰⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: James Davies| T: N J Gifford| OR: 96

4/1

Left previous form well behind when making second handicap start a winning one at Fontwell in March. Not seen since but has a background in points and this even stiffer test is in his favour.

Form: 4/59861-

The Scorpion King^p¹⁹³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: G Sheehan| T: O Signy| OR: 94

11/1

Off the mark in a Fontwell handicap in March, though success looked unlikely for a long way, and he again raced lazily when only fourth at Hereford next time. Returns from 6 months off.

Form: P64614-

River Voyage¹⁶⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: Ben Jones| T: Miss R Curtis| OR: 92

9/4

Winning Irish pointer who only showed a modest level of form over hurdles but is the type to do better in this sphere and returns with his yard in good order.

Form: 1/6P35-4

Supasunrise^p¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: Finn Lambert⁽³⁾| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 89

5/1

Creditable second of 13 in handicap chase (9/1) at Southwell (20.4f, good to firm) 16 days ago. Well treated, has a fitness edge on most, and hails from an in-form yard, so boasts strong claims.

Form: 2443-P2

Martalmix'jac^p,t²²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽³⁾| T: Mrs M Rowley| OR: 87| C| D

14/1

Course winner. Pulled up in handicap chase at Huntingdon (23.6f, soft, 17/2). Off 7 months. Likely to need the run.

Form: 22621P-

Faitque De L'Isle³⁴⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 11-1| J: Shane Quinlan⁽³⁾| T: H J Evans| OR: 83

11/1

Well handicapped on old form hasn't been seen since being pulled up on final outing for Michael Scudamore 11 months ago. Hard to make a case for.

Form: 6BP/33P-

Kilkeaskin Molly⁴⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 10-12| J: James Best| T: Simon Earle| OR: 80

25/1

Unreliable sort who remains a maiden after 24 goes. Returned from a huge absence with a respectable run over hurdles at Worcester 48 days ago but hard to know if he'll build on that over fences for the first time.

Form: 2F56P/5

Boys Of Wexford¹⁹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-11| J: David Noonan| T: Henry Oliver| OR: 79

10/1

Modest chaser who ended the last campaign in good order. Well treated on his very best efforts but stable hasn't started firing yet.

Form: 4P6322-

Jukebox D'eddy^t¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-9| J: R T Dunne| T: T R Gretton| OR: 77

14/1

Modest maiden hurdler who is yet to offer anything over fences. Something to prove.

Form: 46-3599

Northern Reel^p,t¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-6| J: S Bowen| T: O Murphy| OR: 74

12/1

Irish point winner who is yet to fire under Rules but has a basement mark and showed a bit more when seventh on chasing debut in a handicap at Uttoxeter 13 days ago. Not long with this yard and shouldn't be ruled out.

Form: 5P6-667

Fast Deal²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-6| J: Miss Pippa Brown⁽⁷⁾| T: M C Chapman| OR: 74| C

28/1

Scored at Stratford (27.5f) in April but arrives well below form, down the field at Market Rasen three weeks ago. Likely to struggle.

Form: 1-24289

Doyens De Ante^t⁴¹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-2| J: Charlotte Jones| T: M Young| OR: 69

66/1

Landed back-to-back wins in spring 2023 but has lost the plot since.

Form: PPP-P5P

Forecasts

River Voyage (9/4), Aworkinprogress (4/1), Supasunrise (5/1), Jack Doyen (7/1), Kapamazov (8/1), Boys Of Wexford (10/1), The Scorpion King (11/1), Faitque De L'Isle (11/1), Northern Reel (12/1), Jukebox D'eddy (14/1), Martalmix'jac (14/1), Kilkeaskin Molly (25/1), Fast Deal (28/1), Doyens De Ante (66/1)

SUPASUNRISE added to his stable's excellent form with a positive return when second at Southwell recently. That form has been boosted by the winner since, so he's fancied to go one better. Chasing debutants Aworkinprogress and River Voyage are both of interest, too.
