22/1

Fair on the Flat up to 10f for Tom Clover. Left that yard for £9,000 and not at that level both starts over hurdles, despite finishing third in each occasion. Has the run of the race at Plumpton and he looks vulnerable.

Form: 33

Justice Roll¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Caoilin Quinn⁽³⁾| T: G & J Moore

4/1

Fair on the Flat in France, winning a 13f maiden at Chateaubriant (good to soft) in June. Sound start to hurdles career when third at Kempton a fortnight ago and he's expected to build on that.

Form: 3

Rakki²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Tom Cannon| T: A King

6/4

Fairly useful maiden on the Flat (stays 1¾m) but looks up to winning races over hurdles judged on his promising third-place finish at Chepstow 3 weeks ago. Improvement forthcoming and the one to beat.

Form: 3

Flowering¹⁹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 10-7| J: Tristan Durrell⁽³⁾| T: D Skelton

33/1

Fair maiden handicapper on Flat (stays 1½m), rare poor effort last time. Sold from Charlie Johnston 15,000 gns in May and joined another successful yard. Cheekpieces removed for hurdles debut.

Form:

Our Lil⁶⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 10-7| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| BF

11/4

Fair maiden on Flat (stays 1½m), runner-up in handicaps twice in 2024 for John Patrick Murtagh. Interesting hurdling newcomer (presumably the choice of Harry Skelton). Headgear off.

Form:

Scottie's Sister²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 10-7| J: Jamie Brace⁽⁷⁾| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 92| BF

5/1

Brace of runner-up efforts in recent weeks entitle her to respect but there's no reason to think she's much better than her current level.

RAKKI has failed to win on the Flat so far but the wait shouldn't be too long over hurdles given the promise he displayed at Chepstow on his fIrst crack over obstacles 3 weeks ago. Justice Roll also showed plenty to work on, while the market may help assess the Dan Skelton-trained pair.
