Red Windsor^p1³²

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Freddie Gordon⁽⁵⁾| T: C Gordon| OR: 102

11/1

Fairly useful hurdler at his best. Lost his way last season but more encouraging signs when third of 10 on 19f Fontwell reappearance 32 days ago. May come on for the run and dangerously well treated if reacting well to first-time cheekpieces.

Form: 2PP08-3

Iontach Cheval²⁵¹

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: J J Burke| T: A Ralph| OR: 102| CD

9/4

Made a successful reappearance in this race 2 years ago. Hasn't hit the same heights in quite a light career since but returns from 8 months off with the Alastair Ralph stable in flying form.

Form: 18/39P5-

Definite Dream^t²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Brendan Powell| T: D J Coakley| OR: 97

17/2

Has reached the frame in 4 novice/maiden hurdles this summer. Has an unexposed profile now handicapping but shaped last time as if she may benefit from a return to 2½m as opposed to a sharp 2m.

Form: P-33423

Royal Deeside¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 11-8| J: Tom Cannon| T: A King| OR: 96

5/1

In good hands but no better than modest form over hurdles so far, albeit he is entitled to be sharper for a recent Plumpton outing after 6 months off.

Form: 62323-5

Kolisi^p,t³³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: Jack Tudor| T: D Pipe| OR: 96| D

11/1

Runner-up twice in 2m handicap hurdles in June 2023 but not seen again until well held on the Flat at Salisbury last month. That should have blown away a few cobwebs but would still need to see market support to consider.

Form: 4384/22-

Jo's Rainbow^t²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 92

15/2

Fair Flat winner but had yet to better modest form over hurdles, disappointing when seventh of 18 at Exeter last time. Can't be discounted given who trains her but others arrive with more pressing claims.

Form: 073447

Ez Tiger^t¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-13| J: Bryan Carver| T: A M Hales| OR: 87| D

7/2

Back to winning ways at Plumpton (2m) in May and made a creditable return from 5 months off when third of 15 there a fortnight ago. Ought to be very competitive from an unchanged mark.

Form: F46-153

Pacific²²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: James Best| T: M Keighley| OR: 85

14/1

Made a sound start to her handicap career when 9 lengths third on 2½m Hereford handicap debut 3 weeks ago. Down in trip. Another who can't be discounted.

Form: 05-723

Onnaroll^h,t¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: Philip Armson⁽³⁾| T: Cynthia Woods| OR: 69

100/1

Poor maiden who is easy to oppose from out of the handicap.

Form: 368-7FP

Forecasts

Iontach Cheval (9/4), Ez Tiger (7/2), Royal Deeside (5/1), Jo's Rainbow (15/2), Definite Dream (17/2), Kolisi (11/1), Red Windsor (11/1), Pacific (14/1), Onnaroll (100/1)

With the Alastair Ralph stable going so well it's worth chancing IONTACH CHEVAL, who made a successful reappearance in this race 2 years ago from an 8 lb higher mark. Red Windsor will be a threat if building on quite an encouraging return to action at Fontwell. Ez Tiger is also respected on the back of his latest third in a big field at Plumpton.
