Very much on the up for his new yard, landing 3m2f handicap hurdles at Warwick and Hereford of late. Up another 4 lb but he's a player in his hat-trick bid.

Signed off last term with a win at Perth and posted a good second of 5 in handicap hurdle at Cartmel (25.4f, good to soft) following month. Merits consideration once more after a break.

C&D winner who comes here on the back of a recent spin on the Flat at Bath. No surprise to see him take a big step forward with that run under his belt.

9/2
A fairly useful 3m chase winner who recorded a solid fourth of 10 in handicap chase at Hereford (25.2f, good) in May. Much respected on his return.

A dual hurdles scorer at around 3m last season but he came in last of 8 to Craven Bay in handicap hurdle at Hereford (25.5f, good) 25 days ago. Blinkers go back on with work to do.

Boasts just the one win from 26 runs and, having left Eugene O'Sullivan, he didn't offer much on debut for this stable at Huntingdon in May. Has something to prove after his lay-off.

5/2
Low-mileage sort who came in a below-form eighth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Warwick (25f, good to soft) in May. Weighted to go well though if back on song for his return.

Dual winner over fences at Huntingdon at the start of 2023 but has been pulled up on all three outings last term. Others appeal more.

Lightly-raced hurdler/chaser who was pulled up over fences and hurdles on his final two runs last term. Back from 6 months off here with lots to prove.

It's now 21 runs since his last win in 2020 and he has been below par all 3 outings this term. 12 lb out of the handicap here too.

Forecasts

Ri Na Cuirte (5/2), Craven Bay (7/2), Fortuna Ligna (4/1), Heaven Smart (9/2), Wearapinkribbon (10/1), Ben Lilly (14/1), San Pedro (16/1), Endersen (50/1), Spotty Dog (80/1), Kingston Kid (100/1)

Verdict

Not as competitive as the numbers suggest and CRAVEN BAY is fancied to defy another 4 lb rise in the weights and go 3-3 for Toby Lawes. Cartmel runner-up Fortuna Ligna appeals as the one to chase him home ahead of Heaven Smart and Ri Na Cuirte.

  1. Craven Bay7/2
  2. Fortuna Ligna4/1
  3. Heaven Smart9/2
