Jelski^v1⁷⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 12-0| J: Leah Noreci⁽¹⁰⁾| T: James Moffatt| OR: 100

33/1

Back-to-back winner at Cartmel last summer off higher marks but continues to operate below his best this term. Hard to side with.

Form: 6-37555

Dillarchie^p,t¹⁴⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: Tom Midgley⁽³⁾| T: Miss J E Foster| OR: 92

18/1

Scored at Sedgefield (27f) in February but not easy to catch right since, only sixth over C&D last time. Others appeal more.

Form: 14P-446

Fainche^t²⁰⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: B S Hughes| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 91| BF

20/1

Remains winless following 24 attempts but enede last term in good heart, runner-up in 3m Newcastle handicap in April. Very much one to consider after a lay-off with Brian Hughes back up.

Form: 4/P3232-

Twoplacesatonetime^p1³⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Aaron Anderson⁽⁵⁾| T: R Menzies| OR: 88

11/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Respectable seventh of 12 in handicap hurdle over C&D (good) 35 days ago. No forlorn hope with cheekpieces on for the 1st time.

Form: 37P3-P7

Beat The Boum¹⁸⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: Joshua Thompson⁽⁷⁾| T: Mrs J Stephen| OR: 87

22/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 22/1, very good fifth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Kelso (20.9f, good). Off 6 months but possibilities.

Form: 43P5-5

Boolamore Classic^p¹⁸⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Danny McMenamin| T: N W Alexander| OR: 86

10/3

Modest maiden hurdler. 17/2 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable tenth of 16 in handicap hurdle at this C&D (soft) 6 months ago. Needs to build on it on his return.

Form: P/248U-0

Colonel Manderson^b,t³⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: D R Fox| T: W Young Jnr| OR: 86| CD

80/1

Revived in first-time blinkers to cause a surprise over C&D in September 2023. Pulled up all 3 starts since, however, so it's easy to look elsewhere.

Form: 1PP5P-P

Bergentown³⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 10-11| J: Sean Quinlan| T: J Candlish| OR: 83

9/2

On a losing run but he posted a very good second of 11 in handicap hurdle at Southwell (24.3f, good to firm) 36 days ago. Has to be taken seriously nudged up 1 lb.

Form: 660-252

Dequall^b³⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 10-6| J: Peter Kavanagh⁽³⁾| T: W Coltherd| OR: 78| C

3/1

Course winner who comes here on the back of a good second of 12 in handicap hurdle over C&D (good) 35 days ago. This course winner can give another good account in his bid to end a lengthy losing sequence.

Form: 68-26P2

Atlanticexpress^t³⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-6| J: Conor Rabbitt⁽⁵⁾| T: Lizzie Quinlan| OR: 78

28/1

Well held on her debut for Joseph O'Brien at Punchestown in February and has offered little for her current yard, last of seven here (2m4f) 35 days ago.

Form: 565-87

Lady Hamilton¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-6| J: Ross Chapman| T: W Storey| OR: 78

15/2

Still a maiden and only eighth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Carlisle (20f, good to soft) 15 days ago. Hard to make a case for.

Form: 543338

Robert d'Ores^p,t¹⁰⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-2| J: Jonathon Bewley| T: G Bewley| OR: 72WS

10/1

Still a maiden but he posted a good sixth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Cartmel (25.4f, soft) 109 days ago. Has since had a wind op and not discounted with tongue strap also back on.

Form: PU-PP86

Forecasts

Dequall (3/1), Boolamore Classic (10/3), Bergentown (9/2), Lady Hamilton (15/2), Robert d'Ores (10/1), Twoplacesatonetime (11/1), Dillarchie (18/1), Fainche (20/1), Beat The Boum (22/1), Atlanticexpress (28/1), Jelski (33/1), Colonel Manderson (80/1)

BERGENTOWN rates the pick of these weights on the back of his very good Sedgefield second so edges the vote in this very open handicap. The returning Fainche could emerge as the main danger now renuited with Brian Hughes, although Dequall, Twoplacesatonetime and Beat The Boum all need factoring in too.
