Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Fergus Gillard| T: D Skelton| OR: 119| D

4/1

Lazy sort but a 3-time hurdles winner for Alan King and good claims on September Newton Abbot third for this yard now he goes chasing in thin contest. Headgear retained.

Form: 6-7730P

Gyenyame²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Brendan Powell| T: J Tizzard| OR: 116

2/7

Fairly useful Flat/hurdles winner who has the size to make a chaser and made a pretty encouraging start in a well-contested handicap over this trip at Chepstow on return. Should have learnt plenty from that and obvious claims in this company.

Form: 24350-6

Universal Secret²²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Lorcan Murtagh| T: Mrs H R J Nelmes| OR: 81

12/1

Modest winning hurdler who hasn't really convinced in 2 tries over fences and will need the other two to bomb out if he's to score.

Form: PF8-065

Forecasts

Gyenyame (2/7), Forever William (4/1), Universal Secret (12/1)

GYENYAME made a pretty encouraging start over fences in a well-contested Chepstow handicap on his return and this is much easier so he holds obvious claims with improvement on the way. Forever William is closely matched with him on hurdles form and can put up a bold display if he fancies it.
