Snapius^b¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Ben Bromley| T: James Owen| OR: 100

13/2

Largely struggled (in this sphere and on the Flat) after winning a Cork maiden hurdle for previous connections in March 2023. Little impact in 4 starts on the level since joining this yard and while James Owen is likely to find the key to him before long, others make more appeal on this occasion.

Form: 10/8PP-9

Brownstone^p,t³⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-11| J: Joe Anderson| T: G Harris| OR: 97

18/1

A fair 21f hurdles winner for Patrick Donoghue who signed off with a creditable fourth of 15 in claiming hurdle at Roscommon (20.6f, good to soft) in July. Well beaten back from a break for new connections at Stratford last month, though, and he's opposable following that low-key display.

Form: 1-45440

Upthereforthinking^p⁴²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-10| J: S Grantham⁽¹⁰⁾| T: J Coulson| OR: 96

80/1

Modest maiden over hurdles in Ireland for Gavin Cromwell and beaten 40+ lengths on all 3 starts since switching to this yard. Readily passed over.

Form: F-04746

Alioski^t⁸⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: Isabelle Ryder⁽¹⁰⁾| T: G Brown| OR: 95

14/1

Sole hurdles success came in 2m Worcester maiden in 2022 but has largely acquitted himself well since and notched third win on the Flat at Ffos Las when last seen in August. Went close at Huntingdon latest start in this sphere during the spring and he's one for the shortlist.

Form: 93/200-2

Dexperado^p²²²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: Tom Broughton| T: N Kent| OR: 92

11/4

Left low-key maiden/novice form behind upped to this trip/switched to handicaps (both at Market Rasen) with cheekpieces enlisted on final 2 starts of last season, finding just one too good on each occasion. Will be a danger to all, provided he is ready to roll following 7 months off.

Form: 6/60922-

Arctic Saint^t¹²³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: Chris Ward| T: Deborah Cole| OR: 89

4/1

Winless following half-a-dozen attempts between the flags and record under Rules stands at 0-7. Hopes pinned on the change of scenery (makes debut for new yard) sparking improvement here.

Form: 346-559

Lord Of All Saints^h,t²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Bradley Harris⁽³⁾| T: H Dickin| OR: 85

5/2

Signs of ability in junior/juvenile events last term and he took a step forward in this headgear combination when fourth of 14 on return/handicap debut at Chepstow (2m, good to soft). Likely to benefit from this stiffer test and he's one to consider.

Form: 4F46-4

Release The Kraken^v¹¹³

Age: 8| Weight: 10-8| J: Daire James McConville⁽⁵⁾| T: M Keighley| OR: 80

11/1

Posted best effort for a while when fourth in Southwell handicap in June but he was (unsurprisingly given his rather up-and-down profile) safely held at Uttoxeter next time. Record stands at 0-20 overall.

Form: P/P4-246

George Mallory¹⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 10-5| J: Dylan Johnston| T: C & A Pogson| OR: 77

12/1

Just 1 lb above the mark off which he opened his hurdles account at Uttoxeter (15.8f, good to soft) in July 2023. Arrives here on the back of a couple of creditable efforts in defeat over that C&D and should make his presence felt.

Form: 21-0334

Wheresmemoneygone⁷³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: Tabitha Worsley| T: M Young| OR: 66

150/1

Has looked limited in various company and 8 lb 'wrong' at the weights here.

Form: F-4P08

Forecasts

Lord Of All Saints (5/2), Dexperado (11/4), Arctic Saint (4/1), Snapius (13/2), Release The Kraken (11/1), George Mallory (12/1), Alioski (14/1), Brownstone (18/1), Upthereforthinking (80/1), Wheresmemoneygone (150/1)

The 4-y-o LORD OF ALL SAINTS left the strong impression that this step up in trip was very much in order when a creditable fourth on his handicap debut at Chepstow. He should come on for that seasonal reappearance and gets the nod ahead of Dexperado, who looks sure to pick up a race sooner rather than later judged on his Market Rasen efforts during the spring. George Mallory is also feared, while Alioski is also shortlisted.
