Chankaya^p²⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Cameron Iles⁽³⁾| T: Tim Vaughan| OR: 105

16/1

Improved when opening his account under Cameron Iles in a 12-runner Taunton handicap (19f, soft) on final start for Mitchell Hunt in February. However, he was soon done with on return/debut for new yard at Uttoxeter, a poor effort even allowing for the fact that the run may have been needed.

Form: 48261-0

Just Chasing May²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Callum Pritchard⁽⁸⁾| T: B Pauling| OR: 95| BF

3/1

Looked one to follow in opening his account in thoroughly dominant fashion at Uttoxeter (2½m, good to soft) in June and has followed that with solid efforts in defeat at Southwell and Huntingdon. Edging up the weights but that's justified and he looks set for another leading role.

Form: 74-F122

Hurst Hill²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Daniel Sansom| T: J W Mullins| OR: 91

40/1

Placed in a couple of mares' novice events at Newton Abbot during the summer (both at around 17f) but has failed to build on those efforts since returning from a break last month, including on handicap bow at Fontwell last time. Needs to get back on track now faced with a stiffer test.

Form: 6-73369

Twp Stori⁴¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-7| J: Ned Fox| T: S Drinkwater| OR: 84

5/6

Steadily progressive sort who went close in a 4-runner affair over this C&D in February prior to going one better at Fontwell the following month. Didn't shape at all badly over an inadequate trip on return at Uttoxeter (15.8f, good to soft) and a bold show could be on the way.

Form: 5321-25

Endersen²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 10-6| J: Tabitha Worsley| T: R Rowe| OR: 83

33/1

Remains a maiden following 8 appearances in various race-types under Rules (also 0-4 between the flags) and it's easy enough to look elsewhere.

Form: 24/9PP-5

Ray's The One³⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 10-2| J: Bradley Harris| T: M Pattinson| OR: 79

40/1

It's been a while since he last put his best foot forward and others make more appeal.

Form: 49-8565

Getaway With You^v²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: Alice Stevens| T: Billy Aprahamian| OR: 78| BF

4/1

Still to win but he has taken his form up a notch for his current yard, a strong-travelling second of 13 in handicap hurdle at Ffos Las (3m, soft) last month. Bad mistake proved costly at Huntingdon next time and he remains of interest.

Form: 63-2628

Engaging Sam^p²⁸⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-2| J: Caoilin Quinn| T: P Butler| OR: 72

50/1

Produced much his best effort to date when third to a progressive type over this C&D on his final start of last season. However, it remains to be seen if he will build on that and being 7 lb 'wrong' at the weights is no help.

Form: 8P/8863-

Forecasts

Twp Stori (5/6), Just Chasing May (3/1), Easter Icon (7/2), Getaway With You (4/1), Chankaya (16/1), Endersen (33/1), Ray's The One (40/1), Hurst Hill (40/1), Engaging Sam (50/1)

TWP STORI was steadily progressive last season and may well have more to offer this time round judged on his encouraging reappearance spin at Uttoxeter where the drop to 15.8f counted against him. The 6-y-o shades preference ahead of Easter Icon and Just Chasing May, while Getaway With You also enters calculations.
