Won twice over hurdles in early 2023. Back to that level when second of 4 in 19.5f Lingfield handicap last November but, having failed to fire in 2 subsequent starts, this 7-y-o now finds himself with a bit to prove.

airly useful bumper winner who made light of a 15-month absence to bag 7-runner novice hurdle at Wetherby (19.7f, heavy) in February. Unsuited by emphasis on speed when sixth at Cheltenham on final run of last season and needs to raise his game now pitched into a handicap.

Already a dual 19f hurdles winner and put in a good shift when runner-up on her reappearance at Bangor (19.6f, heavy). Should give it a good shot up 2 lb here with similar conditions forecast.

Unpromising in points but made a bright start over hurdles, winning a 17f Exeter novice on New Year's Day. However, rather disapppointing switched to handicap company next 2 starts and opposable back up in trip here following 9 months off.

Southwell maiden winner last December and made the frame both starts switched to handicaps during the spring. Failed to fire back in this sphere following last-fence exit on return/chase debut, but the forecast testing conditions here will aid his cause.

Improved for the fitting of cheekpieces, winning slow-ground handicaps over this C&D and at Hereford in January/February. Probably still in need of the run at Warwick recently, having exited early on when making his reappearance at Carlisle, and he's not discounted.

Irish point winner who was second in a Southwell bumper and duly built on hurdles debut promise when landing a 7-runner maiden at Cartmel (2¾m, good to soft) in May. Mark for this handicap bow looks fair and she should have a part to play if raring to go following a 6-month break.

Knocking on the door prior to deservedly winning a 7-runner Wincanton handicap (21.4f, heavy) in January. More miss than hit since, though, and others look stronger.

Ended a long losing run in 6-runner handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (2½m, soft) in May. However, failed to build on that next time and this veteran is opposable back from a break.

Forecasts

One Eye On Vegas (2/1), Tommie Gun (11/4), Shantwopointfive (13/2), Easy To Follow (13/2), Leading Choice (15/2), McGowan's Pass (16/1), Benassi (18/1), Rare Clouds (25/1), Storming Nelson (28/1)

Verdict

Provided she is ready to roll, the unexposed SHANTWOPOINTFIVE will have every chance of adding to her Cartmel maiden success when last seen in May. The form of that race is admittedly nothing special, but that doesn't detract from that the fact that this 6-y-o is promising and she has been handed a fair-looking mark for this handicap debut. Tommie Gun looks dangerous back on deep ground, while One Eye On Vegas is third on the list ahead of Easy To Follow.
