Bollin Neil^t1,p⁴³

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: Charlie Maggs⁽⁷⁾| T: T D Easterby| OR: 100

8/1

Fair stayer on the Flat at best who relished the step up in trip when getting off the mark over hurdles at Catterick in January 2023. Posted a good second back there next time and ran creditably on his most recent Flat start in October.

Form: 52P512/

Clovis Boy^t,p¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-13| J: D R Fox| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 99| C

10/1

Bounced back to form to win a second handicap hurdle at Newcastle in March. Unseated his rider at the first in handicap chase at Carlisle (26.2f, soft) on his recent debut over fences and quickly reverts to hurdling. Cheekpieces back on.

Form: 1F4P1-U

Secret Secret^h,t¹⁰⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-11| J: Charlotte Jones| T: James Moffatt| OR: 97| BF

20/1

Resumed winning ways in convincing fashion at Cartmel in July. Ran to a similar level when second there (25.4f) the following month but returns from a break with his yard struggling badly at present.

Form: 14-5412

One Step Up^b1¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: Sam Coltherd| T: W Coltherd| OR: 89

33/1

Proved to be a disappointment when last of 8 in handicap chase at Musselburgh (20.3f, good to soft) on debut over fences 13 days ago. Makes a swift return to hurdling in first-time blinkers.

Form: 70-2P38

The Big Breac²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: Tom Midgley⁽³⁾| T: J Parkinson & S Smith| OR: 87

12/1

Has shown just poor form to date but at least gets a crack at a low-grade handicap now.

Form: 233/967

Gold Ring^p⁴³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: N Mechie| OR: 86

100/1

Made little impact in 4 runs over hurdles last season and lost his way on the Flat earlier this year. Hard to fancy.

Form: 0608-

Time Was¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-13| J: Joe Williamson⁽³⁾| T: P A Kirby| OR: 85

16/1

Creditable fourth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Musselburgh (23.8f, good to soft, 22/1) 12 days ago. Not taken lightly.

Form: 93P8-54

Beat The Boum³³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Danny McMenamin| T: Mrs J Stephen| OR: 84

6/1

Lightly-raced maiden who merely matched previous form when eighth of 12 in handicap hurdle at this C&D (good to soft) 33 days ago. More required.

Form: 43P5-58

Colonel Manderson^b,t³³

Age: 8| Weight: 10-11| J: Conor Rabbitt⁽⁵⁾| T: W Young Jnr| OR: 83| CD

100/1

C&D winner who is currently out of sorts, tailed off over C&D on most recent outing. Easy to look elsewhere.

Form: PP5P-P0

Don Brocco^b1¹⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 10-10| J: Bruce Lynn| T: Gary Rutherford| OR: 82

17/2

Poor maiden handicap chaser who wasn't disgraced when fifth of 13 at Carlisle (26.2f, soft) 10 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Blinkers on for 1st time.

Form: 2465-65

Lunar Glow³⁸¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-10| J: Ryan Mania| T: Paul Robson| OR: 82

9/1

Poor maiden. Fifth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (19.9f, heavy) on final run 12 months ago. Has left Gillian Boanas.

Form: 5666/45-

Reagrove Lord^v1,t¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-8| J: Edward Austin⁽⁵⁾| T: G Bewley| OR: 80

9/1

Poor maiden who ran creditably when fifth of 9 in handicap hurdle (10/1) at Musselburgh (23.8f, good to soft) 12 days ago. Visor on 1st time. Merits consideration.

Form: 5-53345

Dequall^b³³

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

11/1

Twenty five runs since last win in 2021 but again ran creditably when third of 12 in C&D handicap (good to soft) 33 days ago. Should remain competitive.

Form: 8-26P23

Robert d'Ores^t,p³³

Age: 7| Weight: 10-6| J: B S Hughes| T: G Bewley| OR: 78

4/1

Ran as well as he ever has after 4 months off when second of 12 in handicap hurdle at this C&D (good to soft) 33 days ago. One for the shortlist.

Form: U-PP862

Atlanticexpress^t³³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-5| J: Sean Quinlan| T: Lizzie Quinlan| OR: 77

18/1

Turned in her best effort in handicaps when sixth of 12 over C&D (good to soft) 33 days ago. More needed to play a leading role.

Form: 565-876

Teddy Mac²²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: Alan Doyle⁽⁵⁾| T: I A Duncan| OR: 74| BF

17/2

Went backwards from recent run when only seventh of 9 in handicap hurdle at Carlisle (24.6f, good to soft) 22 days ago. Bit to prove.

Form: P45-547

Forecasts

Robert d'Ores (4/1), Beat The Boum (6/1), Bollin Neil (8/1), Teddy Mac (17/2), Don Brocco (17/2), Reagrove Lord (9/1), Lunar Glow (9/1), Clovis Boy (10/1), Dequall (11/1), The Big Breac (12/1), Time Was (16/1), Atlanticexpress (18/1), Secret Secret (20/1), One Step Up (33/1), Colonel Manderson (100/1), Gold Ring (100/1)

ROBERT D'ORES ran as well as he ever has when second over C&D last month and is the percentage call to go one better. Time Was and Dequall are a couple of potential threats.
