Kosasiempre²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Charlie Hammond| T: S Edmunds| OR: 109| D

10/11

Dual 2m 4f hurdle winner at Market Rasen early this summer and proved herself a better chaser than hurdler at the first attempt when confidently ridden to score at Leicester 3 weeks ago. Can defy a 7 lb rise with more to come.

Form: 115231

Melusine De Pail²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: J J Burke| T: Noel Williams| OR: 106

4/1

Point winner who showed fair form when placed over hurdles. Decent start to chase career when third at Huntingdon last month and entitled to build on that.

Form: 223-833

Micronormous^p,t³³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: Jack Tudor| T: D Pipe| OR: 105| CD

7/1

Bumper winner but mixed record over hurdles this season after 16 months off. Made a winning start to chase career in weak event over C&D last month and will find this harder.

Form: 3-35641

Ede'iffs Rock²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Harry Kimber| T: W G M Turner| OR: 101| D

7/1

Consistent sort over hurdles, winning twice, including at Plumpton last month. However, was in the process of running below form switched to fences when falling at the last there 3 weeks ago.

Form: 15-441F

Cluain Aodha³¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: J M Quinlan| T: N B King| OR: 99

13/2

Fair handicap hurdler who belied unflattering odds sent chasing after 15 months off when good third at Uttoxeter early last month. Might have found next run coming too soon so worth another chance.

Form: 254F-34

Forecasts

Kosasiempre (10/11), Melusine De Pail (4/1), Cluain Aodha (13/2), Ede'iffs Rock (7/1), Micronormous (7/1)

KOSASIEMPRE already looks a better chaser than hurdler after her winning start in this sphere at Leicester and she looks capable of defying a 7 lb rise. Cluain Aodha is worth another chance to confirm chase debut promise so is feared most.
