Copper Cove^t,p1²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: Benjamin Macey⁽⁶⁾| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 105

13/2

Off 10 months before a fading seventh of 10 in handicap hurdle at Leicester (15.5f, heavy) 21 days ago. This fair 2m1f winner can take a step forward now now with cheekpieces on for 1st time.

Form: 72124-7

Through The Ages¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Rob Hargreaves⁽⁶⁾| T: G & J Moore| OR: 105| D

7/2

Hinted at a revival when seventh of 14 in handicap hurdle (14/1) at Huntingdon (20.7f, soft) 19 days ago. Back down in trip. Weighted to go close off a 3 lb lower mark here.

Form: 84-75P7

Double Oban²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Lewis Saunders⁽³⁾| T: O Murphy| OR: 103| BF| D

4/1

Lightly-raced sort who made it 2 wins from his last three runs in 2m Market Rasen handicap last month. Can go well again despite a 3 lb weights rise.

Form: 43121

Blue Universe¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: James Turner| T: M J Attwater| OR: 100

40/1

Pulled up in handicap hurdle at Sandown (19.8f, soft) 18 days ago. Needs to bounce back if he's to end a long losing run.

Form: 4342-4P

My Friend Sean^t,p¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Cameron Iles⁽³⁾| T: T Lacey| OR: 100| D

6/4

Arrives on a hat-trick after a pair of 2m wins at Uttoxeter recently. Hiked up 9 b but he's not taken lightly in his current mood.

Form: 7-53811

Bobby's Fortune²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Ellis Collier⁽³⁾| T: Evan Williams| OR: 96| D

14/1

17/2, failed to get home when ninth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Exeter (21.6f, heavy) 29 days ago. Back down in trip so can't be dismissed.

Form: 316-P49

Roi De Baviere^t1⁴⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: Fern O'Brien⁽³⁾| T: F O'Brien| OR: 104

12/1

Modest maiden on the Flat. Best run in this sphere when third of 5 in juvenile hurdle at Fontwell (17.7f, soft) 47 days ago. Tongue strap on for handicap hurdle debut and can't be discounted for good yard.

Form: 323

Mi Sueno¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: Daire Davis| T: P Butler| OR: 88| D

40/1

Bagged handicaps at Fakenham and at Plumpton last winter but well held in a pair of Flat handicaps in early summer and has offered litttle in a trio of starts over hurdles this season. Best to look elsewhere.

Form: 1P6-065

Forecasts

My Friend Sean (6/4), Through The Ages (7/2), Double Oban (4/1), Copper Cove (13/2), Highway One O Five (10/1), Roi De Baviere (12/1), Bobby's Fortune (14/1), Blue Universe (40/1), Mi Sueno (40/1)

This is wide open so it could pay to side with THROUGH THE AGES who took a step back in the right direction when seventh at Huntingdon last time and can now capitalise on a reduced mark. Market Rasen scorer Double Oban rates the obvious danger, although My Friend Sean, Roi de Baviere and Copper Cove all need factoring in too.
