Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: R P McLernon| T: C E Longsdon| OR: 99

17/2

Lightly-raced maiden but he failed to build on earlier promise when seventh of 8 on his handicap debut at Doncaster (20.8f, good) 25 days ago. Not written off.

80/1

Still a maiden and she hung badly left before being pulled up in handicap hurdle at Huntingdon (20.7f, good) 15 days ago. One to avoid.

Form: 6535PP

Sailed Away^t²³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: Murray Dodd⁽⁷⁾| T: S Edmunds| OR: 90| D

11/4

Only twice raced this term but he shaped well when fourth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Market Rasen (20.6f, good) 23 days ago, fading late on. Well worth considering with that run under his belt.

Form: 2321-34

Ivane^p¹⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: G Sheehan| T: James Owen| OR: 88| BF

5/4

A fair ex-Irish 2m hurdles winner who made a promising start for his new yard when a clear second of 12 in handicap hurdle at Fontwell (21.8f, good) 10 days ago. Merits serious consideration off the same mark.

Form: 7503P2

Larkfield Lusive^p¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-8| J: Adam Wedge| T: L Morgan| OR: 79

9/2

Remains a maiden after 17 runs but he posted a good third of 13 in handicap hurdle at Hexham (16.2f, good to soft) 14 days ago. Cheekpieces back on and in the mix.

Form: 5567F3

Rock On Tommy^b,t²⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 10-7| J: S Bowen| T: O Murphy| OR: 78

9/1

It's now 13 runs since his last win in 2023 and he came in a below-form fifth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Huntingdon (15.8f, good to soft) 25 days ago, going in snatches. Up in trip with more required.

Ivane (5/4), Scorsese (15/8), Sailed Away (11/4), Larkfield Lusive (9/2), Shan't Wait (17/2), Rock On Tommy (9/1), Klapton Boy (10/1), Kap De Triomphe (16/1), Missy Mole (33/1), Flighttothestars (80/1)

IVANE shaped well when a clear second at Fontwell last week on his first run for the excellent James Owen and is fancied to go one better off an unchanged mark. Recent Sedgefield scorer Scorsese is feared most under a 7 lb penalty with Sailed Away, Klapton Boy and Shan't Wait all worthy of consideration too.
