C'Est Quelqu'un¹⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: Alan Doyle⁽⁵⁾| T: A B Hamilton| OR: 93| D

9/1

Now 14 runs since his last win in 2023 but he was placed again when 4 lengths third of 10 to Kicksaftersix in C&D handicap (good) 17 days ago. Each-way claims again.

Form: 63533-3

Robert d'Ores^t,p¹⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-11| J: Jonathon Bewley| T: G Bewley| OR: 90| C| D

14/1

Has been successful in 23f handicap hurdles on his last 2 visits here, latterly returning from 4 months off to see off 8 rivals 17 days ago. Also runner-up in a C&D handicap 2 years ago but that's his sole completion in 5 attempts over fences.

Form: 86215-1

Kicksaftersix¹⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 11-11| J: Sean Quinlan| T: M Todhunter| OR: 90| CD

7/2

On a C&D hat-trick after wins last month and 17 days ago. Drew clear late on last time in a style which suggests a further 5 lb rise may not stop him.

Form: 22541-1

Dr Shirocco¹⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 11-8| J: C O'Farrell| T: Miss S E Forster| OR: 87| CD

12/1

Successful over C&D last May and got his head back in front at Musselburgh in November. Unseated over C&D 17 days ago but he is back on a good mark if putting his best foot forward.

Form: 14566-U

Halfway House Lad^t³⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Charlie Price⁽³⁾| T: M A Barnes| OR: 81| BF| CD

2/1

Arrives at the top of his game and did plenty in front when denied only by the patiently-ridden Kicksaftersix when bidding for the hat-trick over C&D last month. Building up a solid record here and remains of interest.

Form: 943112-

Donny's Fortune^t¹⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 10-10| J: R T Dunne| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 75| D

9/2

Dual point winner who offered little in 4 hurdles last season. Fared a bit better when fifth of 12 on 3m Uttoxeter chase debut 17 days ago but needed to see more to make him of interest.

Form: 38P7P-5

Muroor^p¹⁷

Age: 12| Weight: 10-7| J: Danny McMenamin| T: Lizzie Quinlan| OR: 72

20/1

Veteran on a long losing run. Fared better than of late when 5½ lengths fifth of 10 to Kicksaftersix over C&D (good) 17 days ago but it's still likely the wait for a next win will go on.

Form: 3967P-5

Lady Hamilton¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-6| J: Peter Kavanagh⁽³⁾| T: W Storey| OR: 71

9/1

Remains a maiden after 18 runs and well beaten on her completed start over fences this spring.

Form: 85857-F

Forecasts

Halfway House Lad (2/1), Kicksaftersix (7/2), Donny's Fortune (9/2), C'Est Quelqu'un (9/1), Lady Hamilton (9/1), Rob Roy Macgregor (10/1), Dr Shirocco (12/1), Robert d'Ores (14/1), Muroor (20/1)

KICKSAFTERSIX is taken to defy the handicapper again and complete a C&D hat-trick. Halfway House Lad is another who arrives on the back of good efforts over C&D and can chase the selection home again. Dr Shirocco completes the shortlist.
