Land Afar⁶⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 11-11| J: Conor Ring| T: D Bourne| OR: 117| BF

40/1

Won 1 of his 6 starts over hurdles for Kim Bailey yard but reportedly bled again when last home at Exeter latest and may be best watched on handicap debut for new connections here.

Form: 2/21255-

Twist Of Fatecatch³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Dylan Johnston⁽³⁾| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 113| BF

5/6

Promising type who opened account in Fontwell maiden in April and improved on that when very good third of 14 in handicap hurdle at Worcester (20f, good to soft) 30 days ago. May have more to offer yet.

Form: 4621-3

Mohawk Chief^p⁹³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: James Bowen| T: M Bowen| OR: 110

9/2

Fairly useful winner on Flat who posted best effort in this sphere when close third of 6 in novice hurdle at Market Rasen (20.6f, good) 93 days ago. Goes handicapping now and must enter calculations.

Form: 7233-

D'jo Dela Barriere¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: Miss Eleanor Williams⁽⁷⁾| T: Evan Williams| OR: 109

11/2

Bounced back to form when taking Plumpton handicap hurdle (20.5f) last month. Not in quite same form when third of 4 at this course (23.9f, good) since but can't be ruled out.

Form: 4886-13

New Found Fame^p⁴⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 11-2| J: R Patrick| T: Kerry Lee| OR: 108| D

6/1

Dual Bangor winner (at up to 19.6f) last season. Ended campaign with respectable seventh at Chepstow and is 1 lb lower now. Warrants respect.

Form: 421417-

Balkardy^p⁴⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-2| J: Isabel Williams| T: Evan Williams| OR: 108| C| D

14/1

Fared better than of late when good fifth of 9 in handicap chase at this course (23.8f, good to soft) 49 days ago. Figures off a handy mark but it's been some time since he performed well over the smaller obstacles.

Form: 377F45-

Forecasts

Twist Of Fatecatch (5/6), Mohawk Chief (9/2), D'jo Dela Barriere (11/2), New Found Fame (6/1), Balkardy (14/1), Land Afar (40/1)

TWIST OF FATECATCH has few miles on the clock and upped his game when third on handicap debut at Worcester last month. He makes fair appeal. Mohawk Chief rates the chief threat.
