Fromheretoeternity^p,t¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: Sean Quinlan| T: J Candlish| OR: 117| CD

3/1

C&D winner who wasn't seen to best effect when second of 5 in handicap hurdle at Warwick (16f, good, 6/1) 14 days ago, set plenty to do. Holds very good claims.

Form: 21F4-32

Vocito^p,t²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Lewis Saunders⁽⁷⁾| T: O Murphy| OR: 117| CD

15/2

C&D winner but he came in just a fair third of 4 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (15.8f, good to soft) 24 days ago. Not ruled out in refitted cheekpieces.

Form: 51315-3

Sir Galahad²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-12| J: S Bowen| T: O Murphy| OR: 120| D

1/1

Went 3-3 for his current yard when readily landing the odds in 6-runner novice hurdle at Ffos Las (15.8f, good) 27 days ago. Has more to offer now going into handicaps.

Form: 1-11

Chicago Storm^p⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: Robbie David⁽⁷⁾| T: Daisy Hitchins| OR: 113

12/1

Arrives in good nick, fourth of 6 in handicap hurdle at Fontwell (17.7f, good) 8 days ago. Cheekpieces go back on and well in the mix.

Form: 12514-4

Honneur D'Ajonc^v²⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-6| J: James Turner⁽⁵⁾| T: A Gibbons| OR: 109

66/1

Scored at Stratford in March but only sixth of 7 in handicap hurdle at Warwick (21f, good to soft) 28 days ago on his final run for James Owen. Much more needed on his yard debut.

Form: 2213-26

Esteban⁵⁸⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: Bradley Harris⁽³⁾| T: H Dickin| OR: 109

66/1

A fairly useful 15f hurdles winner in France in August 2023. Starts out for his new yard here after 19 months off with his fitness to prove.

Form: P/

Wasthatok^t¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-11| J: Liam Harrison| T: Kerry Lee| OR: 100| BF

17/2

Winless since 2023 and he came in just sixth of 7 in handicap hurdle at Southwell (15.8f, good) 15 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Form: 8635-26

Scintillante¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-7| J: J J Burke| T: A Ralph| OR: 96| CD

11/1

Resumed winning ways over C&D in May but backed it up with a below-form fourth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (15.8f, good to soft) 13 days ago. Enters calculations though if shrugging off latest effort.

Form: 586-314

Forecasts

Sir Galahad (1/1), Fromheretoeternity (3/1), Vocito (15/2), Wasthatok (17/2), Scintillante (11/1), Chicago Storm (12/1), Honneur D'Ajonc (66/1), Esteban (66/1)

FROMHERETOETERNITY wasn't seen to ideal effect despite coming in second at Warwick recently so looks the way to go here. In-form Chicago Storm rates the chief threat to Jennie Candlish's C&D scorer, ahead of the Olly Murphy trained-duo Sir Galahad and Vocito.
