Off time: 16:45 | Winning time: 3m 43.51s

Mind Hunter^b,t²⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: Elizabeth Gale⁽⁷⁾| T: B J Llewellyn| OR: 60

33/1

Ran poorly on latest Flat outing when last on handicap debut at Leicester in October. Arrives on the back of his best hurdles run for a while when runner-up in a 3m handicap hurdle at this course 25 days ago. Remains to be seen whether he can translate that form back onto the Flat.

Form: 7234/0-

Albert Lasker^p,t³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Christian Howarth⁽³⁾| T: Alice Haynes| OR: 59

25/1

Winner at Southwell in December but produced a lacklustre display (following 4 months off) on return to that track when 9/1, sixth of 7 in a handicap (14.1f) 30 days ago, finished tired. Hood removed but needs to bounce back over the longer trip back on turf.

Form: 281-846

Queen Of Steel²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Rob Hornby| T: F O'Brien| OR: 59| C| D

11/10

On the up for new yard, winning a brace of hurdles this spring and continued that progression back on the Flat, landing the double with a career best when winning 10-runner handicap at Pontefract (17.1f, good) 21 days ago, overcoming pace bias. Strong claims of completing cross-code 5 timer.

Form: 4294-11

Believe Jack^b,t⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 9-2| J: William Carson| T: Mrs A M Thorpe| OR: 57| D

100/1

Fair maiden on Flat in Ireland in 2021 but has operated as a hurdler since. Little impact in two hurdles starts for current connections and questions as to whether a return to the Flat will spark a revival.

Form: 08038/6

Cogital^h⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 9-1| J: David Probert| T: B J Llewellyn| OR: 56| CD

11/1

Failed to build on minor promise of previous run when fourth of 5 in handicap at this course (12f, soft) 8 days ago. Significantly up in trip but doesn't look the force of old.

Form: 3/0-6844

Fram Castle⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: J F Egan| T: D J S Ffrench Davis| OR: 56| D

2/1

Arrives in good heart having been a 2m winner at Kempton in June prior to finishing a creditable second of 10 in handicap over the same C&D 5 days ago, left poorly placed. Remains of interest, particularly if this a truly-run affair.

Form: 88-3012

(2)

Serotonin^b³⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: R Kingscote| T: P W Flynn| OR: 54

7/1

Fair maiden on the Flat in Ireland. Offered something to work with on second start for this yard over hurdles and likely needed the run returned to the Flat when seventh of 12 in a handicap at Tipperary (12.5f) 34 days ago. Interesting jockey booking and one to note in betting upped in trip.

Form: 8580/0-7

Adrian^b⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 8-9| J: Aidan Keeley| T: B J Llewellyn| OR: 50

8/1

Fourteen runs since last win in 2021. Wasn't seen to best effect when fourth of 6 in handicap at this course (14f, soft, 13/2) 8 days ago. Will need to improve on recent form.

Form: 450-734

Forecasts

Queen Of Steel (11/10), Fram Castle (2/1), Serotonin (7/1), Adrian (8/1), Cogital (11/1), Indigo Times (20/1), Albert Lasker (25/1), Mind Hunter (33/1), Believe Jack (100/1)

QUEEN OF STEEL is on an upward trajectory for Fergal O'Brien and can make it 5 wins in a row across both codes. Fram Castle arrives in good heart and will likely pose the biggest threat, while Serotonin may have needed the run on reappearance last month and could do better upped in trip.
