Off time: 15:12 | Winning time: 4m 32.09s

Emiyn²⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: C J Orr⁽³⁾| T: D Carroll| OR: 115| BF

4/6

A useful winner at 19f on Flat and showed fairly useful form when placed twice over hurdles (at up to 2m4f) at Aintree and Wetherby in early winter. Seemed unsuited by testing conditions on return to this sphere here last month and worth another chance.

Form: 23-2

Suleiman Artist⁵⁰⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Alan Doyle⁽⁵⁾| T: A B Hamilton

Modest form at best in a trio of bumpers for Nigel Twiston-Davies and no form both starts over hurdles for this yard. Off 16 months.

Wind Your Neck In^t¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Jonathan England| T: S England| OR: 105| BF

3/1

Fair form in this sphere but has been out of sorts back on the Flat of late so arrives with something to prove.

Form: 52-2

At Vimeiro⁵⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: R P McLernon| T: B Haslam

5/1

Fairly useful handicapper on Flat for Jane Chapple-Hyam. Sold for 34,000 gns later that month and in the process of making an encouraging hurdling debut when departing at the last over C&D 54 days ago, closing when clipped heels and unseated there. Sure to progress.

Form: U

Mornington Beach³⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: Jonathon Bewley| T: G Bewley

33/1

Kingston Hill mare with a decent pedigree. Made it third time lucky in Irish points in April and shaped better than the bare result when fifth in a Hexham bumper 5 weeks ago. Not taken lightly switched to hurdles.

Form: 331-5

Taktique Gagnante^p1¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: S Bowen| T: Dr R Newland

10/1

Showed some ability in bumpers and stepped up on hurdles debut when second of 4 in novice hurdle at Bangor (19.6f, good, 9/2) 17 days ago. Headgear on 1st time.

Form: U830-72

Forecasts

Emiyn (4/6), Jentobello (2/1), Wind Your Neck In (3/1), Jolie Coeur Allen (7/2), At Vimeiro (5/1), Taktique Gagnante (10/1), Captain Cool (16/1), Mornington Beach (33/1), Meetingofthewaters (66/1), Suleiman Artist (250/1)

JENTOBELLO was unbeaten in bumpers and can make a winning start in this sphere. At Vimeiro was in the process of making an encouraging hurdling debut when departing at the last here so may emerge as the biggest threat ahead of Emiyn, who ideally wants the rain to stay away.
