Ended his time with Henry de Bromhead on a lesser note and no promise for current yard. Now tried in blinkers for first time.

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: B S Hughes| T: P Neville| OR: 90

7/1

Came good over hurdles in a first-time tongue tie at Ayr (20.5f) in February. Not in the same form since, however, and has something to prove on chase debut.

Am Still Here^p²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Sean Quinlan| T: N G Richards| OR: 87

9/2

Runner-up twice over hurdles earlier this year and has also found just one too good in 3 starts in this sphere, latest over C&D (heavy) 24 days ago. Raised 3 lb since but looks sure to make another bold bid.

Form: 202-222

Jelski^p²

Age: 11| Weight: 11-5| J: Charlotte Jones| T: James Moffatt| OR: 86| CD

10/3

Chased home Judicial Review over 25.5f here and then shaped encouragingly over same C&D on Saturday, left with too much to do but seeing things out much better than previously. Could have another race in him.

Form: 790-363

Mr Mcwhinny²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: J G Gilligan⁽⁵⁾| T: P J Gilligan| OR: 86

11/1

Modest form at best over hurdles but some encouraging signs over fences of late, seeming not to stay over 25.5f here on Saturday.

Form: 9-77UF5

Wearelongterm^p²⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: Henry Brooke| T: Mrs Dianne Sayer| OR: 85

6/1

Fallen down the weights and posted best effort for while when third of 7 in handicap chase over C&D (heavy) 24 days ago, finishing with running left. 1 lb lower now and merits consideration.

Form: 28PP6-3

Judicial Review^b,t²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: Danny McMenamin| T: James Moffatt| OR: 84| CD

7/1

Bounced back to form when winning 8-runner handicap chase at this course (25.5f, soft) last month but typically failed to back that up back here on Saturday.

Form: 41-961P

Follow Your Arrow²⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 10-12| J: Jonathon Bewley| T: G Bewley| OR: 79

6/1

In good form at Hexham this summer, placing 3 times. Still in touch when departing 5 out here latest and is likely to be in the mix again.

Forecasts

Jelski (10/3), Am Still Here (9/2), Defence Witness (5/1), Wearelongterm (6/1), Follow Your Arrow (6/1), Judicial Review (7/1), Upfordebate (7/1), Pilgrims King (7/1), Mr Mcwhinny (11/1), Derracrin (16/1), Deadheat (40/1), Innovated (80/1)

Preference is for WEARELONGTERM, who figures off a handy mark and showed the benefit of a breathing operation when posting a good third here last month. Am Still Here and Follow Your Arrow head the list of dangers.
