Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Eoin Staples⁽⁷⁾| T: Gerald Quinn| OR: 99| D

11/1

Well-held fifth on chasing bow over C&D in May but a good third back hurdling at Downpatrick (18.8f, good to firm) 32 days ago. Needs a big step forward retried over fences now.

18/1

Thirteen runs since his last win in 2023 and he was pulled up in handicap chase over C&D (good to soft) 44 days ago. Tongue strap goes back on with plenty to prove.

Form: 5PP-42P

Raby Mere²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: S Bowen| T: O Murphy| OR: 97| BF

6/4

Made a promising start in this sphere when fourth of 9 in handicap chase at Uttoxeter (20f, good) 20 days ago, finishing well under considerate handling. This fair winning hurdler is very much one to be interested in here.

Form: 7-13124

Gina Moon²²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: Sam Ewing| T: G Elliott| OR: 93

14/1

Going the wrong way over fences, pulled up in handicap chase at Kilbeggan (20f, good to soft) 22 days ago, tailed off when pulled up after 4 out.

Form: 457-44P

Am Still Here^p²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: Sean Quinlan| T: N G Richards| OR: 88

7/2

Still a maiden but he posted a good third of 10 in handicap chase at Cartmel (21.2f, heavy, 9/2) 26 days ago, clear of rest. Can go well again nudged up 1 lb.

Form: 02-2223

Lights Are Green^p1²⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: Jonathon Bewley| T: G Bewley| OR: 85| D

16/1

Arrives well below par, a remote fourth of 9 in handicap chase at Cartmel (25.5f, good to soft) 28 days ago. Cheekpieces are reached for now.

Form: P56-6P4

Shantou Moon^b,t²²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: Peter Kavanagh| T: W Young Jnr| OR: 85

22/1

On a long losing run and he came in just seventh of 10 in handicap chase at Uttoxeter (26.1f, good) 22 days ago. Others are much preferred.

Form: 3-25P67

McGregors Charge³¹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-8| J: Toby Wynne| T: Ella Pickard| OR: 79

7/2

Remains winless but comes here in good nick, fourth of 10 in handicap chase at Uttoxeter (26.1f, good) 31 days ago. Merits consideration once more.

Form: 2-82324

Forecasts

Raby Mere (6/4), McGregors Charge (7/2), Am Still Here (7/2), Bayonetta (11/1), Gina Moon (14/1), Lights Are Green (16/1), Everyday Champagne (18/1), Shantou Moon (22/1)

RABY MERE shaped very well under a patient ride when fourth on his recent chasing debut at Uttoxeter and can build on it here to get off the mark in this sphere. In-form maidens Am Still Here and Mcgregors Charge appeal as the duo to chase home Olly Murphy's promising 6-y-o in that order.
