9/2

Dual bumper/hurdles winner for Jimmy Moffatt. 0-6 over fences but made decent start for this yard when not beaten far at Uttoxeter and Market Rasen. Needs considering in first-time headgear.

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: A J Honeyball| OR: 120| CD

4/1

Dual hurdles winner earlier this season. Prone to mistakes over fences But added to tally back in this sphere over C&D/Worcester in recent months. Good second of 3 back over C&D since.

Form: 113112

Bond Broker^h¹⁶⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-13| J: H Cobden| T: P F Nicholls| OR: 119| D

11/4

Followed up bumper success with back-to-back hurdle wins but disappointed when turned over at odds-on at Ludlow in April, hung left and carried head awkwardly. Point winner but pulled too hard when stepped up in trip on chase bow following month. Worth another chance back down in distance.

Form: 71/112-2

Hystery Bere^b,t²⁰¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Benjamin Poste| T: T Symonds| OR: 118| BF| D

22/1

Fairly useful hurdle/chase winner but on a losing run. Mixed record last season, shaping as if amiss on his final start. Has gone well fresh and tongue strap re-fitted.

Form: P3522P-

Quantock Hills¹⁸⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: James Bowen| T: W Greatrex| OR: 122

13/8

Fairly useful winner in France and good start for this yard with victories at Fontwell and Cheltenham (dead-heated on latter occasion). Highly tried after but ran well when fifth in competitive Sandown handicap final start. Respected on chase bow/return.

Form: 211505-

Universal Secret¹⁹³

Age: 8| Weight: 10-2| J: Brendan Powell| T: Mrs H R J Nelmes| OR: 80

28/1

Modest winning hurdler whose record over fences last season has been patchy. Stiff task on return from a long way out of the handicap.

Form: 522P43-

Forecasts

Quantock Hills (13/8), Bond Broker (11/4), Breaking Cover (4/1), Lunar Discovery (9/2), Hystery Bere (22/1), Universal Secret (28/1)

LUNAR DISCOVERY's stamina was possibly stretched at Market Rasen 2 weeks ago and is worth another chance to build on her promising comeback/debut for this yard when third at Uttoxeter. Hystery Bere has gone well fresh and his yard's 2 runners at Cheltenham last week were placed in competitive handicaps, while chase debutant Quantock Hills kept good company over hurdles.
