Dartmoor Pirate²⁵¹

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: J J Burke| T: A J Honeyball| OR: 121

6/1

Made mistakes when well held on his chasing bow at Exeter last December and failed to build on a very good Wincanton 3m hurdling second subsequently. Has another go over fences now with something to prove.

Form: 42/6250-

Castelfort²³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-13| J: C Gethings| T: Mrs J Williams| OR: 120| C

5/2

A fairly useful winning hurdler who hinted at promise after 8 months off when fifth of 11 in handicap at Newton Abbot (21f, soft) on his debut over fences 23 days ago. Can take a step forward now.

Form: 6/013P-5

Sheldon²¹⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 11-13| J: Benjamin Macey⁽⁷⁾| T: J W Mullins| OR: 120| D

25/1

A dual Wincanton chase winner in 2023/24 but winless last term when let down by his jumping. Others make more appeal.

Form: 17/73F5-

Ben Solo¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: Jamie Brace⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss R Curtis| OR: 117| C

3/1

A successful Irish pointer who also showed fairly-useful 2m winning form over hurdles. Resumed from 7 months off with an encouraging fifth of 10 in 2m handicap here on his debut over fences 16 days ago. Needs considering now back up in trip with that run under his belt.

Form: 82228-5

Astronomic View^p²⁸⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: Sean Houlihan| T: Mrs S Gardner| OR: 114

22/1

A fairly useful staying hurdler who wasn't discredited on just his second run over fences when third of 5 in handicap over C&D in February. No forlorn hope despite his 9-month lay-off.

Form: 4/389F3-

Genietoile⁶⁷⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: Paul O'Brien| T: Miss R Curtis| OR: 113

9/1

Point winner who showed fair form over hurdles in 2023/24 without getting his head in front. Goes chasing after 22 months off now so has his fitness to prove.

Form: 455482/

Devon Dude²¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: Conor Ring| T: Evan Williams| OR: 113| BF| C

9/1

Failed to add to his debut bumper victory over hurdles but proved a consistent sort and signed off last season with a good second in 2m4f Ffos Las novice in April. Not ruled out starting out over fences here.

Form: 437222-

Petty Cash³⁶⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-3| J: Stan Sheppard| T: H D Daly| OR: 110| C

5/1

Gained a first win in this sphere (on the back of breathing surgery) in 3m handicap here 12 months ago. Absent since but still can't be totally dismissed.

Form: FFP3/21-

Juracique⁷⁸⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: Miss V Williams| OR: 109

22/1

A fairly useful hurdler/chaser in France in 2023/24. Starts out for Venetia Williams here after a 2-year absence but potentially well handicapped so got to be of interest.

Form: 542478/

Forecasts

Castelfort (5/2), Ben Solo (3/1), Petty Cash (5/1), Dartmoor Pirate (6/1), Genietoile (9/1), Devon Dude (9/1), Astronomic View (22/1), Juracique (22/1), Sheldon (25/1)

Not the easiest of handicaps to assess but Venetia Williams' fairly useful French recruit JURACIQUE could be starting life here on a lenient mark so is taken to defy a long absence at the chief expense of Evan Williams' chasing newcomer Devon Dude. Ben Solo could take a sizeable step forward from his recent fifth here now his stamina is unlocked more and is also in the mix along with returning duo Astronomic View and Petty Cash.
