7/1

Showed promise in a Huntingdon bumper before making a winning start over hurdles at Worcester (2m, good to soft) in May. Better form when fourth under a penalty at Newton Abbot on return but more needed again off this opening mark.

Form: 4-14

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: S Bowen| T: James Owen| OR: 109

5/6

Fairly useful bumper winner who stepped up on previous efforts over hurdles when making a winning handicap debut at Market Rasen 12 days ago. Can progress again so needs considering.

Form: 2123-41

Diamond Koda²¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Charlie Hammond| T: N Kent| OR: 107| BF

7/1

Proving very expensive to follow with his jumping always a concern, again finding one too good at Fakenham in April. Remains vulnerable for win purposes on return.

12/1

Won sole start in points in April 2024 and showing promise in fifth when fell last on his hurdling bow in 2m5f Warwick maiden in December. However, has gone backwards since and handicapper hasn't taken any chances. Off 7 months.

Forecasts

Nazare (5/6), Surrey Lord (11/4), Moab (10/3), Havefunontherun (7/1), Diamond Koda (7/1), Jacques Clouseau (12/1)

The progressive NAZARE justified support on his handicap debut at Market Rasen and can follow up with further improvement likely. Moab might be the danger.
