Off time: 13:56 | Winning time: 6m 12.48s

Johnson's Blue¹⁵⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: Tom Midgley⁽³⁾| T: M Walford| OR: 131| D

22/1

Eight-time winner over hurdles and left his reappearance run behind when only narrowly denied at Hexham (20.1f) in June. However, pulled up at Uttoxeter (23.3f, good) next time and has been absent 5 months since.

Form: U10/02P

Lavida Adiva²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-13| J: C O'Farrell| T: Ruth Jefferson| OR: 130

13/2

Successful twice last season, including listed mares' race at Kelso in March, and made a promising return from 7 months off when third in handicap at Ayr (24.3f, soft) 25 days ago, despite not getting the race run to suit. Can give another good account.

Form: 12412-3

Secret Trix^p,t¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-10| J: S Bowen| T: O Murphy| OR: 127| D

11/1

Fairly useful hurdler and similar form when runner-up twice over fences this season, unsuited by the emphasis on speed in 3-runner maiden at Newcastle (23.4f, good) in October, before left with a walk over at Kempton. Can give his running again back hurdling.

Form: 362U21

Lac De Constance¹⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 11-10| J: Liam Harrison| T: D Skelton| OR: 127

66/1

Lightly raced in recent times but was in the process of running well when falling at the last at Uttoxeter only start last season, still upsides the second at the time. However, after over a year off he ran poorly when pulled up at Bangor (19.6f, heavy) 2 weeks ago.

Form: 4653/F-P

Lihyan^h²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: William Maggs⁽⁵⁾| T: R Menzies| OR: 125| CD

4/1

Has won 5 times over hurdles for current connections, with latest success at Huntingdon (25f) in May. Has continued in good heart since, running well upped in grade when third at Newbury (24.3f, good to soft) 20 days ago, and he could be in the mix once more.

Form: 813733

Tranquil Sea^t²⁰

85/40

Encouraging second on stable debut, before proving better than when landing handicap at Chepstow (23.6f) last month. Wasn't in the same form at Newbury next time, but he's had a wind op since with tongue strap now reapplied. No surprise to see him bounce back.

Form: 94-P216

Hurricane Highway²⁷³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: Isabel Williams| T: Evan Williams| OR: 120

14/1

Winner on second start over hurdles but mixed form in chases, going backwards from last season's return when pulled up at Chepstow in February. Failed to revive back hurdling at Wetherby (24.1f, heavy) next time and others more persuasive after 9 months off.

Form: 32P/2P7-

C'est Different²⁷⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-6| J: Dylan Johnston⁽³⁾| T: S Thomas| OR: 109

9/4

Upped in trip for handicap bow, proved a different proposition when winning easily at Carlisle in February and had little trouble following up at Chepstow (19.4f, soft) 5 days later. Open to improvement on return, so he's a major player even as he goes up in in grade.

Form: 654711-

Forecasts

Tranquil Sea (85/40), C'est Different (9/4), Lihyan (4/1), Lavida Adiva (13/2), Secret Trix (11/1), Hurricane Highway (14/1), Johnson's Blue (22/1), Lac De Constance (66/1)

C'EST DIFFERENT showed much improved form sent handicapping last season, comfortably making it back-to-back wins when scoring at Chepstow in February, and he could still have more to offer upped in trip. He is taken to see off the challenge of Tranquil Sea, who can bounce back on only his fourth start for his leading yard, while Lihyan also enters calculations.
