13/2

Back to best when narrow winner at Wetherby on final start last season. Starting out in a weaker race so player if ready to go.

Felton Bellevue^p,t²⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 11-11| J: Mr Charlie Case⁽⁷⁾| T: B I Case| OR: 95| CD

12/1

Often gives his running but last 2 starts were poor, including on return. Something to prove now.

Form: 5134P-7

Dunworley^p,t²⁶⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 11-9| J: Tom Broughton⁽⁵⁾| T: N Kent| OR: 93

7/1

Has responded well to headgear/tongue strap combination, scoring at Leicester in the spring. Inevitably hit hard for that wide-margin victory (raised 11 lb), but he doesn't have many miles on the clock for a horse of his age.

Form: 7/34421-

Seasmoke^t²⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: G Sheehan| T: Billy Aprahamian| OR: 91| C

10/3

Winning hurdler who shaped with plenty of encouragement sent chasing when third at Stratford on return. Big shout with improvement on the cards.

Form: 4/143P-3

Midnight Gold^p,t²⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-6| J: C O'Farrell| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 90

15/2

Lightly raced since a hurdles win at Southwell in June 2023 and hasn't offered much this season, possibly flattered at Fakenham last time.

Form: 43-P9U4

Hawkseye View^t¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: Danny McMenamin| T: J Parkinson & S Smith| OR: 87

5/4

Point winner but still a maiden under Rules, often let down by jumping. However, is off a career-low mark and made and encourging comeback when third at Huntingdon.

Form: 5U335-3

Forecasts

Hawkseye View (5/4), Seasmoke (10/3), Mixedwave (13/2), Dunworley (7/1), Midnight Gold (15/2), Kings Justice (10/1), Felton Bellevue (12/1)

SEASMOKE made an eye-catching debut over fences when third at Stratford on return so gets the vote up against exposed rivals. Mixedwave won a better race than this at Wetherby when last seen in March and looks the obvious threat under top weight.
