Girl Of Gold¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 12-0| J: Ben Bromley⁽⁵⁾| T: James Owen| OR: 100

10/3

Fair maiden who posted a good second of 9 in novice hurdle at Sedgefield (19.8f, soft) 17 days ago, clear of rest. Very much one to consider now going into handicaps.

Form: 554-22

Smile Back^h³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Finn Lambert⁽³⁾| T: R T Phillips| OR: 99

11/4

Irish point scorer who also landed a Carlisle bumper last December. Has been brought along steadily over hurdles, hood added when a patiently-ridden ninth in 2m Uttoxeter novice 30 days ago. Interesting now sent handicapping with her stamina unlocked more.

Form: 11854-9

Keep It Cool^b¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Alex Chadwick⁽³⁾| T: James Owen| OR: 92

5/1

A fair maiden hurdler for John Joseph Hanlon. Had usual headgear left off for her yard debut when beating only one in 2m4f handicap at Huntingdon 19 days ago. Blinkers go back on now and no surprise to see her bounce back.

Form: P90937

Pooley's Promise¹⁸⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: R Potter| OR: 84

18/1

Got off the mark at Ffos Las (3m) and backed it up with a solid fourth of 7 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (23.3f, good to soft) later in May. Needs considering on her return.

Form: B65P-14

Shesupincourt²³

Age: 8| Weight: 10-7| J: Benjamin Poste| T: R Potter| OR: 78| CD

15/2

Unreliable sort who arrives below par, fifth of 11 in handicap chase at Hexham (24.2f, good to soft) 23 days ago. Reverts to hurdles but others are more persuasive.

Form: 242-855

Stamina Chope¹

Age: 9| Weight: 10-5| J: Lee Edwards| T: Dave Roberts| OR: 76| D

5/2

Winless since 2023 but she comes here in good nick, second of 9 in handicap hurdle at Plumpton (25f, heavy) 41 days ago. Can go well again off the same mark. Engaged 1.47 Bangor Saturday.

Form: 5-73422

Annie Nail¹³

Age: 8| Weight: 10-2| J: Mr J Stevenson⁽⁷⁾| T: Tracey Leeson| OR: 72| D

80/1

Won a small-field handicap over fences at Fakenham in May but she's been below par since, last of 6 in handicap hurdle at Plumpton (25f, good) 13 days ago. Not easy to make a case for.

Form: 133546

Forecasts

Stamina Chope (5/2), Smile Back (11/4), Highbury Hill (3/1), Girl Of Gold (10/3), Keep It Cool (5/1), Shesupincourt (15/2), Pooley's Promise (18/1), Annie Nail (80/1), Porridge (100/1)

A few with chances but point/bumper winner SMILE BACK appeals as the sort to take a sizeable step forward now sent into handicap company so gets the vote from in-form maiden Highbury Hill. James Owen's pair Girl of Gold and Keep It Cool command plenty of respect too in a competitive event.
