Won Clonmel maiden hurdle for Willie Mullins last December but has found things harder since. Not disgraced both starts for this yard but didn't show much on chase bow back in May,

Quickly made into a fairly useful hurdler, scoring twice over 2m at Newcastle early in 2024. Showed aptitude for chasing after 19 months off when second over C&D 38 days ago and entitled to come on for that.

Age: 7|  Weight: 11-6| J: Charlotte Jones| T: James Moffatt| OR:  119
Dual hurdles winner who was a respectable third on chase debut in a Carlisle novice handicap in February. Disappointed when last seen at Cartmel in May, though, and probably worth taking on back from a 6-month break.

Age: 7|  Weight: 10-8| J: Danny Gilligan| T: G Elliott| OR:  100| CD
Proved a different proposition back over fences when gaining an impressive first success over C&D last week. Obvious claims under a penalty.

Southeyt8
Age: 5|  Weight: 10-5| J: Ben Smith(7)| T: S R B Crawford| OR:  100
Modest over hurdles and merely matched that form when 16¾ lengths fourth of 6 to Truckers Cruising on chase debut over C&D last week. 4 lb out of handicap.

Forecasts

Truckers Cruising (8/13), From The Clouds (9/2), Karafon (7/1), Southey (10/1), Great Pepper (10/1)

Verdict

TRUCKERS CRUISING was impressive over C&D last week and is hard to oppose under a penalty. From The Clouds shaped well back from a long absence here last month and is next best.
