5/1

Finished second of 11 in handicap hurdle at Kelso (5/1) 22 days ago. Without a win in 22 races but could go well again after that encouraging effort.

Form: 3448-62

Wee Alki^p,t³³

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Conor Rabbitt⁽⁵⁾| T: S Corbett| OR: 98| CD

9/4

Went close twice at Kelso at the start of the season so wasn't winning out of turn when seeing off 9 rivals over C&D 33 days ago. Big shout again off 5 lb higher.

Form: 3-22041

Adveram^p²²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Callum Bewley| T: I A Duncan| OR: 96

4/1

Proving hit and miss, beaten early when 7th of 9 in handicap chase (6/1) at Kelso 22 days ago. Needs significant improvement switching back to hurdles.

Form: 2385-37

Superior Glance²⁸⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 11-6| J: Jack Hogan| T: G Hanmer| OR: 90

11/1

Lightly-raced 10-y-o maiden hurdler who posted her best effort when third of 5 in handicap at Bangor over this trip when last seen in February. 3 lb lower and could yet find a race.

Form: 1/64523-

Coventry⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-13| J: Peter Kavanagh| T: Miss L Harrison| OR: 83

4/1

Poor strike rate though was third of 10 in handicap hurdle at Ayr (16/1) 9 days ago, faring better than for some time.

Form: 468873

Moveonbuy¹⁶⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: Joe Williamson⁽³⁾| T: A Crook| OR: 83

16/1

Much improved when winning handicap at Cartmel (14/1) 166 days ago, coming from last to first and staying on well. Player if hitting the ground running.

Form: 664-471

West Lawn^p1²⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 10-5| J: Harry Reed| T: J Walton| OR: 75| CD

11/1

Rare run in this sphere although her 2 hurdles wins have come over C&D. Wouldn't completely dismiss having dropped a ton in the weights. First-time headgear.

Form: 33P-564

Solway Primrose⁹

Age: 11| Weight: 10-4| J: Charlie Maggs⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss L Harrison| OR: 74| CD

33/1

C&D winner in 2023 but pulled up at Ayr (33/1) 9 days ago, again showing little. Needs to recapture earlier form to be competitive.

Form: 4315/PP

Walk My Way^p1²²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-2| J: Alice Stevens⁽³⁾| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 69

28/1

Poor maiden hurdler, went with little fluency on return at Kelso 3 weeks ago. First-time cheekpieces now tried but hard to fancy.

Form: 62/P79-P

Forecasts

Wee Alki (9/4), Adveram (4/1), Coventry (4/1), Guernesey (5/1), Superior Glance (11/1), West Lawn (11/1), Moveonbuy (16/1), Walk My Way (28/1), Solway Primrose (33/1)

WEE ALKI looks capable of following up last month's C&D success. Guernesey, Cartmel winner Moveonbuy and West Lawn are others to consider.
