Make Sunshine²¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Freddie Keighley⁽⁷⁾| T: R Potter| OR: 88

22/1

Maiden under various codes who bettered her yard debut going from the front when third at Hereford (19.7f) back in March. Not operating at same level either outing at up to 22f in May but she's certainly no forlorn hope back from a break operating from career-low mark.

Form: 2943-36

The Brickey Ranger²⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: Daniel Sansom⁽³⁾| T: J W Mullins| OR: 87

16/1

Winning pointer who was runner-up in a hunter chase at Tramore in spring of 2024. However, lightly raced and not at same level over hurdles since, albeit possibly in need of run following 14 months off when eighth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Fontwell (21.8f) 27 days ago. Others more appealing.

Form: 22/260-8

Getaway With You^p,t⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: Nick Slatter⁽³⁾| T: D Killahena & G McPherson| OR: 85| CD

13/8

Finally off the mark in a race that fell apart over C&D last month and didn't need to improve when following up under a penalty in 3-runner novices' handicap at Leicester (20.5f) 9 days ago, clear from 2 out. Definite possibilities again in hat-trick bid up 4 lb.

Form: 455211

Kankin^p²¹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-7| J: Jamie Brace⁽⁵⁾| T: A M Hales| OR: 83| D

5/1

Two-time chase winner who stepped up on his reappearance effort without getting back to top form when fifth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Huntingdon (19.6f) on penultimate run. However, not in same form when well-beaten third back over fences at that venue 21 days ago.

Form: P-24653

Simon The Seagull^b¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-9| J: M Goldstein| T: Mrs D Grissell| OR: 71

9/2

Minor promise equipped with blinkers when third over 2m here in January. Disappointed next 2 starts but he did show up well for a long way following 7 months off when fourth behind Getaway With You in a C&D handicap 16 days ago. Now his task is to build on that.

Form: P/933P-4

Engaging Sam^p¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 10-9| J: Caoilin Quinn| T: P Butler| OR: 71

33/1

Showed he can be competitive from a basement mark when third of 10 at this course (23f) in February 2024, but he hasn't been able to match that since and following 8 months off he finished a well held when sixth of 9 behind Getaway With You in handicap at this C&D 16 days ago. Passed over.

Form: 63/5P5-6

As Good As Can Be^t¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-6| J: Alice Stevens⁽³⁾| T: Miss C Dyson| OR: 68

80/1

No impact between the flags or under Rules to date, the marked increase in trip of no relevance after 8 months off when pulled up in 8-runner handicap at Southwell (24.3f) 18 days ago, Passed over returned to this shorter distance.

Form: 9P7P8-P

Court One¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-5| J: James Davies| T: R Rowe| OR: 66

5/2

Offered little in trio of qualifying hurdle runs spread over 12 months but there was at least minor progress when 12 lengths second behind Getaway With You on C&D handicap debut 16 days ago. Could build on that given he's one of the least exposed in this field.

Form: U/4P-62

Forecasts

Getaway With You (13/8), Court One (5/2), Simon The Seagull (9/2), Kankin (5/1), Bollin Thou (5/1), The Brickey Ranger (16/1), Make Sunshine (22/1), Engaging Sam (33/1), As Good As Can Be (80/1)

GETAWAY WITH YOU has transformed his fortunes of late, supplementing last month's breakthrough C&D victory with a commanding 13-length success at Leicester. He may well be up to defying a further 4 lb rise to bring up the hat-trick. Make Sunshine was below her best when last seen but the pick of her exploits gives her claims, while Court One showed improvement when finishing second to the selection at this course recently.
