3YO plus | Class 5 | 2m 53y | 16 Runners | Turf

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: R T Dunne| T: A W Carroll| OR: 100

Still looking for first success and proved disappointing on final 2 starts for Fergal O'Brien. Likely best watched on debut for new yard here.

Form: 345577

Chevington⁵⁸⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Tom Broughton⁽⁵⁾| T: A Ralph| OR: 100

Posted best effort in this sphere when second of 6 in novice hurdle at Ludlow (15.8f, good to firm) 19 months ago. Not seen since, however, and market may prove best guide to claims on return/handicap debut.

Form: 78648/2-

Regal Cavalier²¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Charlie Hammond| T: M Young| OR: 100| D

Modest on Flat. Possibly flattered when runner-up in a slowly run race at Ludlow, failing to back up that effort when well-held fourth in 2m Worcester maiden in May. Will need to improve to defy a stiff opening mark on handicap debut.

Form: 82-4

New Invention^t³⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Toby Wynne| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 95

Ran with promise at Newcastle on hurdles bow in February but failed to progress in a couple of outings since and makes limited appeal now sent handicapping.

Form: 4-0P

East End Girl²⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-8| J: C Gethings| T: A Ralph| OR: 94| CD

C&D winner in 2023 who shaped as if needing the run, back from 16 months off, when sixth of 11 in handicap hurdle (9/1) at Ludlow (15.8f, good to soft) 26 days ago. Claims if building on that.

Form: 123/44-6

Daany^h⁶¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-6| J: Lorcan Williams| T: J Tickle| OR: 92| D

Three-time winner over hurdles in 2024. Not threatened in a trio of starts on level this year but warrants respect back over timber here.

Form: 59/4111-

Jack The Boss²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 11-5| J: Theo Gillard| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 91| D

Only seen twice since his Wetherby debut success last year and showed signs of temperament when well beaten at Sedgefield 26 days ago. Plenty to prove on handicap debut.

Form: 1-R5

Ezmerellda²⁷⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Shane Fenelon⁽⁵⁾| T: S-J Davies| OR: 88

Modest hurdler at best for Alan King who offered little on first outing since leaving that yard when a well-held fourth of 5 in handicap hurdle at Haydock (21.2f, good to firm, 25/1) in March. Off since.

Form: 2F/4544-

Bluenose Belle²⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Finn Lambert⁽³⁾| T: R T Phillips| OR: 88

Made a winning handicap debut at Fontwell in April and found a bit of improvement to follow up at Market Rasen 4 weeks later. Back from 7 months off when creditable second of 11 in handicap hurdle at Ludlow (15.8f, good to soft, 18/1) 26 days ago and holds solid claims here.

Form: 0431-12

Ten Ten Twenty^t⁴⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Jamie Brace⁽⁵⁾| T: D J Jeffreys| OR: 88| D

Won a brace of handicap hurdles (at up to 20.6f) in July 2024 prior to find only one too good in hat-trick bid at Bangor. Posted creditable third on Flat at Wolverhampton last month and well worth a second look now returning to hurdling.

Form: 36/2112-

Make Sunshine⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Ned Fox⁽⁵⁾| T: R Potter| OR: 88

Maiden under various codes who bettered her yard debut going from the front when third at this course (19.7f) back in March. Below that level on next 2 starts, however, and took a heavy fall on her recent return at Lingfield.

Form: 943-36F

Inion Tiogair^b¹⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: Joe Anderson⁽³⁾| T: G Harris| OR: 86| BF| D

Bumper winner who returned from a break in good nick, finishing a good second at Lingfield and Doncaster last month. Not in same form at Ludlow latest but can't be ruled out here.

Form: 784-225

Famoso²³

Age: 9| Weight: 10-12| J: Stan Sheppard| T: M Sheppard| OR: 84| CD

Yet to fire this season over hurdles or fences and tumbling down the weights as a result. Remains hard to recommend.

Form: 640P75

No Guarantee^v,t¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: James Turner⁽⁵⁾| T: A Gibbons| OR: 83| D

Belatedly off the mark when taking 6-runner novice claiming hurdle at Ludlow (15.8f, good to soft) 17 days ago. This is much more competitive but he warrants respect.

Form: 363891

Kotgar⁴⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: Isabel Williams| T: Evan Williams| OR: 83

Fair maiden on the Flat in France but regressed over hurdles last season and no signs of improvement more recently.

Form: 2P6-647

Now Then Wendy^t1²⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 10-9| J: Benjamin Poste| T: S Cameron| OR: 81

Fair Flat winner who posted her best effort over timber when fourth at Huntingdon (15.8f) in March. Not built on that in a couple of outings this term, though.

Form: P564-P8

Forecasts

Ten Ten Twenty (4/1), Bluenose Belle (5/1), Daany (6/1), Chevington (6/1), Inion Tiogair (8/1), Regal Cavalier (10/1), No Guarantee (10/1), East End Girl (12/1), Make Sunshine (16/1), Times A Wastin (25/1), Famoso (25/1), New Invention (25/1), Kotgar (25/1), Jack The Boss (25/1), Ezmerellda (25/1), Now Then Wendy (66/1)

TEN TEN TWENTY ran well on the level last month and returns to hurdling on a workable mark. He gets the nod. Bluenose Belle and Inion Tiogair head the list of dangers in a open-looking contest.
