Carlton^v²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: James Owen| OR: 93| BF

9/2

In good nick without winning over hurdles before landing Flat handicap at Chelmsford 27 days ago. Not taken lightly back in this sphere.

Form: 137323

Hairy Potter^p²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Harry Bannister| T: B I Case| OR: 90

28/1

Lightly-raced maiden who failed to improve sent handicapping when seventh of 10 at Chepstow (23.6f, soft) 26 days ago, finding test too much. Might still do better though back at this shorter trip.

Form: 57-8657

Ocean Walz¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Benjamin Poste| T: Mrs R Gasson| OR: 90

22/1

Little show over hurdles until posting an excellent second of 8 in handicap at Ludlow (21.2f, good to soft) 13 days ago. Needs considering nudged up 2 lb.

Form: 280-682

Pottersmattyeeehaa⁴⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: J M Quinlan| T: M Crawley| OR: 90| BF

4/1

Still to get his head in front but comes here in good nick, second of 12 in handicap hurdle at Warwick (19f, soft) 47 days ago. Up 2 lb but very much one to consider.

Form: 335432

For Old Times Sake²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: R P McLernon| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 89

13/8

Placed in Irish points. Fitted with a hood but failed to build on earlier promise when sixth of 9 on his handicap bow over 2m here 20 days ago. Headgear is quickly dispensed with and he remains with potential now stepped up in trip. Not without interest.

Form: 32-8786

Edna E Mode^p¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: Sean Houlihan| T: R Stephens| OR: 87

40/1

Fair form when twice in the frame in handicaps last spring. Looked rusty after 9 months off at Chepstow (19.4f, soft) 18 days ago and can take a step forward now.

Form: P452-48

Le Beau Gosse^p⁴³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: Craig Nichol| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 87

40/1

Tongue strap/cheekpieces on for first time when pulled up in handicap hurdle at Newcastle (23.7f, heavy) 43 days ago. In good hands but still a maiden under both codes.

Form: P5864P

Golly Gosh²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Tom Cannon| T: Billy Aprahamian| OR: 85

28/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 66/1, respectable seventh of 13 in 2m novice hurdle at Hereford 28 days ago. Goes back up in trip for his handicap debut and could still do better.

Form: 0-767

Global Eclipse⁴⁵⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Lee Edwards| T: C & A Pogson| OR: 85

125/1

Failed to go on in a trio of runs over 2m for Dan Skelton, seventh of 8 in juvenile hurdle at Warwick when last seen out 15 months ago. Has his fitness to prove on his yard/handicap debut after a long absence.

Form: 257-

Different Drum²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: L Allan| OR: 84

40/1

A modest winning stayer on Flat but he has shown little in all his 3 runs over hurdles. Needs this switch to handicaps to spark progress.

Form: 956

Dusky Spyglass^h²⁹⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: Tom Broughton⁽⁵⁾| T: M Murphy| OR: 81

200/1

80/1, tailed-off fourth of 5 in novice hurdle at Stratford when last seen 9 months ago. Goes into handicaps with plenty to find on form.

Form: PFUP/5-4

Saccary⁷⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 10-9| J: Jack Tudor| T: D Pipe| OR: 76

4/1

A fair 10f scorer on the Flat in Germany/France back in 2022/23 but well below that level over hurdles, including in handicaps. Handily weighted if back on his A-game though.

Form: 058-467

Huckleberry Sting^h,t1²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-8| J: Jack Andrews| T: T Ellis| OR: 75

10/1

Little show over hurdles for Dan Skelton in 2023/24 but won a point for Gina Andrews following year. Hooded and went too freely for his new yard when seventh of 11 in Southwell handicap over this trip three weeks ago. Remains likely to do better if he becomes more tractable. Tongue tie added.

Form: 790F/1-7

Lawsky³⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-5| J: Callum Pritchard⁽³⁾| T: James Owen| OR: 68

12/1

No impact in a pair of bumpers and it's been a similar story all three starts over hurdles for his current yard. Goes into handicaps now with lots to find.

Form: 00/45P

Forecasts

For Old Times Sake (13/8), Saccary (4/1), Pottersmattyeeehaa (4/1), Carlton (9/2), Huckleberry Sting (10/1), Lawsky (12/1), Ocean Walz (22/1), Hairy Potter (28/1), Golly Gosh (28/1), Different Drum (40/1), Le Beau Gosse (40/1), Edna E Mode (40/1), Global Eclipse (125/1), Dusky Spyglass (200/1)

This is wide open. FOR OLD TIMES SAKE fluffed his lines on his handicap debut here recently but with his trainer going well he is given another chance to build on earlier promise now his stamina is unlocked more and headgear is quickly dispensed with. Pottersmattyeeehaa seems sure to be on the premises but could again have to settle for minor honours, while resurgent Ludlow second Ocean Waltz and recent Flat scorer Carlton also need factoring in. Saccary completes the shortlist.
