Alba Crus¹¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: James Bowen| T: W Greatrex| OR: 100

5/1

Fairly useful bumper winner. Failed to build on earlier promise when fourth of 11 in novice hurdle at Newcastle 110 days ago, finishing tired. More needed after a break on his handicap debut.

Play On Court^b³³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: James Best| T: H Dickin| OR: 98

33/1

Lightly-raced maiden who was below par in second-time blinkers when sixth of 11 in novice hurdle at Chepstow (2m) 33 days ago. Up in trip now for his handicap debut.

Form: 06P46-

Lion Of The Desert^h¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: Joe Anderson⁽³⁾| T: G Harris| OR: 97| CD

7/2

Finally got off the mark in 7-runner handicap hurdle over C&D 14 days ago by 2 lengths from Mancero. Very much had the run of the race there so more is needed raised 3 lb.

This Sway^p¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: M Comley| OR: 91

15/2

Gained a breakthrough win at Southwell in March and in good nick since, third of 10 in handicap hurdle at Exeter 18 days ago. That form is working out well so he's expected to be bang there off a 2 lb lower mark.

Albert Park^t,v²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-5| J: James Davies| T: N J Hawke| OR: 77

20/1

Yet to win and tried visored for 1st time when a well-held fourth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Newton Abbot (2¾m) 21 days ago.

Form: 22/4649-

Mancero^b¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-3| J: Charlie Hammond| T: D Pipe| OR: 83

4/1

Fair hurdle winner in France. Best run for David Pipe when second of 7 to Lion of The Desert in handicap hurdle over C&D 14 days ago. In the mix nudged up 1 lb.

Form: 6P7442-

Mind Hunter^b,t¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 10-2| J: Harry Atkins⁽⁵⁾| T: B J Llewellyn| OR: 74

7/2

Thirteen runs since his last win in 2022 but off 5 months before posting a solid fourth of 10 in handicap hurdle over C&D 14 days ago. Possibilities.

Bells Of Ufford⁴⁰

Weight: 11-6| Age: 6

T: Tim Vaughan J: David Noonan

Kylenoe Dancer³⁹

Weight: 10-7| Age: 8

T: K Bailey & M Nicholls J: Thomas Bellamy

Forecasts

Lion Of The Desert (7/2), Mind Hunter (7/2), Mancero (4/1), Alba Crus (5/1), This Sway (15/2), Bells Of Ufford (8/1), Jukebox Joker (17/2), Kylenoe Dancer (10/1), Dublin To Milan (16/1), Makinbecon (20/1), Albert Park (20/1), Play On Court (33/1)

THIS SWAY looks the way to go given he can race off a 2 lb lower mark than when a good recent Exeter third (form working out well). C&D runner-up Mancero rates the main threat to Max Comley's in-form 5-y-o ahead of Bells of Ufford and Mind Hunter.
