5/4

A C&D winner last summer. Fourth of 7 in handicap hurdle at Haydock (2m, good to soft, 9/1) in April. Gets the cheekpieces refitted here. Has dropped to below last winning mark and is one to take seriously with Bowen back in the saddle.

9/2

Latest success was back in September 2023 over fences but showed he retains a chunk of ability when placed over hurdles at Haydock and Doncaster earlier this year. 10/1, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Perth (2m, good) 31 days ago. Needs to bounce back in first-time cheekpieces.

Telhimlisten^h⁵⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 11-12| J: Darragh O'Keeffe| T: J Candlish| OR: 114| D

3/1

Has an excellent strike rate for current yard and added to it when winning 9-runner handicap hurdle at Stratford (19f, good to soft) on return in March after a near 14-month absence. Has an obvious chance even after a further 4 Ib rise in the weights.

Form: P5412/1-

Politacus²⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-10| J: Liam Harrison| T: F O'Brien| OR: 112| D

11/1

Successful twice over hurdles in spring 2024 and placed twice over fences this year. 4/1, sixth of 8 in handicap chase at Warwick (2m, good) 20 days ago. Has the tongue strap discarded and may find this test sharp enough back hurdling.

Form: 4P623-6

Turn And Finish^h1²⁰

16/1

A sole winner over hurdles. 28/1, last of 8 in handicap hurdle at Warwick (2m, good) 20 days ago. Needs the fitting of a first-time hood to work but it's still early days with this yard.

Form: 20/626-8

Forecasts

Vocito (5/4), Telhimlisten (3/1), A Different Kind (9/2), Fandabidozi (17/2), Politacus (11/1), Turn And Finish (16/1), Call Me Tara (18/1)

VOCITO ticks plenty of boxes and can step up on his reappearance to resume winning ways. The veteran Telhimlisten defied a long absence when winning at Stratford and is next best ahead of A Different Kind.
