Campaign Trail^p,t³²

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: C Gethings| T: K Bailey & M Nicholls| OR: 117

9/4

Progressive stayer on Flat who doubled his hurdles tally in dominant fashion in 5-runner handicap at Hereford (3¼m, good to firm) last month. Looks capable of defying a 6 lb higher mark.

Form: 03/843-1

Billy Boi Blue^p,t²⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 11-13| J: David Bass| T: D Killahena & G McPherson| OR: 116

18/1

A fairly useful 3m hurdle winner at his best but his form nosedived last season and he didn't see his race out convincingly at Huntingdon on latest start.

Form: 1/73PP-5

Pinot Rouge^b²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: P W Wadge| T: S Corbett| OR: 115| CD

10/1

C&D winner last summer but her off days far outweigh the good ones in recent times, finishing last of 7 at Cartmel on most recent outing.

Form: PF5F3-7

Supreme Yeats^p,t¹⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 11-11| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 114| D

7/1

Cheekpieces back on with Harry Skelton on board and he cashed in on a handy mark at Newton Abbot (3¼m) in early May. Followed up in a sprint finish back there later in the month but has more on his plate from a career-high mark here.

Form: 5808-11

Lets Mingle³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Jack Power⁽⁵⁾| T: L Russell & M Scudamore| OR: 112

10/1

Landed a small-field maiden at Perth last spring and largely creditable efforts since, including when third of 6 in 2½m handicap back there last month. Likely to continue in form.

Form: 1243U-3

Beny Nahar Road^t¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: H Hogarth| OR: 104

16/1

Good chase record last spring/summer, including 2 wins. Took a heavy fall at Uttoxeter in September and very much looked and shaped as though in need of the run back over hurdles after 8 months off at Cartmel recently.

Form: 1242F-8

Wee Alki^p,t¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Nathan Moscrop| T: S Corbett| OR: 103| CD

7/2

Registered his second win at this track in 15-runner handicap over C&D in May, running on well for pressure. Seemingly unsuited by track when a bit below that level at Cartmel since.

Form: 5P22-16

Divilabother²⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 10-13| J: Harry Reed| T: T Davidson| OR: 102| C

4/1

Course winner last summer who ran creditably tackling this trip for the first time when third of 15 over C&D in early May. Shade disappointing back at 2½m on most recent outing but that possibly came a bit too soon.

Form: 2245-36

Forecasts

Campaign Trail (9/4), Wee Alki (7/2), Divilabother (4/1), Supreme Yeats (7/1), Pinot Rouge (10/1), Lets Mingle (10/1), Beny Nahar Road (16/1), Billy Boi Blue (18/1)

CAMPAIGN TRAIL seems a good deal more potent as a hurdler now and is taken to defy a 6 lb rise in the weights for Hereford. Divilabother possibly found the race coming a bit too soon when below form here on his most recent outing and appeals as the sort to bounce back quickly, while Lets Mingle ought to remain competitive.
