17/2

Scored at Southwell on second chase start last season and placed on 3 of 4 subsequent outings of the campaign. Shaped as if returning in good form when third of 7 back at Southwell last month, despite a bad mistake 3 out, and he's a major player with recent run behind him.

Person Of Interest²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-13| J: Harry Cobden| T: Faye Bramley| OR: 98

5/4

Won at Downpatrick (19f) last summer though has largely struggled for form since. Back over hurdles on first run since leaving John Joseph Hanlon, sixth of 8 in handicap at Worcester (2m) 20 days ago, but he's well treated on pick of Irish form. One to note even kept at this trip.

Form: PP49-B6

Electric Eddy²⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-9| J: Toby McCain-Mitchell⁽³⁾| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 94| D

18/1

Fair winning hurdler at best who made an encouraging switch to fences when runner-up at Hereford in November. However, he's been held back by his jumping in 3 starts since, well held at Southwell on latest outing.

Form: 3/P2P-36

Most Wanted^p³⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-5| J: Brendan Powell| T: D G Bridgwater| OR: 90| D

16/1

Winner over 1m on the Flat last summer who tended to race freely over hurdles. However, with the emphasis on speed he was able to make a successful chasing debut in 4-runner handicap at Fakenham in May by 5½ lengths from Getaway Jewel. More needed in this contest.

Form: 5/44P9-1

Feet On The Ground²⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: Tom Broughton⁽³⁾| T: F O'Brien| OR: 89

11/1

Made the frame twice in Irish points and got back on track sent chasing when third of 5 in mares handicap at Worcester (2m) in May. Well held at the same course (2½m) since, though, not for the first time failing to see her race out. Drops back in trip.

Form: P04P-36

Royal Rhythm^p²⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 11-3| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 88| D

16/1

Without a win since successful over hurdles on Boxing Day in 2023. Failed to come on for this season's return when fifth of 8 in handicap at Southwell (2½m) last month and others more persuasive as he makes only second chase start (well held only previous try).

Form: 255P-55

Fond Farewell^t²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-7| J: Toby Wynne| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 78

16/1

Modest Flat handicapper in Ireland who finished no better than mid-field in his completed starts over hurdles for this yard. Failed to improve for the switch to chasing when fourth of 7 in handicap at Southwell last month.

Form: 87/UP-54

Prairie Queen²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-6| J: Sean Houlihan| T: Mrs S Gardner| OR: 77| D

5/1

Has taken well to chasing this year, confirming the promise of her first 2 outings when making all at Hereford in May. Again jumped well when third at Worcester 20 days ago and she can make another bold bid.

Form: 3233-13

Walk The Plank²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-6| J: Dylan Johnston| T: C Hobson| OR: 77| D

12/1

Well backed and proved a different proposition on third chase start when opening account in handicap at Huntingdon in March. Has had excuses both outings since, all but coming down 3 out when fifth of 7 at Southwell last month.

Form: P5P1-45

Getaway Jewel¹⁸

Age: 12| Weight: 10-2| J: B S Hughes| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 71| D

17/2

Returned to winning ways at Fakenham last summer before ending the year on a low-key note. Runner-up back at Fakenham on this season's return but was well beaten when third of 6 at Market Rasen (19f) last time. Races from only 1 lb above last winning mark here, though.

Form: 2064-23

Forecasts

Person Of Interest (5/4), Prairie Queen (5/1), Getaway Jewel (17/2), Alshadhian (17/2), Feet On The Ground (11/1), Walk The Plank (12/1), Most Wanted (16/1), Royal Rhythm (16/1), Fond Farewell (16/1), Electric Eddy (18/1)

ALSHADHIAN shaped as if in good form returning from 8 months off when third at Southwell in June and, with his yard having made a bright start to the campaign, he could be ready to get back to winning ways. Prairie Queen has been proving consistent over fences and is feared most, ahead of Person of Interest.
