Age: 10| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr James Murray⁽⁷⁾| T: Mrs D A Hamer| OR: 100

9/2

Gained a third chasing win of last season at Ascot (3m) in March. Largely in good nick over fences since (ninth in competitive 3m handicap at Uttoxeter last time) and reverts to hurdles off a much lower mark here so not without interest.

Form: 4U12-39

Oneinthewell^p⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-13| J: J J Burke| T: James Owen| OR: 99

7/4

Irish bumper winner on debut for Thomas Cooper. Back from 5 months off with a good second of 8 in handicap hurdle at Market Rasen (21f) 5 days ago, despite jumping left. Not taken lightly reverted to a left-handed track.

Form: 55733-2

Spitalfield^p³⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-11| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 97

15/2

Only one win from 26 runs. Failed to build on earlier promise (in second-time cheekpieces) when a below-par fourth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Warwick (3¼m) 37 days ago. Needs to bounce back.

Form: 0688-34

Iamcelestialgift^t³¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-6| J: Kielan Woods| T: D Killahena & G McPherson| OR: 92

12/1

Made a winning debut in 19f Carlisle maiden hurdle last spring. Little show since until back from 5 months off with sixth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Southwell (3m) 31 days ago. Needs to build on it.

Form: 1/40P-6

Stiletto^p³³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-6| J: S Bowen| T: Mrs S Leech| OR: 92| CD

11/1

Successful 3 times last summer, including C&D. Failed to build on earlier promise when a below-form sixth of 13 in handicap at Perth (3m) 33 days ago. Still not one to write off though with Sean Bowen again up.

Form: 4709-56

Mexican Stan^t²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Lee Edwards| T: A Ralph| OR: 91

11/1

Off the mark in 25f handicap at Warwick in May, despite flashing his tail. Posted respectable efforts when fourth over C&D and at Uttoxeter since so not out of things eased 1 lb.

Form: P45-144

Ballela Blaze⁶⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-1| J: David Noonan| T: T Gallagher| OR: 87

14/1

Point winner. Still a maiden under Rules but resumed from 13 months off with a staying-on third of 10 in handicap hurdle at Southwell (2½m) 60 days ago. Can take a step forward back up in distance now.

Form: 48322/3

Pooroldmackley³⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-11| J: Miss Eleanor Williams⁽⁷⁾| T: Mrs C Williams| OR: 83| CD

18/1

C&D winner last August. Comes here on the back of a good fourth of 9 in handicap chase here (2½m) last month when faring best of those held up. Needs considering reverted to this sphere.

Form: 13PF7-4

Fane Court²⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 10-7| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: D J Jeffreys| OR: 79

6/1

Winning pointer but failed to make an impact over hurdles (also pulled up on his chasing debut) for Ben Lund last season. Better signs for new yard with staying-on fourth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (2½m) 27 days ago. One to consider now back up in trip.

Form: 6874P-4

Forecasts

Oneinthewell (7/4), Hold Your Fort (9/2), Fane Court (6/1), Spitalfield (15/2), Alderley Charlie (8/1), Stiletto (11/1), Mexican Stan (11/1), Iamcelestialgift (12/1), Jefe Triunfo (12/1), Ballela Blaze (14/1), Pooroldmackley (18/1)

A case can be made for several of these but HOLD YOUR FORT arrives in good nick from chasing and reverts to hurdles here off a much lower mark so is taken to gain a first win in this sphere. Oneinthewell gave the impression a return to a left-handed track would suit when runner-up at Market Rasen last time and could emerge as the main danger ahead of Fane Court and Stiletto.
