Centurion's Sister¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Rian Corcoran| T: N G Richards| OR: 100| BF

4/1

Runner-up twice from 3 starts in bumpers. She's been consistent rather than progressive over hurdles, chasing home a next-time out winner on return at Cartmel and again bumping into one destined for higher grades when filling the same position in a Bangor handicap (17f) 2 weeks ago,

Scots Poet^b,t³⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 11-13| J: Charlie Maggs| T: Ewan Whillans| OR: 99| CD

2/1

Has won 3 of his last 4 starts after nigh-on 2 years without even one (hardly putting a foot wrong since the blinkers were added), getting up late on to land a 12-runner handicap hurdle at this C&D (good to soft) 35 days ago. Respected after another 5 lb rise.

Form: 331-211

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Murray Dodd⁽³⁾| T: R M Smith| OR: 98| C

14/1

Creditable fourth of 10 in handicap here (3m) in April but ran poorly dropped back to 2½m here last time and even shorter trip here is far from certain to suit,

Tigress Lilly^t¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: Jack Power| T: L Russell & M Scudamore| OR: 92

22/1

Yet to make a real impact in bumpers or over hurdles, finishing well held in a 6-runner handicap at C&D 10 days ago. Will be of more interest when stepped up in trip.

Form: 5700-66

Storm The Dug^t1³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: Gregor Walkingshaw⁽¹⁰⁾| T: L Russell & M Scudamore| OR: 92

15/2

Having been brought along steadily, he improved again when runner-up on handicap debut over C&D (despite being unconsidered in the betting) in April and ran to a similar enough level when fifth of 12 here last month. That gives him a big shout with tongue strap applied.

Form: 9442-5

Malangen¹⁰

Age: 11| Weight: 10-8| J: Joshua Thompson| T: Miss L Harrison| OR: 80| BF| CD

12/1

Front-running veteran (successful 4 times here) is without a win in 15 starts. Probably would have won at Hexham in mid-June but for late unseat and was a good second there next time. Probably feeling the effects of a busy spell here last time though and has had only another 10 days off.

Lucky In Taipan³⁰⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: Callum Pritchard⁽³⁾| T: B Pauling| OR: 74

9/4

Placed on his bumper debut prior to going the wrong way for Fergal O'Brien and made no impact in maiden hurdles last summer for Max Young. Off for 10 months since but now steps into handicap company after a significant stable switch and it'd be no surprise to see him prove a different proposition.

Forecasts

Scots Poet (2/1), Lucky In Taipan (9/4), Centurion's Sister (4/1), Storm The Dug (15/2), Malangen (12/1), Jolyjump (12/1), Follow Charlie (14/1), Tigress Lilly (22/1)

A chance is taken that LUCKY IN TAIPAN retains enough ability to make a successful handicap debut from a basement opening mark on the back of a switch to the powerful Ben Pauling yard. Storm The Dug arrives on the back of a pair of good efforts over C&D and is shortlisted alongside Centurion's Sister.
