15/2

Strong-travelling sort who had solid form behind Alexei and Tutti Quanti prior to a career-best success in the Sussex Champion Hurdle at Plumpton (2m). Found less than looked likely in the Swinton last time but possibly found it coming too soon after such a big effort at Plumpton.

11/1

Teed up by a run on the Flat when landing the Swinton at a big price at Haydock in May. Followed up back on the level at Kempton later in the month and seems well placed to better his mid-field finish in this last year.

Form: 1B/199-1

40/1

Fairly useful staying handicapper on the level who made a smooth transition to hurdling last season, winning 4 times. Looked rusty returning from an 8-month absence when a well-held third to Morning Mayhem at Newton Abbot in June but entitled to be sharper now.

Form: 13114-3

Louis Veron³²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 124

9/4

Looks a useful prospect, creating an excellent impression in defying a penalty at the first time of asking in 10-runner novice at Stratford (19f) last month, quickening clear without coming off the bridle. Opening mark could easily underestimate him.

Form: 2-211

Newtown Rambler^p,t²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: Oakley Brown⁽⁵⁾| T: A Keatley| OR: 124

15/2

Stepped up on yard debut to record a second win over hurdles at Warwick (2m) in March. Pulled up at Ayr next time but most progressive back chasing since, completing a hat-trick in game fashion at Uttoxeter (2m) just under 3 weeks ago. Interesting runner off lower hurdles mark.

Form: 81P-111

Continuance^p1¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: Freddie Keighley⁽⁵⁾| T: M Keighley| OR: 122| BF| D

16/1

Free-going sort whose losing run is mounting but he chased home a useful pair at Sandown in January. Continued fine run of form behind resurgent rival on first try over 2½m at Worcester and gave another good account back down in trip at Newton Abbot 15 days ago. Cheekpieces on for 1st time.

Form: 223-422

Charlus^h,t¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: Tristan Durrell| T: D Skelton| OR: 122

100/1

Borderline useful in both codes at his best. Yet to fire for Dan Skelton, though settled better than usual following a breathing operation at Newton Abbot on most recent outing and may come on for the run given it was his first start in 12 weeks.

Form: 2FP0P-5

Morning Mayhem^p1³⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: Kielan Woods| T: Nick Scholfield| OR: 120| BF| D

33/1

Resumed winning ways in 2m handicap hurdle at Newton Abbot in June. Not discredited under a 7 lb penalty when last of 4 there (2¼m) next time but revised mark clearly asks for more.

Form: 313-414

Pigeon House^p³⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: Lee Edwards| T: C & A Pogson| OR: 120

80/1

Made all in a 2m Catterick claiming hurdle on final start for Jennie Candlish (changed hands for £12,000). Disappointed first 2 starts for current yard (including on the Flat) but bounced back to form reverting to hurdling when second of 4 over C&D last month. This is more competitive, however.

Form: 3/521-P2

Squeezebox^h,t⁴⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Stan Sheppard| T: T Lacey| OR: 119| CD

16/1

Fair Flat winner who has made a fine start to his hurdling career, winning 2 of his 3 starts in novice company last summer/autumn. Reappeared with a stylish handicap debut success at Southwell (2m) in June and open to further improvement, for all that this is clearly tougher.

Form: 151-1

Letterston Lily⁸⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: James Bowen| T: M Bowen| OR: 118| D

9/2

Showed no ill-effects from a 17-month absence when sweeping from last to first in 9-runner handicap hurdle (7/2) at Perth (2½m, good) in April. 6 lb higher mark to contend with but clearly capable fresh.

Form: 13U40/1-

Mojito Des Mottes^t¹¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: Harry Cobden| T: B Pauling| OR: 118| D

22/1

A winner on hurdling debut in France who shaped well on the back of a breathing operation when runner-up on handicap bow at Ascot in late March, closing all the way to the line having been left with a lot to do. Harry Cobden takes over in the saddle for the first time and remains unexposed.

Form: 1/2442-

High Fibre^v1⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-7| J: S Bowen| T: James Owen| OR: 112| BF

7/2

First handicap success over hurdles at Kempton (2m, good) in March and went close off the same mark at Ludlow (2m) a week later. Not so good next 2 starts but made an encouraging stable debut back on the level when third in 1½m handicap at York last week. Interesting in first-time visor.

Forecasts

Louis Veron (9/4), High Fibre (7/2), Letterston Lily (9/2), Indemnity (15/2), Newtown Rambler (15/2), Moon Chime (11/1), Squeezebox (16/1), Continuance (16/1), Mojito Des Mottes (22/1), Morning Mayhem (33/1), Howth (40/1), Pigeon House (80/1), Charlus (100/1)

LOUIS VERON created an excellent impression in defying a penalty at Stratford last month and with the performance supported by the timefigure, it's reasonable to assume an opening mark in the mid-120s could seriously underestimate him, especially given the potential for further improvement. High Fibre is interesting for a yard with an excellent recent record in the race following an encouraging stable debut on the Flat, while Newtown Rambler is another to note from his lower hurdles mark.
