Off time: 15:03 | Winning time: 3m 50.23s

Arcon^p¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Luke Scott⁽³⁾| T: J Candlish

6/1

Fairly useful winner on Flat (stays 2m). Hasn't bettered modest form in his 3 hurdles but he did catch the eye of the stewards last time and should have a bigger performance in him at some point.

Form: 3-66

66/1

Little impact in points (latest May 2024). Fitted with a hood for this belated hurdle debut. Could only consider if the subject of strong market support.

Trackman³⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: David Noonan| T: S Pearce

28/1

A long-standing maiden on the Flat (stays 1¾m). Better effort over hurdles when fifth of 9 over C&D (good) 5 weeks ago, looking set for fourth until blundering the last.

Form: 65

Delgany Second Now²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Tristan Durrell| T: D Skelton

200/1

In expert hands but limited impact in C&D maiden hurdles at Worcester just 2 weeks apart. Looks the stable second string on qualifying run.

Form: 5-77

Faithful Guardian²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Theo Gillard| T: D McCain Jnr

11/2

Placed in 2 bumpers, including here. Didn't achieve much when sixth of 9 on C&D hurdle debut 3 weeks ago but his bumper ability provides the hope for better.

Form: 28-36

Iwanttobreakfree^t¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton

15/8

Runner-up sole start in Irish points and third in Uttoxeter bumper on recent Rules debut. Looks to have found a good opportunity sent hurdling.

Form: 23

Provision³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Isabelle Ryder⁽⁵⁾| T: F Brennan| OR: 100

6/5

Fair maiden on the Flat. Performed to a similar level when third in C&D maiden (good) 35 days ago. Should go well again.

Form: 5-33

Galeforcechopper^h,t³⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: James Turner⁽⁵⁾| T: D Brace

125/1

Modest form at best in bumpers for D J Jeffreys and remote sixth on C&D hurdle debut for new yard last month.

Forecasts

Provision (6/5), Iwanttobreakfree (15/8), Faithful Guardian (11/2), Arcon (6/1), Not Now (8/1), Trackman (28/1), Devon Red (66/1), Military Saint (80/1), Galeforcechopper (125/1), Delgany Second Now (200/1)

IWANTTOBREAKFREE is taken to make a successful hurdle debut for the Skeltons. Provision showed borderline fair form when third over C&D last time and looks the chief danger ahead of Trackman.
