Free World³¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Cieren Fallon| T: Ian Williams| OR: 60

Karthala^p,t²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: S D Bowen| T: J Candlish| OR: 60

14/1

Decent in-frame efforts over hurdles this summer but has work to do back on the Flat off current mark.

Form: 627-450

(7)

Fleur De Mer^v1²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: P Mulrennan| T: M Todhunter| OR: 57

8/1

Without a win in 22 starts but some solid efforts this year and mark has eased another 2 lb (not seen to best effect last time). Change of headgear.

Form: 3-32364

(4)

Zephlyn^t⁵²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: Jason Hart| T: Ewan Whillans| OR: 56| CD

9/2

Dual C&D winner off higher marks last season but he's not quite been firing on all cylinders so far this year, shaping as if amiss back over hurdles 52 days ago.

Form: 9-69365

(9)

Slack Alice^v³⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: L Morris| T: M Bowen| OR: 50

2/1

Modest maiden on Flat but has progressed over hurdles of late for current yard, winning last 2 starts. Potentially well handicapped back in this sphere.

Form: 59444-3

(6)

Speechman^b,t1⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 8-11| J: Cam Hardie| T: P A Kirby| OR: 48

28/1

Regressive handicapper who has offered little for current connections (hollow second over C&D on penultimate start). Tongue strap applied.

Form: 988327

(5)

Lillistar^p1¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 8-10| J: Aiden Brookes| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 47

16/1

Best form on the level has come at around 2m, winning at Wolverhampton in October and second at Newcastle in March, but she hasn't been very convincing on turf this year. Cheekpieces now applied.

Form: 1-26533

(3)

Star Of Jupiter^b,e/s,t⁴⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 8-9| J: William Pyle| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 45

14/1

First past the post off a 1 lb higher mark at Ffos Las (2m) last summer but has struggled at this level on his last 2 starts back on turf.

Form: 46-2564

(1)

Ruler Of The River^p,t⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 8-9| J: Barry McHugh| T: P A Kirby| OR: 45| D

125/1

Winning hurdler but seems to have lost her way, showing little for this yard back on the Flat last month.

Form: 46/00-65

Forecasts

Free World (2/1), Slack Alice (2/1), Zephlyn (9/2), Fleur De Mer (8/1), Star Of Jupiter (14/1), Karthala (14/1), Lillistar (16/1), Speechman (28/1), Ruler Of The River (125/1)

SLACK ALICE is potentially well handicapped back on the Flat given her recent improvement over hurdles so she gets the vote over Fleur De Mer and Free World, who are both lurking on career-low marks.
