2/1

Multiple point winner who pulled up in hunter chase last May but offered a lot more in 2 maiden hurdles for this yard this summer (including second over 2¾m here). Matched that form when third on C&D handicap chase debut last month (form working out) and considered after breathing operation.

Form: 31-1253

9/4

Winless over hurdles but has taken well to fences, strong at the finish when scoring at Warwick and Worcester this summer. Given far too much to do last time out and no surprise to see him get back on the up.

Form: 895-114

Lynsey Larue^t⁷⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-6| J: Conor Ring| T: Mrs C Williams| OR: 78

11/1

Dual Irish points winner who finally gained a first success under Rules (tongue tied) in 6-runner handicap chase at Ffos Las (3m) in May but shaped as if amiss before pulling up at Uttoxeter 3 weeks later. Form of that Ffos Las win is flimsy enough, though.

Form: U424-1P

Flashy Boy^t⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 10-2| J: Charlie Price| T: R L Llewellyn| OR: 73

13/8

Winner of a small-field point in March. Rejoined Robbie Llewellyn prior to this year and has been prominent in the betting on both starts this summer, looking ahead of his mark but making late mistakes when third of 6 at Stratford (3½m, good to soft) 7 days ago. Can go well from just out of weights.

Form: P1P-453

Forecasts

Flashy Boy (13/8), Premier Fantasy (2/1), Knightsbridge (9/4), Better Off Alone (6/1), Lynsey Larue (11/1)

FLASHY BOY travelled well and would've finished closer if not for a couple of late errors at Stratford last week and he's fancied to capitalise on a lowly mark at the chief expense of Knightsbridge, who was progressing well before a change of tactics failed to pay off at Worcester last time.
