Huckleberry Sting^t²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Jack Andrews| T: T Ellis| OR: 98| CD

7/2

Strong-travelling sort who made it 2 wins from as many visits to Market Rasen in 6-runner handicap chase (21f) in August, hard held. Came unstuck from a 6 lb higher mark at Stratford subsequently, reverting to finding less than seemed likely, but can't be taken lightly back at this venue.

Ribeye⁴²

Age: 11| Weight: 11-13| J: Callum Bewley| T: P Atkinson| OR: 97| CD

8/1

Veteran who confirmed his return to form from his reduced mark when ½-length second of 6 to reopposing Huckleberry Sting here (21f, good to firm) 6 weeks ago. Meets that rival on 5 lb better terms here and must enter calculations.

Form: 7P6-P42

Galway Reel⁸³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: S Bowen| T: O Murphy| OR: 95| BF| CD

8/11

Benefited from a strong pace when opening his account in this corresponding event last year and returned to form reverting to this sphere when 1¾ lengths second of 9 to reopposing Huckleberry Sting over C&D in July. Since made a notable yard switch and is also now 12 lb better off with that rival.

Form: 182-2P2

Just Keeps Rolling⁴²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-6| J: Jack Hogan| T: P A Kirby| OR: 76| D

25/1

Winning pointer but has shown nothing in 4 starts over hurdles, pulling up on the first 3. Needs to prove a totally different proposition over fences.

Form: 73/PP-P9

Deadly Missile^p⁴²⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 10-6| J: Benjamin Poste| T: Mrs R Gasson| OR: 76| D

33/1

Returned to the pick of his form when off the mark over fences at the thirteenth attempt in 3¼m handicap at Uttoxeter in July last year. Posted a solid third under a penalty back there despite going about things in a typically laboured fashion, but a 14-month absence is an obvious concern.

Form: 3/P4413-

Hardy Buck^p,t³⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 10-6| J: Freddie Mitchell⁽³⁾| T: M Comley| OR: 76

13/2

Made the perfect start for Max Comley when capitalising on a much-reduced mark over hurdles at Exeter (23f) in December. More miss than hit subsequently, though got back on track reverted to chasing with the aid of a soft lead when second of 6 in 3¼m handicap at Newton Abbot last month.

Form: 172P-62

Fast Deal²⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 10-2| J: Mr J Stevenson⁽⁷⁾| T: M C Chapman| OR: 64

100/1

Hasn't shown much for a long time now and is easy enough to oppose from out of the weights again.

Forecasts

Galway Reel (8/11), Huckleberry Sting (7/2), Fane Court (6/1), Hardy Buck (13/2), Ribeye (8/1), Pawpaw (16/1), Just Keeps Rolling (25/1), Deadly Missile (33/1), Fast Deal (100/1)

GALWAY REEL was no match for Huckleberry Sting over C&D in July but now meets that rival on 12 lb better terms now setting out for Olly Murphy, so it's reasonable to believe he can reverse the form and land this race for a second year running. Veteran Ribeye also has a more favourable weight pull with Huckleberry Sting and is second choice.
