9/1

Good record over fences in this headgear combination, adding to a Go North series final win at Carlisle (2½m) when shading a tight finish at Kelso (23.5f, good) this spring. Off 6 months but remains capable of better and a likely player.

Great Pepper¹⁹²

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: Leah Noreci⁽⁷⁾| T: James Moffatt| OR: 115| D

14/1

Unreliable individual and still to win over fences, a below-par fifth of 7 in handicap chase at Perth (2½m, good to soft) 6 months ago. Others are preferred.

Form: PU62P5-

Halftheworldaway²¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-13| J: Toby Wynne| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 114

7/2

Runner-up sole start in Irish points. Ended last season on the up over hurdles with a pair of 2m wins in novice company at Bangor. Off 7 months but needs considering now starting out over fences.

Form: 2/43211-

Cavalier Du Luy²⁷⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: Bruce Lynn| T: N W Alexander| OR: 112WS

7/2

Irish point winner who landed the odds in 2m maiden hurdle at Kelso in December. Not disgraced when fifth of 8 in novice here (2m, heavy) following month. Returns for his chase debut after a breathing operation and can't be dismissed.

Form: 431/215-

Moon Phases²²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: D R Fox| T: L Russell & M Scudamore| OR: 111| D

11/2

Low-mileage 7-y-o who confirmed chase debut promise with professional success at Newcastle. Pulled up in handicap chase at Kelso (2¾m, good to soft) in March on final run but no surprise to see him bounce back.

Form: 2/4213P-

One More Stroke^t³²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: Callum Bewley| T: D Bourke| OR: 111WS

33/1

Got off the mark over fences at Musselburgh in February 2025. Off since posting a respectable fifth of 9 in handicap chase at Newcastle (2½m, good to soft) 10 months ago on final run for Donald McCain. Has since had a breathing operation.

Form: 1343/45-

My Kiwi Girl^t³³⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: K Brogan| T: N W Alexander| OR: 108| C

33/1

Irish point winner who added to that over hurdles when bagging 2m maiden here last March. Pulled up on chasing debut here and came in last of 5 in 2m Carlisle handicap chase after a breathing operation only run since. Lots to prove after 11 months off.

Form: 3221/P5-

Tommy Combats²²³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: Ryan Mania| T: M Todhunter| OR: 108| C

10/3

Likeable chaser who doubled his tally at Ayr (2m) in January. Ended last season with an excellent second to Wolfburg in handicap chase at Carlisle (2½m, good) in March. Very much one to consider.

Form: 2/2U122-

Rock On Jet^h²⁰¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Jonathon Bewley| T: G Bewley| OR: 103| C

11/1

A fair winning 2m hurdler. Yet to match that form in this sphere, a well-held fourth of 11 in handicap chase at Hexham (2m) in April. Goes up in trip for his return.

Form: 134/P34-

Monochromix³⁵⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 10-11| J: Jack Power⁽⁵⁾| T: L Russell & M Scudamore| OR: 98

12/1

Remains a maiden after 19 runs. Off since a fair fourth of 7 in handicap chase at Wetherby (3m, soft) 11 months ago so has his fitness to prove.

Form: 2486/54-

Forecasts

Tommy Combats (10/3), Halftheworldaway (7/2), Cavalier Du Luy (7/2), Moon Phases (11/2), Wolfburg (9/1), Rock On Jet (11/1), Monochromix (12/1), Great Pepper (14/1), My Kiwi Girl (33/1), One More Stroke (33/1)

WOLFBURG was in fine form when last seen in the spring and is taken to return in style and complete a hat-trick here. Halftheworldaway rates an interesting prospect now going chasing and could prove the main danger ahead of Tommy Combats and Moon Phases.
