J: Conor O’Farrell

Has progressed well with blinkers since his latest C&D win in April (good), scoring at Kelso and Perth (both over 2m on good) and finishing good second off a pound lower than today at Cartmel last month; chance.

Resurgent 10yo who led close home at Perth (2m, good) last month and has now won three times since April; unlucky to come to grief when back at Perth last week and remains of strong interest, albeit he was well beaten over C&D on his only previous start here.

J: Charlie Maggs

Resurgent 10yo who led close home over C&D (good) last month and has now won three of his last four; probably doesn't have much margin for error after latest 5lb rise but must be considered in current mood.

Scored over hurdles but a modest Flat maiden for Brian Ellison; comes here in good nick over hurdles for new yard, sixth at Uttoxeter 13 days ago; not out of things back in this sphere.

1-20 over hurdles; bounced back from heavy 2m defeat (wore visor) with respectable fourth at Cartmel (2m6f, good; no headgear) last month and remains unexposed over this sort of trip but others appeal more.

Has the form to get in contention but she had a shocker when tailed off in a first-time visor at Fakenham; regularly worn cheekpieces but now goes without any headgear.

Form & Verdict
Won a maiden bumper here (soft) when with Rebecca Menzies, whom he has left since being a distant third at Wetherby in January (2m, soft); won a fast-ground point, so forecast conditions may help and he looks fairly treated on his handicap/stable debut; needs a market check.

Course bumper winner for Rebecca Menzies; underwhelming in novice/maiden hurdles, and only a modest third on stable/handicap debut here (2m1f, good; 11-4) in April; still unexposed though, and this extra yardage could suit; one to consider.

Record of 5-18 over fences but all of those wins have come at Sedgefield (2m/2m4f); only 2lb higher than for his last win in April but he's not gone on from that and was a well-held fifth of seven over C&D (good; 16-1) last time; others preferred.
