Huckleberry Sting

12st 0lb

J: Jack Andrews

T: T Ellis

Strong traveller who is 3-7 over fences this year (2m6f-3m) since returning from a break, all on good ground; ran respectably when a 10l fourth at Stratford (2m6f) last time and, although again looking vulnerable off his current mark, it would be no surprise to see him involved.

Strong traveller who made it 3-6 over fences with 2m5f success at Market Rasen three weeks ago, not needing to come under maximum pressure; rising in the weights but at the top of his form and should go well again.

J: Paul O’Brien

T: Jessica Bedi

Led close home in first-time cheekpieces here (2m5f, soft) last December and was also successful in four-runner race at Huntingdon (2m7f, good to firm) in May; too inconsistent to rely upon heavily and came to grief here last month but he's on a good mark if all goes to plan.

Chase winner at Newcastle (2m4f, good) off 2lb higher in April and followed that with two creditable thirds at around this trip, but not in the same form since; 0-7 over hurdles but on a fair mark back in this sphere and the step back up in trip should help.

The Clonmel Kid

J: Joe Williamson

T: Philip Kirby

Hasn't really kicked on since making the breakthrough over fences at Newcastle (2m4f, good) in April and Hexham last time was a backward step; previous efforts weren't too bad, so if forgiven that last run a case could be made off this mark.
