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.

Off the mark for this yard off a 6lb lower mark at Hexham in May (2m, good); not disgraced when third stepped up to 2m4f next time; a possible.

J: Joshua Thompson

T: Adam Nicol

The booking of Patrick Mullins was a likely factor in him going off 6-4f last time at Hexham where he raced freely and didn't last home over 2m4f; had made steady progress for this yard and, back over shorter with Joshua Thompson taking off 5lb, he should be involved.

Dual Flat winner for Charlie Johnston (8.5f-12.5f); yet to score over hurdles (0-7) but doesn't have a massive amount to find with Lets Mingle and Summergrounds based on their recent C&D clash; the task isn't an impossible one.

Former smart Flat horse who is 0-6 over hurdles and was beaten a little under 10l on handicap debut here a month ago; he was boxing on over 2m and this longer trip could bring him on (stayed well on the Flat).

Poor strike-rate (1-37), finishing down the field at Ripon (1m2f; 25-1) a fortnight ago; nothing special over hurdles either (0-5; beaten 34l at Market Rasen in April), so difficult to consider.

Juvenile hurdler who was runner-up in her final start in Ireland in November but she's struggled in both runs for current yard and latest was on handicap debut at Exeter (2m2f, good to soft); still early days but she needs a transformation at this new trip.

Better known as a chaser now and has not really been firing on all cylinders since returning from a break in April; not yet proven over this far and needs to be perked up by this switch back to hurdling; usually avoids ground slower than good.
