Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 109| D

11/2

Stratford (good) novice hurdle winner in April but well held in handicap company in recent starts. Races off a mark 3lb lower than when beaten 23L at Newton Abbot (good) earlier this month.

12/1

Dual winner in point-to-points but sole rules victory came on soft ground at Ludlow over this trip in March last year. Only modest efforts in handicap company of late.

Age: 9| Weight: 11-9| J: Benjamin Poste⁽³⁾| T: Miss T Watkins| OR: 106| D

33/1

Bidding to complete a hat-trick when pulling up after his saddle slipped over an extended 2m at Bangor (good-to-soft) in March. Better ground forecast today should suit.

Alexander The Grey^h,t⁶⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: Kielan Woods| T: D Killahena & G McPherson| OR: 105

7/2

Stepped up on recent efforts when finishing 5L fourth of 14 over 2m1f at Newton Abbot (good-to-soft) two months ago. Tongue tie worn for the first time on that occasion is retained today.

Form: 443-554

Scrutinise¹⁸¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: R Johnson| T: Tim Vaughan| OR: 105

10/1

Winner three times on the Flat and signs of ability in two of his three hurdles starts since joining this yard. Worth a check in the market on handicap debut.

Form: 795-

Duke Of Sonning^b⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: J E Moore| T: S A Harris| OR: 104| D

25/1

Out of form of late and well beaten on the Flat the last twice. More needed if he's to add to his sole hurdles success today.

Form: 12/P-676

Ambre Des Marais²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: N D Fehily| T: J Farrelly| OR: 102

5/2

Unbeaten in two starts since joining this stable including when justifying odds-on favouritism by 1L at Bangor (good) over an extended 2m3f earlier this month. One for the shortlist despite an 8lb rise.

Form: 05U8/11

Towering^b¹⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-3| J: T J O'Brien| T: C R Dore| OR: 100| C| D

20/1

Winner of a selling hurdle at Hexham (good) in June but well beaten on debut for this yard over C&D on good ground two weeks ago and more needed here despite racing off a 5lb lower mark today.

Form: P-14426

The Kid^t,v²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-9| J: James Bowen⁽⁷⁾| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR: 92| CD

4/1

Wore a visor for the first time when winning over C&D on good ground earlier this month. Raised 6lb for that victory and one to note with a leading conditional in the saddle once more.

Forecasts

Ambre Des Marais (5/2), Alexander The Grey (7/2), The Kid (4/1), Excellent Team (11/2), Sir Dylan (7/1), Scrutinise (10/1), Beallandendall (12/1), Towering (20/1), Duke Of Sonning (25/1), Goal (33/1)

THE KID can follow up his C&D victory earlier this month by taking this following a 6lb rise in the weights. The visor worn for the first time on that occasion is retained today and with similar underfoot conditions forecast here he can get the better of Ambre Des Marais who is bidding to maintain an unbeaten record since she joined this stable earlier this year. Goal had tack issues when pulling up at Bangor back in March but had been in good form prior to that and he can claim third on his first outing since.
