Mostly Sunny^p¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 117

7/4

A 3-time winner on the Flat who has taken well to hurdling for the Skelton yard, winning a maiden/handicap prior to an excellent fourth in the Summer Hurdle at Market Rasen. Let down by his jumping upped in trip at Worcester last time but obvious contender if bouncing back in cheekpieces.

Rickety Bridge²¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: H Cobden| T: P F Nicholls

4/7

Fairly useful in bumpers and ran to a similar level when making a successful debut over hurdles in 9-runner maiden at Southwell (20.4f, heavy) in March, making most. Big shout under a penalty.

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Lee Edwards| T: Dave Roberts

66/1

Modest at best in bumpers and was well held at Worcester (16f, good) on hurdle bow 105 days ago. Significantly up in trip.

22/1

Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules who was still in need of the experience when a well-held third of 10 in maiden hurdle at Worcester (16f, good) 23 days ago. Significantly up in trip.

Rickety Bridge (4/7), Mostly Sunny (7/4), Highly Recommended (22/1), Pethers Run (28/1), Billy Butcher (66/1), Connolly (150/1)

RICKETY BRIDGE made fairly hard work of it when making a successful debut over hurdles at Southwell in March, but it was under difficult conditions after all, and his fairly useful bumper form suggests he should be up to defying a penalty in a race of this nature. Mostly Sunny will surely pose the biggest threat if bouncing back from a poor effort at Worcester 12 days ago.
