Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: Freddie Gingell⁽³⁾| T: J Tizzard| OR: 122| CD

17/2

Revitalised back over hurdles at the turn of the year, adding to his good record here with a double in the mud (latter victory over C&D). Has won fresh and probably not handicapped out of things on return.

5/1

Bumper winner who struck at the second time of asking over hurdles in 25f Catterick maiden in February. Bled on handicap debut at Huntingdon subsequently, though. Still unexposed starting out in his second season.

Ballymagroarty Boy^b¹⁸⁹

Age: 11| Weight: 11-11| J: Ben Bromley⁽⁵⁾| T: N J Hawke| OR: 119| D

18/1

Usually gives his running (couple of good efforts over C&D) and has won first time back in the past. One to note.

Made For You^p¹²

Age: 9| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr Edward Vaughan⁽⁷⁾| T: J L Flint| OR: 117| D

18/1

Won 5-runner 23f Worcester handicap hurdle last month, showing a good attitude. Not so good back on the level a fortnight ago but still on a fair mark back in this sphere.

Form: 352-221

Ernest Gray¹⁶⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: Tom Cannon| T: A King| OR: 116| BF

18/1

Won 3m handicap chase at Southwell in January but ran another moody race there when last seen in May. Still quite unexposed as a staying hurdler (scored at Doncaster in novice campaign) but probably not one to rely on.

Form: 3/7142-6

Kepagge^t,v¹⁴⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 11-6| J: Jack Tudor| T: D Pipe| OR: 114

20/1

Good record at Ffos Las and bounced back to form there last time, no match for promising 5-y-o. 3 lb higher back from 5 months off now and has stamina to prove.

Form: 3346-82

Lutinebella²⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-5| J: Fern O'Brien⁽⁷⁾| T: F O'Brien| OR: 113| C

12/1

Fairly useful in bumpers and successful twice over hurdles during 2022/23 campaign. Lightly raced since, running poorly behind Made For You at Worcester a month ago. Nudged down another 2 lb.

Form: 14/U8-43

High Game Royal²¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: Ben Jones| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 113

9/2

Successful handicap debut over hurdles at Chepstow (19.5f) in April 2023 and quite lightly raced kept to testing ground last term. Stamina to prove on return but ran well first time up last season (over fences) and looks fairly weighted.

Mad Mike^b²⁴²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Sean Houlihan| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 112| C

9/1

First past post in maiden at Chepstow penultimate start last season (decent form) then gained compensation for that demotion in match here next time. Remains with potential now tackling staying handicaps and one to consider on return.

Mr Tambourine Man^b³⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: David Noonan| T: D Pipe| OR: 112| C| D

80/1

Back on track in staying handicap hurdles this summer, completing a double in June. Well beaten the last twice, however, and needs a revival.

Form: P-2116P

Earth King^p³⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-2| J: H Cobden| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 110| C

7/2

Successful back over hurdles in staying handicap at Fontwell in May in first-time cheekpieces under this rider. Well beaten after 11 weeks off at Worcester but may have needed that.

Form: PP-1458

Morfee²⁶⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-2| J: James Best| T: J W Mullins| OR: 110| D

18/1

Lightly raced since March 2022 but has built up a good strike rate, successful for a fourth time in staying handicap chase at Plumpton when last seen in January. Been absent another 8 months and might need it.

Form: 1/72121-

King Of The Lake¹⁸³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: Rex Dingle| T: J Scott| OR: 109

7/1

Runner-up on 6 of his 8 starts over hurdles, including 3 times here. Should find a race this term and worth a look back from 6 months off.
