Selected odds by:
Encouraging signs over hurdles and wasn't seen to best effect at all sent chasing when last seen at Perth (2½m, good to soft) in May. Likely to leave that form well behind in time.
|
Long time without success but back to form when runner-up at Kelso (21.6f, good to soft) in May. Returned with a solid performance at Hexham and should be spot on now.
|
Won sole point and showed fair form over hurdles. Has run only once (poorly) since January 2022 but handicapper has given him a chance ahead of this chasing debut.
|
Veteran who has 9 course wins to his name but ended last season out of sorts and didn't show much here on return 5 days ago. Hard to fancy.
|
On a losing run and wasn't at his best when last seen four months ago. On a fair mark back over fences but others are more appealing.
|
Modest maiden hurdler who was holding his form when last seen 6 months ago. Clumsy jumper over the smaller obstacles, however, so hard to know how he'll take to this discipline.
|
Modest chaser who ended last season in form without looking ahead of his mark. Will probably need this return.
|
Made the frame both starts in Irish points and, while he has only achieved a modest level under Rules (including in chases), he has joined a shrewd outfit from Rose Dobbin, so he's worth close market inspection.
|
Runner-up in an Irish point and posted his best run under Rules to date when third of 6 in handicap chase at Carlisle (21f, soft) on debut over fences in March. Yet to build on that and might need this return.
|
Bumper winner who was just poor under Rules and, while successful on his final outing for Michael Scudamore at Worcester, that was more than a year ago.
|
Course winner who was well below form on his final outing for Jackie Stephen and didn't fire at Hexham on debut for this yard. Something to prove.
|
Irish point winner but more miss than under Rules so far and will struggle from out of the weights on first outing since leaving Charlie Longsdon.

Forecasts
Pats Dream (5/2), Wal Buck's (10/3), Grand Voyage (13/2), Sputnik (8/1), Toombridge (10/1), King Arise (12/1), Azof Des Mottes (14/1), Halfway House Lad (14/1), Euchan Falls (16/1), Scalloway Bay (22/1), Ironhill (28/1), Ardera Cross (33/1), Ideal De Romay (50/1)
PATS DREAM has the potential for better under Rules and may be able to fulfil it now he's moved to a shrewd stable, so he's preferred to Wal Buck's who is expected to leave the form of his chasing debut at Perth well behind. Grand Voyage should be on the premises.
