Selected odds by:

Homme Public^p,t³²

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Ben Smith⁽⁷⁾| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 138

16/1

Multiple winner over hurdles and very useful form over fences last season, including a Grade 2 win. However, ran poorly back from 5 months off at Chepstow 32 days ago and now reverts to hurdles.

Form: 1217-68

Della Casa Lunga^p,t¹⁹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: R Patrick| T: C Boultbee-Brooks| OR: 135

28/1

Back-to-back winner at Ludlow in February but found out in a warmer race at Punchestown in May. Off since. Might be best to look elsewhere.

Form: 32811P-

Might I^t¹⁸⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-11| J: Bryan Carver| T: H Fry| OR: 135

7/2

Useful hurdler who ran respectably in some competitive handicaps in the spring. More than capable off this mark if in the mood back from 6 months off (yard going well).

Form: 21306-6

Jungle Jack^p¹⁷¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: B S Hughes| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 131| CD

6/1

C&D winner who reacted well to blinkers when runner-up at Kelso (2m) when last seen in May. Cheekpieces back on this time. Represents last year's winning trainer/jockey combination.

Form: 9/P260-2

Cheddleton^p¹⁹³

Age: 9| Weight: 11-6| J: Sean Quinlan| T: J Candlish| OR: 130| C| D

22/1

Back to form in cheekpieces when winning a 4-runner handicap chase at Newcastle at the end of February but pulled up in 2 subsequent outings. Returns from 6 months off with a point to prove.

Form: 44P1P-P

West To The Bridge^t⁴⁰

Age: 11| Weight: 11-5| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 129| C| D

11/1

Exploits mixed during a light 2023/24 campaign but he did catch the eye when fourth over this C&D in March. Well-held third on Fontwell return last month but he ought to be sharper now. Respected having dipped to a mark in the 120s for the first time in nearly 3 years.

Form: 2F544-3

Jipcot^t³¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: Kielan Woods| T: Jonjo & A O'Neill| OR: 123

13/2

Won 2m Huntingdon handicap hurdle in March. Impressed with how he travelled when third of 16 in Imperial Cup at Sandown (2m, soft) later that month (final start for Ben Pauling). Never involved in Welsh Champion Hurdle on return for new yard but should strip fitter now. Hood off and up in trip.

Form: 7F313-7

Lemoncello³⁸⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Miss Lucy Turner⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss V Williams| OR: 122

12/1

Fairly useful form over hurdles and fences in France in 2023. Been off for over a year ahead of this British debut. Betting perhaps the best guide to expectations.

Form: 122321-

Benassi³⁰⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-11| J: Lewis Stones⁽³⁾| T: O Murphy| OR: 121

12/1

Won twice over hurdles in early 2023. Back to that level when second of 4 in 19.5f Lingfield handicap last November. Returned lame when well beaten at Wetherby 2 months later and absent since. Sean Bowen on yard's other runner.

Form: 121/P27-

Aston Martini²⁷²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-10| J: N de Boinville| T: N J Henderson| OR: 120| D

5/1

Bumper winner who also landed her first 2 starts over hurdles last winter (all good to soft). Possibly unsuited by more testing conditions when a remote fourth in Sandown Grade 2 in February. Interesting now handicapping on reappearance.

Form: 1114-

Itsnoteasy³²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-6| J: S Bowen| T: O Murphy| OR: 116| D

13/2

£100,000 recruit from the Irish pointing field who contested 3 2½m maiden hurdles at Uttoxeter at the end of 2023, going close on the second occasion before making it third time lucky in December. Unexposed handicap newcomer from a good stable.

Form: 52/1521-

Forecasts

Might I (7/2), Aston Martini (5/1), Jungle Jack (6/1), Jipcot (13/2), Itsnoteasy (13/2), West To The Bridge (11/1), Benassi (12/1), Lemoncello (12/1), Homme Public (16/1), Cheddleton (22/1), Della Casa Lunga (28/1)

WEST TO THE BRIDGE could be spot on for this after last month's reappearance and might be worth siding with to take advantage of his lowest mark for a while. Unexposed pair Aston Martini and Itsnoteasy are interesting handicap newcomers, while Might I is more than capable off his current rating if on a going day.
