Ended last term out of sorts and fared little better when fifth of 8 in handicap chase at Uttoxeter (20.9f, soft) in May. Lots more is needed after 6 months off.

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Joe Anderson⁽³⁾| T: Miss E C Lavelle| OR: 110

5/1

Failed to meet market expectations several times last season for Charlie Longsdon. Not disgraced for his new yard though when third of 8 in handicap hurdle at Hereford (21.7f, good) 39 days ago. Considered back in this sphere.

Form: 8532P-3

King Of Brazil^t¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: M G Nolan| T: Katy Price| OR: 107| C

20/1

A fair hurdler/chaser who twice over fences last season. Pulled up on his return at Bangor though before unseating rider first at Chepstow. Has a bit to prove.

Form: 131B-PU

Petticoat Lucy³⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-8| J: Lorcan Williams| T: J Scott| OR: 106

25/1

Successful at Newton Abbot and Exeter on her first 2 starts over fences. Off 10 months before pulled up in 21f Stratfford handicap chase on her reappearance however.

Form: 3/117B-P

Valens Bruyee²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Callum Pritchard⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss R Curtis| OR: 105| C

6/1

A two-time winner over hurdles last seson but he jumped ponderously before being pulled up in handicap chase at Bangor (20.3f, heavy) on his debut over fences 24 days ago.

Form: 13551-P

Daring Plan²⁹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Lucy Gardner| T: Mrs S Gardner| OR: 105

40/1

Lightly-raced maiden hurdler who posted a respectable third of 11 in handicap at Exeter (23.1f, heavy) when last seen out 9 months ago. Needs to hit the ground running on his chase debut.

Form: 6P/8723-

Eceparti²²³

Age: 10| Weight: 11-7| J: Ned Fox⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss V Williams| OR: 105| CD

5/1

C&D winner who signed off last term with a respectable fourth over C&D in April. Has won when fresh so he merits consideration on his reappearance.

Form: 20P224-

Cooleenymore^p²²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-6| J: H Cobden| T: R Walford| OR: 104| D

9/2

Took very well to fences last spring (scored at Hereford) and she made an encouraging return from 6 months off when fifth of 16 in handicap chase at Stratford (22.6f) 22 days ago. Expected to be bang there with that run under her belt.

Form: 3512-15

Petty Cash¹⁸⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: H D Daly| OR: 104WS

5/1

A fairly useful winning 2m hurdler who was completing for the first time over fences when second of 6 in 2m6f Stratford handicap chase in May. Returns after a wind op now and can't be discounted.

Form: 4FF/P3-2

Bobmahley⁶¹⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 11-5| J: Alan Johns| T: Tim Vaughan| OR: 103| BF| D

25/1

A dual 3m chase scorer in 2022/23 but off since falling 4 out (still leading) over C&D 20 months ago. No forlorn hope though on his comeback with yard going well.

Form: 12414F/

Mortens Leam²²

Age: 12| Weight: 11-4| J: Harry Reed| T: M Hawker| OR: 102

18/1

Veteran scored at Stratford (22.5f) in March and resumed from 7 months off with an encouraging fourth of 16 there 22 days ago, set a lot to do. Can make his presence felt.

Form: 5213U-4

Zero Tolerance¹⁷⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams| OR: 100

16/1

Still a maiden but he bounced back to form when second of 8 in handicap chase at Newton Abbot (21f, soft) in May. Can give a good account after a break.

Form: 849/58-2

Forecasts

Cooleenymore (9/2), Petty Cash (5/1), Eceparti (5/1), Haas Boy (5/1), Valens Bruyee (6/1), Fern Hill (12/1), Guerlain De Vaux (14/1), Zero Tolerance (16/1), Mortens Leam (18/1), King Of Brazil (20/1), Bobmahley (25/1), Petticoat Lucy (25/1), Gats And Co (33/1), Daring Plan (40/1)

Not as competitive as the numbers suggest and Robert Walford's likeable mare COOLEENYMORE is taken to build on her encouraging Stratford fifth after a lay-off and resume winning ways. Veteran Mortens Leam could emerge as the main danger, with Petty Cash, Eceparti and Zero Tolerance also in the mix
