Herbiers^t⁵⁷⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: R T Dunne| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 134| BF| D

6/1

Useful handicap hurdler and similar form over fences, again running well when second of 4 in handicap chase at Warwick (16.2f, good to soft) when last seen 19 months ago. Has long lay-off to overcome but is likeable and reliable.

Form: 55214/2-

Rafferty's Return^p,t²¹⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 11-8| J: Ross Chapman| T: R Menzies| OR: 128| CD

4/1

Front runner who scored at Carlisle in February and quickly back on the up when landing a 6-runner event at Newcastle the following month. Unable to dominate and ran poorly on final outing at Perth in April. Cheekpieces refitted on this return to action.

Form: 441715-

Matchless^p⁹^{(ex 7)}

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Mr Jamie Neild⁽⁷⁾| T: J Candlish| OR: 117

6/1

Fairly useful hurdler who didn't need to be anywhere near that level to land the odds in 4-runner seller at Plumpton (15.9f, good) 9 days ago. Faces a stiffer task back in handicap company under 7-lb penalty, however.

Form: 264-421

Hourvari³⁹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: G Sheehan| T: O Murphy| OR: 123| D

10/3

Fairly useful in bumpers and quickly reached a similar level over hurdles in 2022/23 season, successful twice in novice company at up to 19.5f. Failed to meet expectations on handicap debut at Aintree 13 months ago but returns from another absence with stable in red-hot form.

Form: 73113/6-

Fingal's Hill²⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-2| J: Danny McMenamin| T: P Atkinson| OR: 122| D

9/2

Consistent and likeable hurdler who looked and shaped as though in need of the run in first-time cheekpieces at Carlisle 24 days ago. Likely to be much closer to form this time and needs considering.

Form: 17524-8

Mr Bramley²¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: Craig Nichol| T: Jedd O'Keeffe| OR: 121| BF| D

3/1

Progressive in bumpers and won a pair of novices at up to 19.6f on first 2 starts over hurdles. Matched rather than improved on previous form switched to a handicap when third of 8 at Uttoxeter on final outing in April. Remains unexposed.

Forecasts

Mr Bramley (9/4), Hourvari (10/3), Matchless (9/2), Rafferty's Return (6/1), Fingal's Hill (6/1), Herbiers (7/1)

FINGAL'S HILL is a most likeable and consistent type who seems sure to be all the better for his reappearance, so he's fancied to notch a sixth career win over hurdles. Hourvari has a 13-month absence to overcome but reappears with his stable in red-hot form, with Herbiers another returner to keep an eye on in the betting.
