Age: 10| Weight: 12-0| J: N de Boinville| T: N J Henderson| OR: 139| C| D

9/2

Course winner who posted a respectable fifth of 25 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (23.5f, good to soft) in May. Much respected with cheekpieces back on after a break.

Form: 374095-

Lossiemouth^p¹⁰⁶⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 11-9| J: Stan Sheppard| T: P Gundry| OR: 134

28/1

A three-time hurdles winner around 2m4f for Tom Lacey when last seen out in 2021. Has his fitness to prove after a long absence here.

Form: 201115/

Annsam³⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 11-9| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams| OR: 134| CD

17/2

Likeable chaser who scored twice over 3m last season. Shaped as though retaining his ability over hurdles at Cheltenham on his return so this C&D winner is no forlorn hope kept to the smaller obstacles.

Form: 61710/0

Hermino AA²⁵²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: Freddie Mitchell⁽⁵⁾| T: G & J Moore| OR: 134

13/2

Ended last term on the up with a very good third of 12 in handicap hurdle over C&D in March. One to consider if fully tuned up for his comeback start.

Form: P30243-

Largy Poet^p²⁴²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Ben Bromley⁽⁵⁾| T: P F Nicholls| OR: 132| BF

10/1

Landed Exeter maiden hurdle and novice at Wincanton last winter. Signed off with an excellent second in 25f Huntingdon handicap final run and remains with potential on his seasonal return.

Form: 2/42112-

Hugos New Horse^p²²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: H Cobden| T: P F Nicholls| OR: 126WS

12/1

Winless and out of sorts last term, cheekpieces on when pulled up in handicap hurdle at Ayr (21.4f, soft) in April. Needs a subsequent wind op to spark a resurgence.

Form: 31/0P0P-

Woodie Flash^p¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: S Bowen| T: O Murphy| OR: 124| D

2/1

Resumed his progress when making a winning return in 9-runner handicap hurdle at Ffos Las (23.9f, good to soft) 19 days ago, travelling strongly. Runner-up has gone in since so he has to be taken seriously despite a 7 lb rise.

Form: 5131F-1

Hardy Boy¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: Ben Jones| T: B Pauling| OR: 123

12/1

Back to winning ways at Market Rasen in August and has continued in good form, seventh of 12 at Cheltenham (3m) 13 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up.

Form: 214247

Astronomic View^p³⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 10-10| J: Lucy Gardner| T: Mrs S Gardner| OR: 121

11/1

Reliable sort who resumed from 7 months off with a solid third of 9 in handicap hurdle at Newton Abbot (21.6f, soft) 30 days ago. Can go well again.

Form: 22314-3

Madaket^p²⁵²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-7| J: M G Nolan| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 118

5/1

Resumed progress in first-time cheekpieces when easily winning handicap hurdle at Wincanton (24.7f, heavy) in March and held his own from 12 lb higher when sixth of 12 over C&D later that month. Likely player on his reappearance.

Form: 165216-

Vee Dancer^p1⁶⁰⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 10-6| J: Conor Ring| T: R Potter| OR: 117

33/1

Completed a hat-trick at Catterick when last seen over hurdles in 2021 and in winning form on the Flat when last seen out 20 months ago for Ronan McNally. Cheekpieces on for his yard debut with his fitness to prove.

Forecasts

Woodie Flash (5/2), Largy Poet (6/1), Madaket (6/1), Hermino AA (7/1), Astronomic View (10/1), Chantry House (10/1), Annsam (10/1), Hardy Boy (12/1), Hugos New Horse (12/1), Vee Dancer (16/1), Lossiemouth (20/1), Classic Concorde (50/1)

WOODIE FLASH impressed when making a successful reappearance at Ffos Las and with that form having been well advertised since he can make light of a 7 lb hike in the weights. Madaket ended last term in fine form and can have a say on his return with his yard among the winners. Astronomic View, Hardy Boy and Annsam all command respect too in this competitive handicap.
