Selected odds by:

Sorceleur^t⁶⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: H Cobden| T: P F Nicholls| OR: 122| C

7/4

Progressive in bumpers and made the most of another excellent opportunity turned out under 24 hours on from Exeter in 6-runner novice at Wincanton (15.2f, good) 60 days ago, plenty in hand. Back up in trip for handicap bow and, while his mark is no gimme, he should have plenty more to offer.

Form: 315-211

Henn See^t²⁶²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-11| J: Adam Wedge| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR: 119

14/1

Winning hurdler/chaser but pulled up last 2 starts, breaking blood vessel on final outing and sold out of W. P. Mullins' yard for only £4,500 in May.

Form: 4/215PP-

Silent Revolution^t¹¹⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 11-7| J: Jack Tudor| T: Mrs A M Thorpe| OR: 115

14/1

One-time useful hurdler but has become disappointing (including over fences). Has left Paul Nicholls.

Form: 7/30-62P

Valadon⁶³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: Bryan Carver| T: H Fry| OR: 114| BF

13/2

Dual winner in juvenile hurdles last winter before a respectable third on handicap debut at Sandown (2m) in March. Made mistakes and never threatened on return/chase bow at Chepstow (2m) but return to hurdling could see him get back on track.

Form: 2113-4

Tom Doniphon⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: M G Nolan| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 112| CD

3/1

Useful bumper performer who improved again to get off the mark over hurdles on handicap debut over C&D last week, doing so in comfortable fashion. Escapes a penalty for that success and excellent chance of following up with further progress on the cards.

Form: 120-321

Coastal Rock⁴⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: S Bowen| T: O Murphy| OR: 109

3/1

Offered plenty to work on in 3 qualifying runs for Harry Fry/Lucinda Russell. Disappointing when beaten favourite at Ayr (16f) on debut for new yard earlier this month but appreciated stiffer test of stamina when scoring at Uttoxeter (19.9f, heavy) 45 days ago. Remains unexposed.

Form: 4/34-51

Forecasts

Sorceleur (7/4), Coastal Rock (3/1), Tom Doniphon (3/1), Valadon (13/2), Henn See (14/1), Silent Revolution (14/1)

TOM DONIPHON and Sorceleur stand out. The former saw off a couple of in-form rivals in comfortable fashion on his handicap debut over C&D last week and gets the nod to go in again given he escapes a penalty for that success. The latter has been handed a stiff-looking mark but remains with lots of potential.
