Selected odds by:

Chichester²⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 95

11/1

Smart performer at his best on Flat but below that level in 2024. Low-key start to hurdles career under kind rides and likely to be better for the outing following his final qualifying run over C&D, raced freely and made a bad mistake 2 out. Remains with potential now handicapping.

Form: 74-8

Gonnino²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| T: Gary Rutherford| OR: 95

13/2

Only minor promise in a couple of bumpers but stepped up markedly on opening effort over hurdles when fourth of 9 at Kelso in April. Showed that was no fluke when runner-up in a maiden over C&D 24 days ago, no chance with winner. Chance of improvement on handicap debut.

Form: 3604-2

Garrick Painter¹⁸¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| T: N C Kelly| OR: 95

15/8

Fairly useful 10f winner on the Flat but has offered little in this sphere, faring no better for the switch to handicaps. Needs more.

Form: 0/000P9-

Bringsty⁴³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| T: N C Kelly| OR: 94

9/1

Fair on Flat (well-backed winner at Gowran in April) but has shown little in 4 outings in maiden hurdles prior to that. Will need to improve on handicap debut but is worth a market check.

Form: 0008-

Royal Creek⁸⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| T: W Coltherd| OR: 89| D

50/1

Won a Ballinrobe bumper on debut for Edmond Kent in 2022 and sold subsequently for £90,000. Off for more than 2 years prior to making little impact in trio of mares' novice events for current connections. Pulled-up on handicap debut having made mistakes/suffered an overreach. Has a bit to prove.

Form: 1/6P5P-

Cage Rattler^h¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| T: Miss S E Forster| OR: 88

16/1

Remains a maiden from 7 hurdle starts but ran right up to form dropped to 2m on latest start when third in Hexham handicap last month. Typically ridden patiently and should be in the mix if granted a fair pace to aim at.

Form: 8734-63

Shadowfax Of Rohan^t²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 86| BF

8/1

Maiden hurdler took a step forward on his handicap debut when third over this C&D but never looked like justifying market when well held over a longer trip here (20.2f) last month. Will need to raise his game back down in distance.

Form: 4P953-7

Jet Patrol^h¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-1| T: A M Thomson| OR: 84| BF

12/1

Headstrong sort took a step back in the right direction when runner-up at Sedgefield (16.8f) on penultimate start but again pulled too hard when fourth over a slightly longer trip at Kelso 2 weeks ago. Capable from this sort of mark but shows little sign of racing more efficiently.

Form: F759-24

Away She Goes^p¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| T: Paul Robson| OR: 80| D

7/1

Improved for the switch to front-running tactics when off the mark at Kelso (16.2f) early last month and ran at least as well in defeat when a close up third over a longer trip (18.1f) there 2 weeks ago, deserving extra credit having done too much too soon in front. Solid claims.

Form: 9964-13

Top Flight Century³⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| T: A Nicol| OR: 84

16/1

Modest maiden on the Flat for Sir Mark Prescott and little impact on 3 novice/maiden hurdle starts within the space of a month, sent off at long odds each time. Likely campaigned with handicaps in mind and is one to keep an eye on for market .

Form: 74-8

Popa Rich³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| T: J Bedi| OR: 84

40/1

Flattered when close up third of 3 in a juvenile hurdle at Market Rasen in March and subsequently well held from fairly stiff looking opening mark on handicap debut at the same course last month. May be more competitive from a 4 lb lower mark but hasn't necessarily shaped like a winner in waiting.

Form: 6234-8

Ivynator²⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-5| T: Mrs J C McGregor| OR: 74

20/1

A one-time fair Flat winner for Charlie Fellowes and had been in the doldrums for current connections prior to exceeding all expectations when 80/1 runner-up at this course (20.2f) 25 days ago. Remains to be seen if he can back that up over this sharper test.

Form: 8/50P7-2

Willy Nilly²⁶³

Age: 8| Weight: 10-5| T: Miss L Harrison| OR: 72

20/1

Longstanding maiden hurdler finished a creditable fourth of 11 in a C&D handicap hurdle on reappearance last July but went backwards from that run when well beaten at Kelso 9 weeks later. 2 lb out of the handicap and others make more appeal.

Form: 632P/40-

Inoue^t¹¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-5| T: Paul Robson| OR: 72

18/1

Patchy overall record and wasn't on a going say when eighth of 11 in handicap hurdle (25/1) at Musselburgh (15.6f, good to soft) 112 days ago, probably overdoing things in front. Has been given a break but looks to have his work cut out from 2 lb out of the handicap.

Form: 66B838-

Forecasts

Garrick Painter (15/8), Gonnino (13/2), Away She Goes (7/1), Shadowfax Of Rohan (8/1), Bringsty (9/1), Chichester (11/1), Jet Patrol (12/1), Top Flight Century (16/1), Cage Rattler (16/1), Inoue (18/1), Willy Nilly (20/1), Ivynator (20/1), Popa Rich (40/1), Royal Creek (50/1)

A one-time smart Flat performer, CHICHESTER remains with potential as a hurdler and could be seen to better effect now handicapping. Away She Goes has improved for the switch to front-running tactics and could make another bold bid, with lightly-raced Gonnino open to improvement on handicap debut.
