Half Shot^b³²

Age: 11| Weight: 12-0| T: I Jardine| OR: 118| C| D

7/1

Perked up by first-time blinkers during second half of last season, winning a brace of handicaps over fences at Kelso. Respectable effort back hurdling last month but chasing more his bag.

Form: 23371-5

Imperial Alex^p²²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-13| T: T Lacey| OR: 117| D

9/2

Won 3 on the bounce last spring, completing the hat-trick with a narrow success at Uttoxeter. Well below form next 4 starts but looked back to best after 3 months off when second at Uttoxeter 3 weeks ago despite meeting significant interference. Looks ready to strike.

Form: 198P2-2

Cooper's Cross^p⁴⁰⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 11-12| T: W Coltherd| OR: 116| D

20/1

Had an excellent 2022/23 campaign, winning Sky Bet at Doncaster and second in Scottish National at Ayr. However, following season was a write off and missed all of 2024/25. Best watched.

Form: 8PPPPP/

Ganapathi^p,t⁴⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| T: A M Thomson| OR: 116

10/1

Losing run stretches back 3 years but went close 3 times this spring. However, ran one of his lesser races over C&D 6 weeks ago.

Wasdell Dundalk²⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 11-12| T: Miss L Harrison| OR: 116| CD

16/1

Four-time C&D winner who took a step back in the right direction when second of 5 in handicap chase at Ayr in January but offered little back hurdling after 4 months off here 24 days ago.

Form: 1FPP2-8

Garde Des Champs^t²⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 11-10| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 114| C

12/1

Hurdles winner here who is on a losing run (maiden over fences) but went agonisingly close to bucking that trend after 6 months off at Kelso in April. However, soon done with here following month and now steps up in trip.

Form: 343F2-3

Can't Beat History^t³⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 11-10| T: Henry Oliver| OR: 114| BF| D

4/1

Progressive hurdler/chaser who completed hat-trick back hurdling after a 9-month break at Warwick in April. Good second back over fences at Market Rasen last month and seems sure to go well again.

Form: 1P111-2

Hardy Diamond²³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| T: G Elliott| OR: 111

5/2

Debut winner over hurdles last summer. Winless since but latest second in novice chase at Kilbeggan was her best effort yet despite being friendless in the betting. Could have more to offer now handicapping in this sphere.

Form: 54730-2

Glen Cannel^p²⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| T: L Morgan| OR: 110| CD

11/1

Dual winner over hurdles who was fit from points when off the mark at the second attempt over fences in C&D hunter last month, though his jumping was hardly tested with the pace slow and 4 of the scheduled 18 fences omitted. Will find this more demanding.

Form: 5/5222-1

Forecasts

Hardy Diamond (5/2), Can't Beat History (4/1), Imperial Alex (9/2), Half Shot (7/1), Ganapathi (10/1), Glen Cannel (11/1), Garde Des Champs (12/1), Wasdell Dundalk (16/1), Cooper's Cross (20/1), Everyday Champagne (20/1)

IMPERIAL ALEX looked back to his very best despite suffering significant interference when second at Uttoxeter 3 weeks ago and shades the vote over Can't Beat History, who remains on the upgrade. Hardy Diamond is another to consider making her handicap debut in this sphere.
