2nd (2)  Rebel Leader |  | |  | | | 9 | Charlie Hammond | Dr Richard Newland | Won two in a row in autumn 2021; very lightly raced since and has failed to shine, with a first-fence fall last June when last seen; returns with something to prove but runs off last winning mark; watch the betting. | ||
3rd (1)  Kym Eyre | | | | | | 7 | Isabel Williams | Evan Williams | Came under pressure early but that didn't stop her winning at Stratford (3m3f, good to soft) in April; a 6lb rise may not stop her if she's in the same good form as last time; ran well on good ground in March. | ||
1st (3)  Mystic Man | | | | | | 6 | Ben Bromley | Oliver Sherwood | Point winner who improved upon his hurdle form to win on chase debut at Southwell (2m4f, good) three weeks ago; this lightly raced 6yo could have more to offer over fences and there's every chance he'll stay 3m; player. |
The lightly raced 6yo MYSTIC MAN is taken to make it 2-2 over fences having won on his chase debut at Southwell three weeks ago. Kym Eyre also arrives on the back of a win and is an obvious danger.[Ben Hutton]

(3)  Valamix | | | | | | 6 | Miss Alice Stevens | Jamie Snowden | Has shown ability, such as when second in maiden hurdle at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) last July, and it's possible he needed the run at Huntingdon last month; however, he's now been tailed off in both handicaps (2m4f/2m, good) and has something to prove. | ||
(5)  The Bandit | | | | | | 8 | Ms Laura Ward | Neil King | Won at Southwell (2m4f, good to soft) in April on third handicap start; of interest on that form but he's failed to replicate it the next twice. | ||
1st (2)  Sermando | | | | | | 9 | Miss Fern O'Brien | Alexandra Dunn | Well handicapped on form for Jonjo O'Neill as recent as last December; however, he failed to fire on his last three starts for that yard and was sold for £2,500 last month; needs to turn things around on stable debut. | ||
(7)  Rebel Royal | | | | | | 10 | Lilly Pinchin | Ben Case | 10yo who has been beaten on his last 22 starts going back to October 2019, and he was pulled up at Uttoxeter two weeks ago when back from some time off; however, he may have needed that latest run and is on a competitive mark on last summer's best efforts; not written off. | ||
2nd (4)  Never No Trouble | | | | | | 4 | Abbie McCain | Donald McCain | 4yo whose jumping can lack fluency but she's run some good races this year, winning at Hereford (2m, good) in February and very close third at Ludlow (2m5f, good to soft) last time; firmly in calculations today. | ||
4th (6)  Pollypockett | | | | | | 6 | Tabitha Worsley | Alex Hales | Good-ground bumper winner whose hurdle form has been inferior, but she's lightly raced in this sphere and returned from an absence with an encouraging third at Market Rasen (2m4f, good to soft) last month; may be able to build on that latest performance and she's one to consider. | ||
3rd (1)  Enthused | | | | | | 6 | Miss Gina Andrews | James Owen | Off the mark at the eighth attempt over hurdles at Huntingdon (extended 2m3f, good) 12 days ago; unexposed at this sort of trip and his useful Flat form provides optimism he may still have more to offer in this code. |
Bumper winner POLLYPOCKETT made an encouraging return from an absence at Market Rasen last month and earns the vote ahead of Never No Trouble, who went very close at Ludlow last time. Enthused is another key player on the back of his Huntingdon win.[Ben Hutton]

(8)  Overtougeorge | | | | | | 9 | Charlie Todd | Charles & Adam Pogson | Well treated on last year's best hurdle form and he was returning from an absence when pulled up in a chase at Southwell three weeks ago; however, he's never really shone over fences and others are preferred. | ||
(1)  Order Of St John | | | | | | 6 | Kielan Woods | D J Jeffreys | Won four-runner maiden hurdle at Leicester (1m7f, good to firm) last November and soft ground may not have suited in Sandown handicap next time; however, he's failed to shine on the Flat this year which dents confidence in his claims on this chase debut. | ||
(6)  Estate Italiana | | | | | | 6 | Philip Armson | Alexandra Dunn | Won at Ludlow (2m, good) in February and enters calculations on that performance, but he hasn't hit the same heights the next twice. | ||
1st (3)  Go Fox | | | | | | 8 | Jack Quinlan | Neil King | His mark continues to fall and he showed signs of spark at Southwell (2m4f, good) three weeks ago, but he was nevertheless soundly beaten in fourth and needs to find something extra here. | ||
(5)  Pittsburg | | | | | | 7 | Ben Poste | Ryan Potter | Didn't threaten last July on sole chase start (2m, good) but it wasn't a bad run and he was a good second over hurdles (2m1f, good) the following month on his last jumps outing; some good performances on Flat AW this year and not ruled out now back over fences. | ||
2nd (7)  Uncle O | | | | | | 9 | Harry Cobden | Clare Hobson | His losing run goes back 13 races to July 2021 and this is his first start since last December (wind surgery since); however, he goes well fresh and was in pretty good form when last seen; could be thereabouts. | ||
3rd (4)  Cloudy Wednesday | | | | | | 7 | Lewis Stones | Caroline Fryer | Won here (2m5f, good) in February and back to form to score at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) 12 days ago; there is a question mark regarding this drop back in trip but he's not short of pace and is respected up just 2lb. | ||
(2)  Arbennig | | | | | | 7 | Will Featherstone | Jamie Snowden | Won over C&D (good) last May and returned from an absence with a fair third at Ludlow (2m, good to soft) last month; could build on that latest performance today and he's one to consider. |
This could go to UNCLE O, who has had wind surgery since his last run last December and goes well fresh. C&D winner Arbennig is feared most following an encouraging return at Ludlow, with recent Huntingdon winner Cloudy Wednesday next on the list.[Ben Hutton]

(5)  Smart Deal | | | | | | 4 | Harry Cobden | James Owen | Respectable fourth at Uttoxeter (2m, good) last month on second start but needs to better that form here and he was well beaten at Aintree (2m, good) next time; declared 8.55 Stratford yesterday. | ||
2nd (4)  Thorpeness | | | | | | 5 | Tristan Durrell | Dan Skelton | Following wind surgery, and sporting a first-time tongue-tie (retained), he left his two bumper runs miles behind when third on recent hurdle debut at Huntingdon (2m, good); needs to take another step forward here but he's in excellent hands to continue to progress. | ||
4th (1)  Book Of Secrets | | | | | | 5 | Charlie Todd | Charles & Adam Pogson | Flat winner who was 0-4 over hurdles for Dan Skelton but showed enough to suggest he can be a force in this line-up; changed hands for £7,000 four days after finishing second in a Stratford seller a fortnight ago. | ||
3rd (2)  Sir Canford | | | | | | 7 | Sam Twiston-Davies | Dr Richard Newland | Two-time Flat winner who has also shown ability over hurdles, and new trainer has won three of the last six runnings; market check advised but he was below par over hurdles and on the Flat on his final two runs in 2021 and he has a very hefty absence to defy; debut for this yard. | ||
| 1st (3) State Of Bliss | | | | | | 5 | Jack Quinlan | Neil King | Talented on the Flat and he was a good third at Kempton (2m, good) last month on his second hurdle/stable start; not quite at the same level when well-beaten second here (2m4f, good) seven days later but he retains potential in this code and is a leading candidate today. |
This could be a good opportunity for talented Flat performer STATE OF BLISS to get off the mark over hurdles. The Dan Skelton-trained Thorpeness is second choice ahead of his former stablemate Book Of Secrets.[Ben Hutton]

(3)  Sopran Thor | | | | | | 8 | Paul O'Brien | Louise Allan | Left alone to win selling handicap chase over C&D in April on final run for Gary Moore; however, he was in rear when unseating mid-race at Warwick on his stable debut then finished down the field at Plumpton last time. | ||
| 2nd (1) Hatcher | | | | | | 10 | Tristan Durrell | Dan Skelton | Good third at Ascot (2m, good to soft) in April and, after pulled up in a hot handicap at Aintree, he was a fair third of six at Warwick (2m, good to firm) 11 days ago; drops back in grade and holds solid claims. | ||
(4)  Name In Lights | | | | | | 7 | Brendan Powell | Joe Tizzard | Two hurdle wins last spring (1m7f/2m, good); his jumping has been an issue on all three chase starts but he still managed a fair third at Kempton (2m4f, good) last time; could be a contender if minimising the blunders. | ||
(5)  Pawpaw | | | | | | 6 | Sam Twiston-Davies | David Bridgwater | Won on the first two occasions he wore this visor, at Hereford (2m5f, good to soft) and Fontwell (2m5f, good to soft) with a third of four at Plumpton in between (3m1f, good; in cheekpieces); could have more to offer in the headgear, in which he was declared to run in the 6.15 at Stratford yesterday. | ||
1st (2)  Quoi De Neuf | | | | | | 9 | Harry Cobden | Evan Williams | Below par over hurdles at Uttoxeter (2m4f, soft) last month but in good form on good going at Ludlow earlier this year, with a win (2m5f, hurdles) and a close second (3m, fences); respected now back on better ground. |
The Dan Skelton-trained HATCHER is taken to capitalise on the drop back down in trip. Quoi De Neuf is a likely danger now back on better ground, while Name In Lights can pose a big threat if cutting out the blunders. Pawpaw has done very well in this visor but was due to run at Stratford last night.[Ben Hutton]

| 2nd (2) Nevendon | | | | | | 6 | Sam Twiston-Davies | Alexandra Dunn | Having been bought out of John McConnell's yard for £1,600 he returned to form with a win in a first-time tongue-tie (retained today) in a novice selling hurdle at Stratford (2m, good) a fortnight ago; faces a tougher task now back in a handicap but he did it nicely last time and is respected. | ||
4th (4)  Glimpse Of Gold | | | | | | 12 | Jay Tidball | Sarah Humphrey | A win in this race last season was the middle leg of a hat-trick and he's fully 14lb lower than when last successful; however, this 12yo has struggled to get competitive this year and a major turnaround is needed. | ||
3rd (5)  Sisterandbrother | | | | | | 5 | Harry Cobden | Milton Harris | Flat winner who won a maiden at Huntingdon (2m, good) 12 days ago when wearing first-time tongue-tie (retained today) on second hurdle start; open to further improvement in this code; could go well on handicap debut. | ||
1st (1)  Too Friendly | | | | | | 5 | Mr Alex Chadwick | James Owen | Ex-Dan Skelton 5yo who has been beaten 12 times since his last win in November 2021 but he's edged down the weights and was a good third at Southwell (2m, good) three weeks ago on his second run for this yard; cheekpieces return (no positive impact on the Flat in the past); could be thereabouts. | ||
5th (3)  Lipa K | | | | | | 5 | Conor Ring | Evan Williams | Good-ground bumper winner who scored at Warwick (2m, soft) in March on his second handicap start and followed up at Ludlow (2m, good to soft); could have more left in the tank and holds strong claims in this hat-trick bid. |
The unexposed 5yo LIPA K (nap) has won at Warwick and Ludlow the last twice and can complete the hat-trick. Nevendon readily won a seller at Stratford on his recent stable debut and could be best of the rest, although Too Friendly and Sisterandbrother also arrive on the back of positive performances.[Ben Hutton]

| 4th (3) Prince Of Bad Lins | | | | | | 5 | Ben Poste | Ryan Potter | Has dropped down the weights and he may have needed the run at Ffos Las (fences) a fortnight ago on his first outing since last August; however, his profile isn't particularly convincing and he's now 0-11. | ||
3rd (1)  Boleyn Boy | | | | | | 5 | Harry Bannister | Ben Case | Left his handicap debut flop miles behind when runner-up at Chepstow (2m3f, good to soft) in April; has shown signs of promise on good ground and he's a strong contender if seeing out this longer trip. | ||
2nd (2)  For Gina | | | | | | 5 | Tom Cannon | Lucy Wadham | Bang there turning for home on last month's handicap debut at Warwick (3m1f, good) before weakening into a 10l third; could benefit from this slightly shorter trip and she's one to consider. | ||
1st (4)  If Karl's Berg Did | | | | | | 8 | Harry Cobden | Milton Harris | Continues to drop down the weights and he was a fair third of 11 at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) a fortnight ago; however, he was still soundly beaten and is now 0-19; unproven at today's trip. | ||
(5)  Blazing Hartingo | | | | | | 5 | Isabel Williams | Evan Williams | His first three rules runs came in quick succession last month (on good ground); tailed off on first two occasions (2m5f/2m7f) but fair fourth of seven at Ffos Las (2m) last Saturday; finished second in a 3m point and he's interesting now back up in trip in first-time visor on handicap debut. |
The unexposed mare FOR GINA ran well for a long way over 3m1f at Warwick on last month's handicap debut and is taken to post a first win over this slightly shorter trip. Handicap newcomer Blazing Hartingo may provide the chief threat, ahead of Chepstow runner-up Boleyn Boy.[Ben Hutton]
