|
10/1 |
Harbour Lake
Pulled up (bled from the nose) at Cheltenham Festival in March but quickly bounced back with creditable second to Long Draw there (3m, good) last month; on a tough mark now but was placed in this race last year and probably won't be far away.

10/1 |
Topgun Simmy
In-form 6yo who was one of two to pull nicely clear of the others when winning a conditions hurdle at Down Royal (3m, good) on Monday; has 7lb penalty to carry in this competitive handicap but ought to run well again.
|
|
|
- Long Draw
- S Bowen / O Murphy

|
2/1 |
Long Draw
Made very good progress last season and had three of today's rivals behind when coming from off the pace for driven-out success at Cheltenham (3m, good) last month; 6lb higher today but could still have more to offer.

- Tiny Tetley
- Callum Pritchard / P Hobbs & J White

5/1 |
Tiny Tetley
Ended last season in excellent form, completing a hat-trick with a ready C&D success (good; Thank You Ma'am second) in a quite valuable series final three weeks ago; last two wins were under today's claiming rider Callum Pritchard; probably still on the upgrade; good chance.

- Zain Nights
- G Sheehan / L Wadham

Zain Nights
Just did enough to pip My Bobby Dazzler in this race last year (good ground; wore cheekpieces) and returned to form with front-running success in first-time visor at Newbury (3m, good to soft) in March; safely held, though, in Cheltenham race won by Long Draw in April and remains on career-high mark.

- Thank You Ma'am
- Miss Olive Nicholls / G Nicholls

|
9/1 |
Thank You Ma'am
Won twice from the front last season (2m7f/3m) but was no match for Tiny Tetley when second over C&D (good) in series final last month and probably needs to find something extra in new headgear today (usually wears cheekpieces).

- Patriotik
- Isabel Williams / Evan Williams

9/1 |
Patriotik
Doubled his hurdling tally with a win at Doncaster (3m, good to soft) in March and probably bettered that performance when close third of 17 in valuable race at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good to soft) a fortnight later; effectively another 5lb higher here (raised 2lb, Isabel Williams no longer claims 3lb) and not sure to be suited by the quicker ground.

- Lihyan
- William Maggs / R Menzies

|
22/1 |
Lihyan
Collected three 2m7f wins on good ground in early part of last season and looked back in good nick when second at Newcastle (2m4f, good) last month; probably needs recent wind op to enable a career-best effort here, though.
|
|
|
- Porter In The Park
- H Cobden / Miss E C Lavelle
|
|
135
|
22/1 |
Porter In The Park
4-18 over hurdles; probably in career-best form when battling on well for narrow win at Ludlow (2m5f, good; front pair clear) in March, after a break, but contests this stronger race from a 5lb higher mark.
|

- Ki Woo
- Henry Brooke / O Greenall & J Guerriero

18/1 |
Ki Woo
Ex-French 5yo; not an instant success in Britain but ended last season with two small-field novice wins at Bangor (2m3f/2m7f, good); has considerably more on his plate in this good-quality handicap but remains unexposed over this sort of trip; interesting.
|
|
|
- Mostly Sunny
- Tristan Durrell / D Skelton
|
|
141
|
12/1 |
Mostly Sunny
Returned to form in refitted cheekpieces right at the end of last season, collecting a good prize at Plumpton before second under a penalty at Sandown (also 2m4f, good); can feature if suited by the new trip.
|
|
|
- Escapologist
- Sam Twiston-Davies / James Owen
|
|
140
|
25/1 |
Escapologist
Unexposed 6yo who won a 2m4f maiden in January; about 18l behind Mostly Sunny when fourth on recent handicap debut at Plumpton (2m4f, good) but may improve over this longer trip (although he's not bred for it).
|
|
|
- My Bobby Dazzler
- Charlie Deutsch / Mrs M Rowley
|
|
147
|
14/1 |
My Bobby Dazzler
Weakened into fourth behind Long Draw and Harbour Lake at Cheltenham (3m, good) last month; that wasn't a bad run and he's now 4lb lower than when close second to Zain Nights in this race a year ago but younger rivals appeal more all the same.
