8/11

Winner of a point-to-point in November 2014 and successful in a bumper on debut for this yard in April 2015. Having his first start in over a year when finishing runner-up at Southwell over 3m in November and likely to run well once more.

Mackie Dee^h1⁹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Henry Brooke| T: J Mackie

66/1

Well beaten in two 2m bumpers including here last time out. Upped in trip for hurdling debut but likely best watched in a first time hood.

Form: 0733-

Notnow Seamus³⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: B S Hughes| T: Mrs Marjorie Fife

10/1

Finished runner-up on bumper debut and filled the same position over an extended 2m5f on hurdling debut at Ayr a month ago. Unproven on likely better ground here but an interesting contender in a small field.

13/8

Made the frame in three of five racecourse appearances so far. Finished third over 2m6f at Newcastle on soft ground last time out. Steps up in trip here and sole outing on the predicted good going resulted in a heavy defeat on debut.

Form: 9-23

Forecasts

For Instance (8/11), Quietly (13/8), Notnow Seamus (10/1), Mackie Dee (66/1)

FOR INSTANCE represents the in form Jonjo O'Neill stable (9/45 recently) and can get off the mark at the third time of asking over hurdles following a couple of second place finishes. The selection ran well when runner-up at Southwell over this trip in November and can take this on his first outing since. Quietly is unproven on the likely better ground here but has decent form in the book and can claim second with Notnow Seamus and taken to get the better of Mackie Dee for third.
