Adsup^t1³¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: T J O'Brien| T: S R B Crawford

33/1

Pulled up twice in point-to-point company this spring and probably best watched in a first time tongue tie on his rules debut.

Form: PP-

Ballyhowne^t¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: B S Hughes| T: S R B Crawford| OR: 108

10/1

Runner-up in a point-to-point on debut but best effort under rules came when 5L fourth at Downpatrick (good) over 2m3f in March. Likely to find a few too good having disappointed at the same track last time out.

Form: 0F040-7

Dance Of Fire²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Lucy Alexander| T: N W Alexander| OR: 105

8/1

Three time winner on the Flat and achieved a career high mark of 89 in that sphere. Only modest form in five outings over hurdles and others make more appeal in this contest.

Enzani^p,t²⁹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: R Johnson| T: J C McConnell| BF

5/4

Twice finished runner-up last summer including over 2m4f here on soft ground when beaten 14L as favourite. Unraced since finishing last of 20 on the Flat in a valuable handicap at Galway in July but likely to run well in this if fit for his return to action.

Form: 772/2-

Lastin' Memories³⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Jan Faltejsek| T: Miss S E Forster

33/1

Beaten 15L into third on heavy ground on his hurdling debut at Kelso in March. Well held tackling good ground for the first time over 2m2f at the same track subsequently and likely best watched here.

Form: 539-

Outlaw Josey Wales²³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: S Mulqueen⁽³⁾| T: R M Smith| OR: 95

25/1

Finished runner-up over C&D on good ground 13 months ago but has been in poor form since. Beaten 33L at Hexham last time out and needs to bounce back if he's to take this.

Form: 2/69FP0-

Painters Lad¹³⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Jamie Hamilton⁽³⁾| T: Mrs A C Hamilton

66/1

Returning from over 14 months off the track when finishing fifth of seven at Musselburgh (good) on hurdling debut in January. Took a keen hold on that occasion and probably best watched today.

Form: 8/5-

Uluroo²³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Craig Nichol| T: Miss P Robson

22/1

Beaten 13½L into fifth when making his hurdling debut over 2m at Hexham (good) last month. Plenty to like about that effort and an interesting runner in this contest.

Form: 45-

Mr Grumpy²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: D R Fox| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell

6/1

Winning handicapper on the Flat in 2016 and signs of ability in two starts in competitive events so far. Finished 21L fifth of 11 here on good ground last time out but yard could be in better form (0/9 recently).

Form: 55-

Boogie Life²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-7| J: Callum Bewley⁽³⁾| T: J S Goldie

7/1

Bumper winner at Carlisle on good-to-soft ground in May 2015 and ran well under a penalty subsequently. Returning from nearly two years off the track when well held in a Grade 2 bumper at Aintree last month and well beaten over C&D on debut last time out.

Form: 8213/06-

Henpecked^p²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-7| J: Henry Brooke| T: A C Whillans| OR: 100

10/1

Successful three times on the Flat and best hurdles effort came when beaten 21L into fourth on good-to-soft ground at Carlisle over 2m1f last month. Well beaten here subsequently and has a bit to prove at present.

Form: 547-

Lucky Boo^h⁷⁸⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 10-7| J: Adrian Lane| T: H Burns

100/1

Well beaten in eight starts at up to 1m on the Flat for previous stable to March 2015. Unraced since and looks likely to struggle on her debut for a new yard here.

Forecasts

Enzani (5/4), Mr Grumpy (6/1), Boogie Life (7/1), Dance Of Fire (8/1), Henpecked (10/1), Ballyhowne (10/1), Uluroo (22/1), Outlaw Josey Wales (25/1), Lastin' Memories (33/1), Adsup (33/1), Painters Lad (66/1), Lucky Boo (100/1)

ENZANI ran well in a couple of hurdle outings last summer and can register his first success at the fourth attempt in this sphere on his return to action from a lay-off. Uluroo's fifth placed finish last time out reads well in the context of that and a repeat of that can see him claim second ahead of Mr Grumpy with the form of the stable a slight concern for the latter.
