Selected odds by:

Third Estate⁵⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Bryony Frost| T: N B King| OR: 102

9/4

Not too many miles on the clock and possible he can pay his way before long. Ran out of steam here last time, so the drop in trip may suit. The burden of top weight a tough ask.

Form: 453-675

Go On Mayson^t³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-12| J: R Patrick| T: S Thomas| OR: 100

22/1

Modest ability on the Flat and not achieved much in three starts over hurdles up to now. Others more appealing on this occasion.

Form: 364

Bulletproof^p³²

Age: 12| Weight: 11-10| J: Daniel Sansom| T: K O Cunningham-Brown| OR: 98| C

16/1

On a handy mark and highly encouraging that he showed some of his old sparkle last time out. Not one to trust implicitly but capable of making the frame in a race of this nature if events unfold to suit. (Has won a similar race here before.)

Form: 4533-93

Dream Free^b¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-10| J: Kieron Edgar| T: D Pipe| OR: 98

33/1

Won a seller on the Flat before joining his current yard. Yet to inspire much confidence in this sphere, however, and best left to his own devices in spite of his trainer's record with this type of animal.

Form: P-755

Act Of Supremacy⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-6| J: Patrick Cowley⁽³⁾| T: Miss E C Lavelle| OR: 94

9/1

Well beaten in both previous starts for his current yard and has a good bit to prove just now. Best watched.

Form: 7P44/59

Lord Fendale^p⁷⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 11-6| J: C Brace⁽⁷⁾| T: Tim Vaughan| OR: 94| BF

5/1

In the minority, in that he was in good form when last seen out and has gone well after a break. Ground and trip should suit; has to be considered. Rider's 7lb claim also a handy boost at the weights.

Form: 009-522

Hoover Fever^b,t1¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: Ben Godfrey⁽¹⁰⁾| T: C L Tizzard| OR: 92

66/1

Tongue tied for the first time after being pulled up here last time out. Form has dipped significantly as this season has progressed so the drop to this grade looks a logical move. (Blinkers had very little impact last time.)

Form: 72380P

Mash Potato^p,t²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-1| J: James Bowen| T: N C Kelly| OR: 89

6/1

Third in a C&D seller last time out leaves him with obvious place claims back here in the same grade. The fact he's still 5lb above his last winning mark is a telling statement about his limits, though.

Form: 5523-93

Petrify^p,t⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 10-9| J: Robert Williams⁽³⁾| T: B J Llewellyn| OR: 83| C

16/1

Likes this course and is versatile enough to cope with the drop in trip. One to bear in mind in a very weak race.

Form: 313310

Mutoondresdashorse^p,t²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-7| J: Tom Buckley⁽¹⁰⁾| T: N J Hawke| OR: 81

16/1

Not much to set the pulse racing from his previous starts over hurdles and even the presence of a 10lb claimer in the saddle does little to make the gelding an appealing proposition at the weights.

Form: 9-75566

Mollyow²³

Age: 10| Weight: 10-7| J: Jordan Nailor⁽⁵⁾| T: D Burchell| OR: 81| BF

16/1

Not won since 2016 and makes very limited appeal after just a couple of spins on the Flat in two years. Not difficult to overlook on this occasion.

Form: 671353/

Rubheira^h,t²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-7| J: Sean Houlihan| T: B Barr| OR: 81

100/1

Returned to racing under rules after a highly unsuccessful spell in point-to-points. In the right grade but was well beaten last time (held by Mutoondresdashorse on that form) and another that makes little appeal from a punting point of view.

Form: P44998

Scorpion Star^p¹⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 10-5| J: Alexander Thorne⁽³⁾| T: M Hill| OR: 79

7/1

Formerly useful in point-to-points but form over regulation obstacles has been patchy on occasions. However, his last two appearances at this course read well in the context of this race and the gelding is one to consider if supported.

Form: 9563P4

Millen Dollar Man^b³⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 10-4| J: Jamie Bargary| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR: 78| D

66/1

Won over fences (2m5f, good) at Fakenham in May but soon reverted to type afterwards. Blinkers reapplied after he failed to respond in a visor last time out. Hard to recommend despite the drop in trip being an interesting move.

Form: 2-1U00P

Slice Of Lemon¹²³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: Rex Dingle⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs D A Hamer| OR: 74

40/1

Well beaten in all four previous starts - including when dropped to this grade last time out. Shouldn't be too hard to omit from the betting plans.

Form: 6P-74

Kilcaragh Boy⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 10-0| J: Hugh Nugent⁽³⁾| T: M Sheppard| OR: 73

14/1

1lb wrong at the weights but suited by dropping back to this sort of trip and encouraging that he wasn't beaten far in a decent little race last time out. Place claims if able to dish out a repeat dose over this shorter distance.

Form: F86455

Forecasts

Third Estate (9/4), Lord Fendale (5/1), Mash Potato (6/1), Scorpion Star (7/1), Act Of Supremacy (9/1), Kilcaragh Boy (14/1), Mollyow (16/1), Bulletproof (16/1), Petrify (16/1), Mutoondresdashorse (16/1), Inniscastle Lad (16/1), Go On Mayson (22/1), Dream Free (33/1), Slice Of Lemon (40/1), Hoover Fever (66/1), Millen Dollar Man (66/1), Rubheira (100/1)

A moderate end to the card but a race that is within the reach of LORD FENDALE, who goes well after a break and will be a tough customer if he runs up to expectations. Bulletproof is another to bear in mind, as he's still capable at this level despite his advancing years; while Mash Potato and Kilcaragh Boy also have feasible chances of making a good fist of things if they consent to run up to the best of their recent levels of form.
