Jimmy Rabbitte^h¹²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Lily Pinchin⁽³⁾| T: Dr R D P Newland| OR: 113| BF

4/1

Put some poor Irish form behind him when landing a quickfire double for new connections at Taunton and Catterick over the winter. Arguably ran a better race in defeat next time out at Market Rasen. Leading contender from in-form stable.

Form: B51114-

Jacbequick^p,t²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Isabel Williams⁽³⁾| T: D Pipe| OR: 113| BF

5/2

Quickly turned out after great effort two days ago at Southwell. Can improve again and this slight step up in trip may help. Might not want the ground to get too quick, however.

Form: 4242-22

Cyrius Moriviere^t²³

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Miss Lucy Turner⁽⁵⁾| T: D L Williams| OR: 113| D

66/1

Very useful hurdler back in his day but has struggled since being sent chasing including falling last time out at Fakenham. Possible this return to hurdles will rejuvenate but questions to be answered.

Form: 8/9P22-F

Billy My Boy^p¹⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 11-11| J: Miss Becky Smith| T: C J Down| OR: 112| CD

12/1

Has been fairly consistent since returning from a long absence with useful runs at Chepstow, Warwick and Stratford. Needs to improve on those efforts to get competitive and best days seem behind him.

Form: U215-32

Bleu Et Noir^h²⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-11| J: Miss Jodie Hughes⁽³⁾| T: Tim Vaughan| OR: 112| CD

20/1

Obviously had problems over the years but capable of running some decent efforts on his day. Warmed up for this with a fair performance over course and distance last time out. Interesting, especially if supported in the market.

Form: 6P7/3P-6

Delface^b,t²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Miss Thomosina Eyston⁽⁷⁾| T: D Pipe| OR: 110| BF

10/1

Has been slightly below par since scoring nicely at Chepstow two months ago. His lack of consistency make him one to be wary of but on his day could have the beating of these rivals.

Form: 1231-34

Green Or Black^p,t³⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: Millie Wonnacott⁽⁷⁾| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 110| CD

8/1

Second in the race last season off a 2lb lower mark. Has had his troubles over the years (two wind operations) but enjoys this track and trip. Needs to put a poor run last time out behind him. Capable if bouncing back.

Form: 23143-P

Powerful Society^t1⁴²

Age: 4| Weight: 11-6| J: Miss N Parker⁽³⁾| T: P F Nicholls| OR: 110

9/4

Admirably consistent for previous trainer including at this track. Remains to be seen whether new connections can end a long losing run. On the overall balance of his form they will need to improve him a fair bit.

Form: 532322-

Excellent Team^t⁷⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Miss H C Tucker⁽⁷⁾| T: M Blake| OR: 103

50/1

Busy if inconsistent hurdler. Ran well in a claimer and a seller last winter after joining new connections but ran like something was amiss on his latest start in April. Maybe best watching here unless market speaks in his favour.

Form: 232227-

Thomas Blossom^t²⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 11-1| J: Mrs A Cox⁽⁷⁾| T: R C Harper| OR: 102| D

66/1

Has lost his way since winning a hurdle then a chase at Exeter and Hereford last winter. Has shown nothing (pulled up twice) in three subsequent starts and hard to get excited about.

Form: 5116P-P

Amour D'Or^t⁴⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 10-9| J: Miss S Whittle⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss G Haywood| OR: 96| C

40/1

Completed a course double last summer but is another who subsequently lost her way. Well beaten on reappearance run at this track in April. Make little appeal.

Form: 1005P-8

Forecasts

Powerful Society (9/4), Jacbequick (5/2), Jimmy Rabbitte (4/1), Green Or Black (8/1), Delface (10/1), Billy My Boy (12/1), Bleu Et Noir (20/1), Amour D'Or (40/1), Excellent Team (50/1), Cyrius Moriviere (66/1), Thomas Blossom (66/1)

JIMMY RABBITTE goes well fresh and can land this contest even if it is arguably on the short side for him. His fourth at Market Rasen last season offers some of the best form on show. Jacbequick is respected following a useful effort just two days ago. Any easing in the ground will help his chances. Green Or Black needs to put a poor run last time out behind him but is capable on his day and could give the two leading selections most to do if on song.
