Go Another One^t⁵²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: R Johnson| T: J C McConnell| D

1/3

Five-time hurdle winner with Listed and Grade 3 victories in that sphere earlier this year. Seemless transition to chasing when jumping well to win at Clonmel (2m7f, good) in June. Good spin on the flat last time and will take all the beating here.

Form: 2211-51

Milberry^p¹⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-2| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: N R Mitchell

66/1

Won two points earlier this year but form tailed off between the flags thereafter. Soundly beaten on rules debut here (2m7f, good) 18 days ago and isn't likely to be involved at the business end.

Form: 113-PP6

Notnow Seamus^t¹⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-2| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 137| D

11/4

Improved for joining the Skelton's to win four times over hurdles last year. Only a moderate chasing debut two runs ago but still travelling well when departing six-out at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) recently. Rates the main danger to Go Another One.

Form: 1217-4F

Sussex Road⁴¹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-2| J: T J Phelan| T: A Sadik| OR: 44

100/1

54-race maiden who has an official rating of 44 and some minor prize-money is his best hope.

Form: 44-P444

Lady Markby^v⁶¹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-9| J: Adam Wedge| T: Miss E C Lavelle| OR: 105

10/1

Second run after a wind-operation with first-time visor was better when fourth at Stratford (2m6f, good) 61 days ago. Chasing debut today but is a half-sister to three winners over fences so should have some natural aptitude for this game.

Form: R96P-04

Forecasts

Go Another One (1/3), Notnow Seamus (11/4), Lady Markby (10/1), Milberry (66/1), Sussex Road (100/1)

It is very difficult to see Irish raider GO ANOTHER ONE being beaten here on all known form with a clear round. Notnowseamus was still travelling well at Newton Abbot before falling and has the ability to chase the selection home if building on that. Lady Markby will struggle to beat the aforementioned pair but her pedigree suggests that chasing might bring about some improvement.
