Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: G Sheehan| T: S Curran| OR: 119| D

16/5

Fairly useful hurdler nowadays who made little impact on first run over timber since last summer at Southwell 28 days ago but he has been in winning form on the Flat last winter. Market may guide.

Form: 2P/P30-0

Swaffham Bulbeck^t²³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: Jack Tudor⁽⁵⁾| T: B Ellison| OR: 118

3/1

2m Fakenham winner of claiming hurdle on final run for Olly Murphy. Little show in 4 runs for Conor Dore but took a step back in the right direction on yard debut when third on the Flat 3 weeks ago.

Form: 1/2841-5

Now Children^h1,t²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: P J Brennan| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 110

9/1

Four-time Flat winner for Clive Cox who made a pleasing start to hurdling when second in a novice at Huntingdon. Left Dan Skelton and not in the same form both starts since following a wind op.

Form: 2-53

Paris Protocol^p³⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Henry Brooke| T: M Walford| OR: 109

12/1

Looked perked up by a first-time visor when off the mark in handicap hurdle at Market Rasen 11 months ago. Little impact in 3 starts on the Flat this year and cheekpieces on for 1st time over jumps.

Form: 0485/17-

Right Destination³⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: C Brace⁽³⁾| T: F O'Brien| OR: 107

10/3

Returned with a fine effort in second in a Stratford handicap last month, just finding the thriving winner a bit sharper having fluffed 3 out. One to consider with yard in fine form.

Form: 5384F-2

Two Blondes³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: B S Hughes| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 105

9/1

Wasn't disgraced back over timber when third at Stratford last month having had a couple of spins on the Flat in June. May need more respite from the handicapper to feature.

Form: 377U2-3

Joie De Vivre^h¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-5| J: Sean Quinlan| T: M Todhunter| OR: 98

17/2

Fair Flat winner who improved on previous efforts when a close fifth in a first-time hood in this sphere at Uttoxeter. Opening mark suffered as a result and will need to improve again to feature.

Form: 775

Placedela Concorde^t³⁴⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-2| J: Ross Chapman| T: M A Barnes| OR: 95

25/1

Dual novice hurdle winner (Kelso and at Perth) at the start of 2018/19 season but found life tougher in handicaps after. Not seen since a poor chasing debut 11 months ago so may need this run.

Forecasts

Swaffham Bulbeck (3/1), All Yours (16/5), Right Destination (10/3), Joie De Vivre (17/2), Two Blondes (9/1), Now Children (9/1), Let's Sway (10/1), Paris Protocol (12/1), Placedela Concorde (25/1)

LET'S SWAY has slipped to an attractive mark following a creditable fifth on reappearance at Market Rasen last month. She did plenty in the middle part of the race that day and, if she can settle better here, looks sure to play a part in the finish. Fergal O'Brien continues to fire in the winners and his Right Destination looks a big threat on paper, ahead of Now Children.
