2/1

Fairly useful hurdler, scoring in 19f novice at Fontwell on return. Got back on the up on his second handicap start when fourth at Wincanton last time and should be in the mix after wind op.

Form: 8/62-104

13/2

Flat winner in Germany who opened his account over hurdles for current yard in 2m maiden here. Pulled up in Sandown handicap last time and needs to bounce back to feature with a visor applied.

Form: F51P

Jungle Prose²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-8| J: James Davies| T: N J Gifford| OR: 102

15/8

Warwick bumper winner who hit the frame in her first 3 starts over hurdles. Looked decidedly one paced when sixth at this course 3 weeks ago and this step up in trip should be right up her street.

Form: 132326

Everything For You^v¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 10-8| J: C J Todd⁽³⁾| T: Ian Williams| OR: 102

7/2

Runner-up in Lingfield jumpers bumper recently but proving disappointing over hurdles, only ninth in 2m4f Newbury handicap last time. Tries 3m+ now with something to prove.

Form: 570-P29

Albert Hucklebuck^p1¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: J E Moore| T: C Gordon| OR: 93

14/1

Showed plenty of promise when runner-up on only start in bumpers, but not a great deal of short-term encouragement to glean from trio of novice/maiden hurdle exploits. Cheekpieces on for handicap bow.

Form: 2604

Forecasts

Jungle Prose (15/8), Rookie Trainer (2/1), Everything For You (7/2), Khan (13/2), Albert Hucklebuck (14/1)

This step up in trip is sure to suit Nick Gifford's JUNGLE PROSE, who looked decidedly one paced when sixth at this course 3 weeks ago and should have more to offer with her mark easing a touch. Rookie Trainer got back on the up at Wincanton earlier this year and heads up the possible dangers, ahead of handicap debutant Albert Hucklebuck.
