Gregor³⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton

3/1

In the frame in all 4 bumpers despite, matching previous efforts when third at Ludlow (15.8f) last month. In excellent hands and should find races over hurdles.

Form: 4323-

Nobby²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-13| J: Tom Cannon| T: A King| OR: 120| BF| D

8/11

Useful dual bumper winner in 2018/19 who shaped well returning from a long absence when third on Newbury hurdling debut in February. Bit disappointing at Hexham since but well worth another chance.

Form: 2112/3-2

Titaneasy¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: C Brace| T: Noel Williams

50/1

Modest in bumpers and looked badly in need of the experience sent hurdling in a first-time hood over C&D days ago.

Form: 0466-4

Byzantine Empire^t¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-7| J: P J Brennan| T: F O'Brien

3/1

Fairly useful maiden on Flat (stays 1¼m) for John Gosden. Progressed as expected from his hurdling debut when third in 15.8f novice at Ludlow 16 days ago and may do better again.

Form: 5-3

Lady P¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-6| J: C J Todd⁽³⁾| T: J Coulson

200/1

Unplaced on sole outing in points and well held in a pair of maiden hurdles.

Form: 5-00

Forecasts

Nobby (8/11), Byzantine Empire (3/1), Gregor (3/1), Lafilia (25/1), Titaneasy (50/1), Lady P (200/1)

NOBBY and Byzantine Empire look the pair to concentrate on. The former was a touch disappointing when failing to land the odds at Hexham last time, but is well worth another chance given his smart bumper form back in 2018-19.
