Selected odds by:

Exitas¹²

Age: 13| Weight: 11-12| J: Luca Morgan| T: P W Middleton| OR: 99| D

40/1

Struggled for form over both sets of obstacles since 2019 and pulled up sharply on return from a break at Warwick 12 days ago. Drops in class.

Form: 3359/0-P

Connetable^p²⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 11-9| J: Tabitha Worsley| T: H J Evans| OR: 96

33/1

Falling in the weights without showing any sign of taking advantage, running no sort of race at Warwick a month ago.

Form: 5/PP45-P

Mamoo^p²⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-5| J: Tom Midgley⁽⁶⁾| T: S England| OR: 92| D

11/1

Long way below last winning mark and much more like it when runner-up at Wetherby in April (3m). No impact held up at Southwell 4 weeks ago.

Form: 55052-9

Realms Of Fire^p¹²

Age: 8| Weight: 10-8| J: Shane Quinlan| T: L Allan| OR: 81

11/2

Hit the frame in handicaps at Warwick/Wetherby earlier this year and opened his account at Southwell 12 days ago (3m). Likely to give it another good go up 4 lb.

Form: P335-41

Moidore¹²

Age: 12| Weight: 10-6| J: C J Todd| T: C & A Pogson| OR: 79

13/2

Infrequent winner but cut plenty of slack by the assessor and a brace of in-frame efforts of later (latterly behind Realms of Fire) confirm he's competitive.

Form: 67P5-43

Jour A La Plage²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-5| J: K Brogan| T: A Wintle| OR: 78

16/1

Failed to pull up any trees for Evan Williams and no signs of encouragement completed starts for new yard this year.

Form: 35/00U-7

Ali The Hunter^t²⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 10-4| J: Mitchell Bastyan⁽³⁾| T: J Farrelly| OR: 77

9/1

Best effort for a while when second of 16 in handicap hurdle at Taunton (23.9f, good to firm) in April. Has never been the most consistent and failed to back that up over C&D latest.

Form: P/6762-8

King Golan^b¹¹²

Age: 10| Weight: 10-3| J: Charlie Hammond⁽³⁾| T: Dr R D P Newland| OR: 76

5/6

2019 was the last time he tasted success, but has transferred to an excellent new yard and has a lowly mark to exploit.

Form: P23PP4-

Ace Time^p1²⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: Charlie Price| T: J R Jenkins| OR: 72

50/1

Poor maiden on Flat and over hurdles. Upped further in trip with cheekpieces on.

Form: 87757-0

Dorette^t³⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: Philip Armson⁽⁵⁾| T: C N Kellett| OR: 72

16/1

Bumper winner in 2018 and looked set to open her hurdles account in September (23.3f), hitting the front when falling at the last. Mixed bag since, however.

Form: F0476-6

Dalkadam⁶⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 10-0| J: Alexander Thorne| T: J R Jenkins| OR: 69

80/1

Poor performer nowadays over a variety of trips.

Form: P400P0-

Anti Cool^p²⁴

Age: 12| Weight: 10-0| J: Alfie Jordan⁽⁷⁾| T: R Dickin| OR: 69

40/1

Back to form on first run following a second wind op when going close over fences at Warwick (2½m, good) in September. Hasn't come close to matching that form in 5 subsequent starts. Back hurdling.

Form: 2PP56-4

L'Es Fremantle²⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 10-0| J: Harry Kimber⁽⁵⁾| T: M C Chapman| OR: 64

200/1

Has been largely out of sorts for a long time and hard to fancy from 9 lb out of the weights.

Form: 5/FPP9-P

Forecasts

King Golan (5/6), Realms Of Fire (11/2), Moidore (13/2), Ali The Hunter (9/1), Mamoo (11/1), Dorette (16/1), Jour A La Plage (16/1), Connetable (33/1), Exitas (40/1), Anti Cool (40/1), Ace Time (50/1), Dalkadam (80/1), L'Es Fremantle (200/1)

KING GOLAN is just the type of exposed but potentially well handicapped sort Dr Richard Newland excels with, and assuming there's strength behind him in the betting, he's very likely to go well. Realms of Fire and Moidore finished first and third in a handicap at Southwell recently and head the opposition.
