Selected odds by:
Well held on the level at Thirsk (12f) in April but confirmed himself back in form when fourth in a C&D handicap last week, no extra run-in. Eased 1 lb as a result and no forlorn hope.
|
Promise in bumper/trio of novice hurdles and stepped up again to finish third in a C&D handicap 15 days ago, mistake usual 3 out but staying on up straight. May do better again.
|
Losing run stretches back to 2017 and he was some way below his best for Patrick G. Kelly during the spring. Mark has fallen plenty but yard switch needs to have positive effect now. Visor fitted.
|
Multiple Flat winner who landed a C&D juvenile hurdle in 2018. Lightly raced since, running best effort for a while when third in a selling handicap at Cartmel (17.2f) recently. Needs to build on that
|
Dual novice hurdle winner who looked all set to dispel host of lesser efforts when falling at the last at Sedgefield (16.8f) in April (likely would have won). 3 lb higher now but respected in any case
|
Maiden who ended last season in good heart and picked up where she left off when runner-up over C&D 2 weeks ago, staying on run-in. Entitled to give another good account.
|
Little impact over hurdles last year but did show first form in this sphere when third in a C&D handicap 8 days ago (in cheekpieces). Headgear needs to have desired effect again.
|
Posted one of her better efforts when fifth of 12 in a C&D handicap 15 days ago, keeping on gradually up the straight. Task now is to back that up.
|
Yet to better poor form over hurdles and never threatened when seventh in a C&D handicap on his latest outing 2 weeks ago.

Forecasts
Al Kherb (7/2), Legal Beagle (7/2), Lord Caprio (9/2), Placedela Concorde (6/1), Molly Whuppie (8/1), Sweet Flora (11/1), Orient Sunset (12/1), Major Snugfit (12/1), Elusive Red (16/1), Pateen (18/1)
A tricky opener with the vote in favour of PLACEDELA CONCORDE. He looked all set to run his best race for some time prior to falling at the last at Sedgefield in April (looked most likely winner) and he could be worth chancing to confirm the promise of that run following a short break. Legal Beagle remains low mileage and is feared, ahead of Al Kherb and Molly Whuppie.
