Legal Beagle^p1²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: B S Hughes| T: N G Richards| OR: 96| BF

14/1

Promise in bumper/trio of novice hurdles and stepped up again to finish third in Hexham handicap early last month. Shaped as if amiss back there next time so must bounce back with cheekpieces applied.

Form: 5/97-53P

Zip Pearl²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Henry Brooke| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 93

5/1

Took a step forward stepped upped in trip for her handicap debut when second at Bangor in May and ran to a similar level when filling that same position over C&D 4 weeks ago. Should be in the mix.

Form: 0853-22

White Walker^t⁹²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: William Shanahan⁽⁷⁾| T: G Hanmer| OR: 87

13/2

Improved for the step up in trip/application of a tongue strap when runner-up in a similar event at Southwell back in April. Not dismissed from the same mark on first start since leaving Dan Skelton.

Form: 6/68802-

Cosheston^p⁸⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-1| J: Sean Quinlan| T: J Candlish| OR: 85

5/1

Still without a victory, but he posted good third of 13 in handicap hurdle (22/1) at Bangor (19.6f) in April after 5 months off the track. Off since so may need this outing.

Form: 754P/83-

Major Snugfit^p³⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: Nathan Moscrop⁽³⁾| T: R Menzies| OR: 81

12/1

Fair 1m4f Flat winner who shaped better than bare result when fifth over timber at Market Rasen (16.5f) in May. Exploits mixed on the level since but mark doesn't look beyond him.

Form: 064D5-5

Lambs Lane^p,t⁴¹

Age: 9| Weight: 10-10| J: Charlie Price⁽⁵⁾| T: J L Flint| OR: 80

17/2

Bumper winner in Ireland back in 2017. Still a maiden over hurdles following 21 attempts, but was in the process of running better than previously when departing heavily 2 out at Ffos Las last month.

Form: 0/9P5-4F

Bizerta^t²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-9| J: C J Todd⁽³⁾| T: S Allwood| OR: 79| BF

4/1

Shaped much better than the result when sixth of 11 in handicap hurdle (3/1) at Market Rasen (20.6f, good to soft) last month, eased quickly after bad mistake last. Can get back on track here.

Form: 467-436

Andapa^p²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-5| J: T J O'Brien| T: M Roberts| OR: 75

6/1

It's now thirteen runs since last win in 2018, but she did hint at a revival from a falling mark when fifth at Worcester 24 days ago. Down a further 5 lb so not totally dismissed.

Form: 258-955

Chat To Charlie^t1⁵⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-3| J: Max Kendrick| T: D Killahena & G McPherson| OR: 73WS

11/1

A fair second on bumper debut but has shown little all 4 runs since. Tongue tie applied for handicap debut.

Form: 27P/67

Lady P^p1⁵⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: C O'Farrell| T: J Coulson| OR: 68

50/1

Unplaced on sole outing in points and well held in a 3 starts over hurdles. Cheekpieces on for handicap bow.

Forecasts

Bizerta (4/1), Zip Pearl (5/1), Cosheston (5/1), Andapa (6/1), White Walker (13/2), Lambs Lane (17/2), Chat To Charlie (11/1), Major Snugfit (12/1), Para Queen (12/1), Legal Beagle (14/1), Lady P (50/1)

A host in with chances here but Sam Allwood's BIZERTA gets the tentative vote to open his account having shaped much better than the bare result when sixth at Market Rasen last month, eased quickly after making a bad mistake at the last. Zip Pearl heads the dangers having filled the runner-up spot on her last couple of starts, with Major Snugfit next on the list.
