Selected odds by:

Stay Out Of Court^p⁴⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 11-12| J: Mr Zac Baker| T: A Wintle| OR: 99

3/1

Dual point winner who raised his game when opening Rules account in 24.2f Exeter handicap chase in April. Back to from when fourth over C&D last month so he's respected switched back over timber.

Form: 5541-04

Brother Pat^p⁹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: Abbie McCain| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 97

11/1

Maiden who wasn't disgraced in first-time cheekpieces when fifth at Bangor in April and has claims if building on that.

Form: 733P75-

Gold Mountain^p,t¹¹⁴

Age: 11| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr Harry Greasby⁽⁷⁾| T: Mrs E Bishop| OR: 96| D

33/1

Modest strike rate (1-16 over fences) but placed both starts in July 2020. Not seen under Rules for 11 months but did make the frame on 2 of 3 starts in points early this year. Makes yard debut.

Form: P/23646-

Noble Glance^b⁵³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: Jack Andrews| T: C Poulton| OR: 91

15/2

Failed to build on the promise of her reappearance when only fifth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Fontwell (21.8f, good to firm, 9/1) 53 days ago. Down another 5 lb in the weights so not dismissed.

Form: 755P-65

It's For Alan^h⁵³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-2| J: Miss H C Tucker⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss J S Davis| OR: 89

6/1

Runner-up over fences at Huntingdon in November but has run poorly in chases/hurdle since, latest in a first-time tongue strap after 13 weeks off at Fontwell back in May. Others appeal more.

Form: 292P0-P

Call His Bluff⁶⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 11-0| J: Mr Tommie M O'Brien| T: H Chisman| OR: 87

10/1

Remains a maiden after 17 NH runs but produced a career best on just his second start for this yard when runner-up at Southwell in May. Nudged up a couple of pounds so claims if building on that.

Form: 3F4PP-2

Tamango^p⁹³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-8| J: Alice Stevens⁽⁷⁾| T: O Murphy| OR: 81

5/1

Poor form over hurdles so far but it's still early days and last couple of outings (in cheekpieces) were more positive, hitting the frame on both occasions. Not dismissed.

Form: 500043-

Parisian Affair¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-7| J: Miss Pandora Briselden⁽⁷⁾| T: H Whittington| OR: 80

11/1

Has yet to make a significant impact in this sphere and she was pulled up when last seen in 2019. Little impact on the Flat for Roger Charlton this year but work a market check for new yard.

Form: 57495P/

Bob Pebble^h,t²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-1| J: James Turner⁽⁷⁾| T: P R Webber| OR: 74

8/1

Placed both starts in bumpers and showed a bit more on fifth start over hurdles when fourth at Uttoxeter last month. Failed by a long chalk to repeat that effort last time so others preferred.

Form: F6-054P

Flow With Eve^b⁵⁰⁰

Age: 12| Weight: 10-0| J: Miss Thomosina Eyston⁽⁷⁾| T: B Lund| OR: 73

66/1

Long-standing maiden hurdler who acquitted herself well at Exeter on penultimate start but ran badly back in handicap company last time. Remains opposable for win purposes.

Form: 500047/

Coisa Blanco^p⁵²

Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: Toby Wynne⁽⁷⁾| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 69

12/1

Untrustworthy individual who was well held sent chasing at Bangor back in 2019. Not seen under Rules since but did make the frame in points towards the back end of May.

Form: 56/3-534

Forecasts

Stay Out Of Court (3/1), Tamango (5/1), It's For Alan (6/1), Noble Glance (15/2), Bob Pebble (8/1), Call His Bluff (10/1), Brother Pat (11/1), Parisian Affair (11/1), Coisa Blanco (12/1), Gold Mountain (33/1), Flow With Eve (66/1)

An open-looking handicap in which it could pay to side with NOBLE GLANCE, who didn't offer much on both starts at Fontwell back May but can take advantage of a further 5 lb drop in the weights stepped back up in trip. Call His Bluff is feared most if he's able to build on his career-best runner-up effort at Southwell last time, with Parisian Affair next on the list.
