Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Ryan Mania| T: A Robson| OR: 102| BF| D

14/1

Matched pick of hurdles form when placed twice over fences during the winter. Step up to 23.4f seemed to backfire in March and now back markedly in trip on return for new yard.

Form: 737289-

Vino's Choice^t²⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 11-11| J: D R Fox| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 101| BF| CD

9/1

Doubled his tally over fences here in June but shaped as though amiss back hurdling at the beginning of this month. Can be a factor back chasing if all is well with him.

Form: 82P-51P

Follow Your Fire^p¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Sean Quinlan| T: J Candlish| OR: 96| BF| D

7/2

Career best when winning 10-runner handicap hurdle at Hexham (16.2f) in June. Quickly back at that level when runner-up in first-time cheekpieces here and lower in the weights over fences.

Form: 6-22152

Little Stevie¹¹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-5| J: Henry Brooke| T: Mrs Stella Barclay| OR: 95| D

8/1

Added 2 more Market Rasen wins last summer. Yet to fire this term, but now on a very tempting mark and offered more back at aforementioned track 11 days ago.

Form: 04-7763

Book Of Invasions^t²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: S Mulqueen| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 95| D

28/1

Yet to match the pick of his hurdles form in this sphere, no threat at Kelso in March. Flat form of late very uninspiring, too.

Form: 6P3P65-

First Revolution^h,t¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-9| J: Danny McMenamin| T: M Todhunter| OR: 85

6/1

Yet to get his head in front but knocking on the door, keeping on in second when fell last in 2m handicap chase at Hexham last month. Big player if over lesser effort at Cartmel since.

Form: 742-3F7

Silken Moonlight¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-7| J: Sam Coltherd| T: W Coltherd| OR: 83

4/1

Opened account for the season in 13-runner handicap at Cartmel 11 days ago. Up 5 lb and isn't an obvious follow-up type.

Form: 12-0431

Infinite Sun^p³⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 10-6| J: Callum Bewley| T: S Waugh| OR: 82

12/1

In with a chance when falling/unseating in back-to-back appearances at Market Rasen and a brace of runner-up efforts of late conform he's competitive. Can make the odd mistake but shortlisted.

Form: 56-FU22

War At Sea^t¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-1| J: Jonathon Bewley⁽³⁾| T: G Bewley| OR: 77

4/1

Fair maiden on the Flat. Mixed record over obstacles but best effort when neck second to Silken Moonlight at Cartmel.

Form: 5/PF8-42

Forecasts

Follow Your Fire (7/2), Silken Moonlight (4/1), War At Sea (4/1), First Revolution (6/1), Little Stevie (8/1), Vino's Choice (9/1), Infinite Sun (12/1), Flamboyant Joyaux (14/1), Book Of Invasions (28/1), Cool Valley (33/1)

FOLLOW YOUR FIRE has been in excellent order over hurdles this summer and he looks the answer from his lower chase mark. First Revolution finished behind a couple of these at Cartmel 11 days ago but is better judged on earlier form and is feared most.
