Selected odds by:

Golden Town¹⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 12-2| J: Charlotte Jones| T: James Moffatt| OR: 112| CD

6/1

C&D winner who confirmed his return to form when fifth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Perth (16.2f, good, 14/1) 14 days ago. One to note dropping in grade.

Form: 325735

Frightened Rabbit²⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Alan Doyle⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs Dianne Sayer| OR: 108| CD

5/1

Gained reward for a series of sound efforts in defeat off similar marks when scoring over C&D in early June. Seemed amiss back on the level at Carlisle but respected now returning to hurdling.

Form: 226-231

Universal Folly⁵⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Theo Gillard| T: N G Richards| OR: 105

11/2

Ran creditably on the back of a wind operation/8 weeks off when fourth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Perth (20.2f, good) 58 days ago. Eased 2 lb and could have a say.

Form: 3226-P4

First Quest^p,t³³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: Hugh Nugent| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 105

15/2

Mixed record since joining this yard but firmly back on track after 11 weeks off when second in 7-runner handicap hurdle at Newton Abbot (16.8f) last month. Excellent claims with a repeat.

Form: 4872-62

Fort De L'Ocean^p,t¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Ross Turner⁽³⁾| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 100| CD

11/2

Form: 68-9182

Miraculous Getaway^t1⁷⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Tom Midgley⁽⁶⁾| T: S England| OR: 98

14/1

Lightly-raced maiden who ran his best race when fourth in a small-field novice at Uttoxeter (15.8f) in June. Opening mark fair judged on that, but he needs to prove it was no flash in the pan.

Form: 44/574

Ellaat²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: William Marshall⁽³⁾| T: N C Kelly| OR: 97

18/5

Successful on the Flat in 1½m handicap at Fairyhouse in June, but was easy to back and shaped as if needing the run back over hurdles at Downpatrick 20 days ago. This ought to reveal more.

Form: 09/058-0

Hungry Tiger⁴¹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: Jonathon Bewley| T: G Bewley| OR: 94| D

7/1

Opened account in good style in 13-runner handicap chase at Tipperary (16.6f) 41 days ago, staying on well. Back hurdling for new handler now, and needs to improve on previous efforts in this sphere.

Form: 6696-01

Leannes Lady²²

Age: 9| Weight: 10-0| J: Bruce Lynn| T: A Berry| OR: 67

125/1

Little sign of ability (including on Flat).

Form: 335/0-69

Forecasts

Ellaat (18/5), Frightened Rabbit (5/1), Ascot Day (5/1), Universal Folly (11/2), Fort De L'Ocean (11/2), Golden Town (6/1), Hungry Tiger (7/1), First Quest (15/2), Miraculous Getaway (14/1), Leannes Lady (125/1)

FIRST QUEST was no match for a thriving winner at Newton Abbot last month, but he still got back on track and looks ready to strike again. Of the opposition, Golden Town is one to note dropping in grade, while it’s probably worth forgiving Frightened Rabbit a poor run on the level last time.
