Selected odds by:

Sea Prince⁶⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Harry Bannister| T: A M Hales| OR: 113| CD

1/1

C&D winner who readily made it 2-3 over hurdles in 2m1f handicap at Cartmel 65 days ago, going with enthusiasm. 3 lb rise seems unlikely to prevent him from going in again.

Form: 77/1-U1

Miss M^t¹¹⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: T Scudamore| T: D Pipe| OR: 108| D

11/2

Fair 2m winning hurdler who wasn't disgraced when fading fifth of 8 in handicap at Fontwell (19.2f, good to firm) 110 days ago. In the mix back in trip now.

Form: 114F4-5

Kingofthecotswolds⁴⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Charlotte Jones⁽⁵⁾| T: J K Hunter| OR: 105| D

25/1

Sole hurdling win came in early 2019. Modest fourth in handicap at Market Rasen (16.6f, good to firm) 45 days ago on final run for Nigel Twiston-Davies so he's hard to warm to for new yard.

Form: 837-704

Just Call Me Al^t⁸⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: Sean Quinlan| T: G Boanas| OR: 105| DWS

13/2

Pulled up in handicap chase at Worcester (23f) 80 days ago. Back over hurdles after a wind op with something to prove. Tongue strap back on too.

Form: 385-53P

Go Fox^p¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: C O'Farrell| T: P Neville| OR: 105

16/1

Modest Irish maiden over hurdles. Cheekpieces on when only sixth of 7 in Killarney minor event on Flat 12 days ago. Has plenty to find on form.

Form: 700/9P-

High Sheriff^b,h⁸⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: J Kington| T: Kenny Johnson| OR: 102WS

100/1

Blinkered for 1st time, eighth of 11 in 2m novice hurdle (125/1) at Uttoxeter in June. Makes handicap debut with big step forward required.

Form: 704-P8

Colonel Lesley^p¹⁰⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: James Davies| T: B Leavy| OR: 98| D

28/1

Arrives in poor form over fences, well-held fifth in handicap chase at Limerick (19.6f) in May on last run for James Daniel Dullea. Back hurdling for new yard and others are much preferred.

Form: 788P-75

Lord Caprio^t⁷²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-3| J: R P McLernon| T: B Haslam| OR: 90| CD

3/1

C&D winner in 2018 who arrives in decent nick, cheekpieces on when fourth of 9 in handicap here 72 days ago. Shortlisted off 2 lb lower mark.

Form: 2/PP-734

Forecasts

Sea Prince (1/1), Lord Caprio (3/1), Miss M (11/2), Just Call Me Al (13/2), Go Fox (16/1), Kingofthecotswolds (25/1), Colonel Lesley (28/1), High Sheriff (100/1)

Plenty of these arrive with question marks against them, so SEA PRINCE, who created a good impression when scoring at Cartmel, is strongly fancied to make it 3-4 over hurdles and add to his earlier C&D win. Miss M will benefit from this return to a shorter trip and is rated next best ahead of in-form Lord Caprio.
