Selected odds by:

I'm Here^h³⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: N F Houlihan⁽⁵⁾| T: M Bradstock| OR: 107| D

18/1

Fair hurdler/chaser in 2020 but arrives with a bit to prove after an inauspicious return over hurdles at Worcester 38 days ago.

Form: P/523P-P

Massini's Dream³⁵⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 11-12| J: Jack Tudor⁽³⁾| T: Christian Williams| OR: 105| D

16/1

Fair hurdler who continued her positive start to chasing when a strong-finishing third in warm handicap at Chepstow 11 months ago. Not seen since, but well worth considering.

Form: 33U12/3-

For Jim^v²⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Sean Quinlan| T: J Candlish| OR: 105| D

7/1

Already a three-time winner (once over fences) this term and still looked right at the top of his game when second in a handicap hurdle at Hexham a month ago. Should give another good account.

Form: 611512

Chase The Wind^t¹⁷³

Age: 12| Weight: 11-12| J: Henry Brooke| T: Miss J E Foster| OR: 105| BF| D

40/1

Capitalised on a reduced mark under a cool ride at Uttoxeter in April and wasn't discredited at Sedgefield next time. Tongue strap back on, but liable to need this first run for 5 months.

Form: 7P6313-

Dee Star^t,v²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽⁵⁾| T: G Hanmer| OR: 100| D

17/2

Maiden hunter chase winner in 2019 who has been holding his form of late but didn't carry much of a win threat when fourth at Uttoxeter 3 weeks ago. In the handicapper's grip.

Form: U-U2324

Viking Ruby^p,t³⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: T Scudamore| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 100| D

14/1

Dual hurdle winner last season. Yet to make an impact in two chase outings, but seemingly amiss at Worcester 38 days ago, so remains with some potential in this discipline.

Form: 231-44P

Coole Lion^p⁴⁰¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: S Bowen| T: Mrs Caroline Bailey| OR: 100| D

9/1

Winner of both completed starts between the flags and progressive as a chaser, making all by a narrow margin twice last summer. Bids for the hat-trick on the back of a 13-month absence.

Form: 1P33/11-

Orchestrated^p¹⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 10-11| J: James Best| T: M Young| OR: 90| D

100/1

Disappointing since 2019 and offered nothing on debut for this stable 16 days ago.

Form: 1/662F-P

Hill Of Hope^t⁴²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-8| J: Alex Edwards⁽³⁾| T: A Ralph| OR: 87

5/1

Offered little in trio of starts over hurdles in Ireland during the spring. Placed in points since though and shaped as if better for run in handicap hurdle at Worcester on debut for this yard.

Form: 30P-220

Master Sunrise^b⁴¹

Age: 12| Weight: 10-6| J: Mr James King⁽³⁾| T: A Ralph| OR: 85| BF| D

10/1

Temperamental sort who went through the race with no fluency when a respectable fourth at Stratford 41 days ago. Looks vulnerable.

Form: 51-1244

Hoot At Midnight^p³⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: C E Longsdon| OR: 81| BF

11/4

Modest chaser who arrives on the back of a trio of placed efforts and looks set to put up another bold showing under a positive ride.

Form: PU-6322

Mr Jim¹⁶

Age: 12| Weight: 10-0| J: Benjamin Poste| T: R Potter| OR: 78

10/1

Infrequent winner who ran with credit on his penultimate start before adding to his jumping woes when unseating at Worcester 16 days ago.

Form: 8/5-5F3U

Coisa Blanco^p⁶⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: Toby Wynne⁽⁷⁾| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 72

18/1

Limited hurdler who didn't offer a great deal returning from an absence over hurdles at Worcester a couple of months ago. Previous go at chasing was uninspiring.

Form: 6/3-5344

O'Grady's Boy⁴⁴

Weight: 11-9| Age: 10

Forecasts

Hoot At Midnight (11/4), Hill Of Hope (5/1), For Jim (7/1), Dee Star (17/2), Coole Lion (9/1), Mr Jim (10/1), Master Sunrise (10/1), Viking Ruby (14/1), Massini's Dream (16/1), Coisa Blanco (18/1), I'm Here (18/1), Steel Wave (25/1), Chase The Wind (40/1), O'Grady's Boy (50/1), Orchestrated (100/1)

MASSINI'S DREAM is unexposed as a chaser and was comfortably the best of those held-up when a staying-on third at Chepstow when last seen 11 months ago. As such, she's worth chancing despite the subsequent absence, with the in-form For Jim regarded as her main danger. Hoot At Midnight is also likely to be on the premises.
