11/2

Fairly useful on Flat and reached a similar level over hurdles for new yard last winter. Below expectations back in this code over C&D in April but wasn't seen to best effect and can do better.

Aveta³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Rob Hornby| T: R M Beckett| OR: 79

9/1

Farily useful performer whose 2 standout efforts have come in the mud, so latest effort on less testing ground can be excused. Player if seeing out this longer trip.

Card High^t¹¹

Age: 11| Weight: 8-9| J: Jason Hart| T: W Storey| OR: 56| CD

50/1

Latest win at Carlisle in May. Posted creditable sixth of 14 in handicap at Redcar (10f, good to soft) 11 days ago, but remains vulnerable to younger, less-exposed rivals.

Forecasts

Lord Torranaga (7/2), Sage Advice (11/2), Little Ted (6/1), Eye Knee (7/1), Innse Gall (7/1), Myboymax (8/1), Aveta (9/1), Enthused (12/1), Sociologist (14/1), Kentucky Kingdom (33/1), Card High (50/1), Luna Magic (80/1)

SAGE ADVICE failed to meet expectations back in this sphere over C&D in April but his overall profile suggests he's well worth another chance. Aveta's best efforts have come in the mud, so she's a player if seeing out this 2f longer trip, with recent course-winner Lord Torranaga also shortlisted.
