Limelighter^p⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: Caoilin Quinn| T: Miss S West| OR: 109

15/2

Struggling for form when last seen over hurdles (in April) and, while his latest effort on the Flat was a creditable one, he still looks averagely handicapped in this sphere.

Form: 432F/P4-

Sufi^b,t³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: Tristan Durrell⁽³⁾| T: M F Harris| OR: 101

9/2

Fair hurdler who arrives on the back of a couple of creditable efforts, runner-up at Wincanton only 3 days ago. Vulnerable off this mark, however.

Form: 336462

Rainbow Storm²⁰⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-8| J: Alfie Jordan⁽⁵⁾| T: O Sherwood| OR: 92

18/1

Just modest form over hurdles to date and has failed to complete in two handicaps (pulled up at Plumpton 6 months ago). Others preferred.

Form: 4879UP-

Soul Icon^h⁸^{(ex 7)}

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Mr F Procter⁽³⁾| T: Kieran Burke| OR: 79| D

8/13

Has proved a different proposition since switched to handicaps, making all comfortably at Huntingdon and Exeter (8 days ago). Should be able to dominate again, so hat-trick is on the cards.

Form: 9U4-411

Forecasts

Soul Icon (8/13), King's Proctor (4/1), Sufi (9/2), Voodoo Doll (15/2), Limelighter (15/2), Rainbow Storm (18/1)

SOUL ICON is a lightly raced, improving sort who had plenty in hand when making all at Exeter recently, so he's an obvious choice to prevail in a weak event. A return to form would give Voodoo Doll a chance, while King's Proctor is still relatively unexposed in this discipline, so he's not completely ruled out.
