Improving type who doubled career tally at Worcester (16.5f) in September. Better form when runner-up at Ludlow (20f) last month and he looks sure to go well again from 2 lb higher.

Landed back-to-back Kelso handicaps in March but arrives here on the back of a couple of below par efforts, including back at aforementioned venue last month. This less demanding at least.

Failed to get close to hurdles form over fences for Enda Bolger and no real short-term encouragement from last month's yard debut at Hexham. Mark has eased a little more at least.

Bumper winner for Alan King, but more miss than hit over hurdles, including for present stable. Switch to chasing needs to perk him up.

Fair on Flat and last month's third over hurdles at Kelso (16.2f) 10 days ago was certainly not devoid of encouragement. Not an obvious chaser but interesting to see where he figures in betting.

Eased plenty in weights and shaped encouragingly when 5.5 lengths third of 6 at Hexham recently, possibly going for home a bit too soon. One to be interested in dropped back to the minimum trip.

Rangy sort who offered some encouragement over hurdles but didn't convince on first try in this sphere when well held sixth at Market Rasen (19f) last month. Visor added to usual tongue tie.

Fortunate winner of a Sedgefield handicap chase (26.3f, good) in April. Disappointed back there later that month and passed over on return from out of the weights.

Forecasts

Gouet Des Bruyeres (5/2), Izzy's Champion (3/1), Fourth Of July (5/1), Jackhammer (6/1), Fightfortheroses (8/1), Tuff McCool (9/1), Arkyn (14/1), Scorpo (80/1)

GOUET DES BRUYERES has returned an improved model, successful at Worcester prior to going down fighting at Ludlow last month. The drop back in trip will hold no fears and he looks sure to be in the mix again. Izzy's Champion, who shaped well from his reduced mark at Hexham recently, is feared, ahead of Fourth of July who should appreciate the drop in class.
