Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Sean Houlihan⁽³⁾| T: C Hobson| OR: 100

150/1

Chase winner for Chris Gordon in May 2019 but off since October of that year so well-being has to be taken on trust.

Form: 316344/

Bartholomew J¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: J M Quinlan| T: S Pearce| OR: 98

15/2

Scored at Southwell last season and returned from a low-key spell on the Flat with a brace of creditable efforts over hurdles. Slight step up in trip looks sure to suit.

Form: 0/12P-53

Belle Jour^p²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Nick Scholfield| T: C Gordon| OR: 97

20/1

Didn't shape at all badly when third on Rules debut in a Plumpton maiden hurdle in April, but well held completed starts since.

Form: F3-4F87

Seaborough¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: Aaron Anderson⁽⁵⁾| T: D Shaw| OR: 96

6/1

Arrives on a long losing run and, while he's been holding form well lately, he needs everything to drop right if he's to get his head in front.

Form: 222354

Billy Ray¹⁷⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: Tom Midgley⁽⁷⁾| T: S England| OR: 91| BF

4/1

One-time useful performer on Flat. Has never really clicked over hurdles but third-place finish at Uttoxeter in cheekpieces when last seen in May was a fair effort.

Form: 2794-83

Tribal Commander¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: W T Kennedy| T: Ian Williams| OR: 86

20/1

Fair Flat winner but yet to show anything over hurdles and was also well held back o the level 3 weeks ago.

Form: 66/8

Alberic^b1,t²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: T J O'Brien| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 85

7/2

Going the right way at a low level in the spring and picked up where she left off for her new yard when third of 10 in handicap hurdle at Worcester. Shaped better than the result at Fontwell since.

Form: 646-334

Time Is Time²¹⁵

Age: 12| Weight: 10-9| J: Conor Ring⁽³⁾| T: Miss Sarah Robinson| OR: 83

500/1

Lost his way in Ireland and little encouragement back from a long absence at Taunton in April. Easily opposed.

Form: 46U00/0-

Cheer's Delboy^p²⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 10-7| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: R Dickin| OR: 81

16/1

Took another big step forward when second at Uttoxeter (23f) back in May and shaped as if needing the outing at Hexham last month. Heavy defeat over fences since.

Form: PP-528P

Mr Yeats²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-5| J: Mitchell Bastyan⁽³⁾| T: M F Harris| OR: 80| D

9/4

Back from 3 months off and shed maiden status at Wincanton 26 days ago, responding well. Up just 3 lb and this isn't a deep race.

Form: 53-8531

King Frank¹³²

Age: 8| Weight: 10-1| J: Nick Slatter⁽⁵⁾| T: Sarah Bowen| OR: 75

150/1

Unplaced in a point and little show over hurdles.

Form: 58/09-90

Ace Time³⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: Ben Godfrey⁽⁵⁾| T: J R Jenkins| OR: 65

40/1

Poor maiden on Flat and over hurdles. Readily opposed from 9 lb out of the handicap.

Form: 57-09P8

Forecasts

Mr Yeats (9/4), Alberic (7/2), Billy Ray (4/1), Seaborough (6/1), Bartholomew J (15/2), Cheer's Delboy (16/1), Belle Jour (20/1), Tribal Commander (20/1), Mistertommyshelby (33/1), Ace Time (40/1), King Frank (150/1), King Cnut (150/1), Time Is Time (500/1)

Not a convincing bunch but ALBERIC ran better than the end result would suggest at Fontwell 3 weeks ago and he could be the answer in a change of headgear. Mr Yeats has to be feared given he's fit and in form, with Bartholomew J also of interest.
