Hashtag Val²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 11-12| J: R P McLernon| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 110

22/1

Showed fair form when third in a juvenile hurdle at Fontainebleau (17.6f) last October, but her efforts for new yard this season have been uninspiring. Handicap debut.

Form: 33-60

Shirocco's Delight²²

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: David Noonan| T: Miss A M Newton-Smith| OR: 102

22/1

Modest hurdler in Ireland for Seamus Fahey and beaten a country mile in a C&D novice on debut for new yard last month.

Form: 95-P534

Global Agreement²⁰⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Kevin Jones⁽³⁾| T: M F Harris| OR: 96

7/2

Unreliable sort who ran one of his lesser races when ninth at Stratford on latest start in May. Hard to envisage him making a winning reappearance here.

Form: 320-439

Crem Fresh²¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-8| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: F Brennan| OR: 92

10/3

Still without a win, but found just one too good on Fakenham (2½m) handicap debut when last seen in May and each-way claims if ready to roll here.

Form: 3/58P6-2

Ten Past Midnight^p¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-6| J: James Best| T: M Keighley| OR: 90| D

5/6

Has sprouted wings since returning from a break in October, completing the hat-trick at Southwell (20.4f) recently. Should give another good account up 4 lb.

Forecasts

Ten Past Midnight (5/6), Naturally High (11/10), Crem Fresh (10/3), Global Agreement (7/2), Where's Tom (12/1), One Last Glance (16/1), Shirocco's Delight (22/1), Hashtag Val (22/1)

It's hard to look beyond NATURALLY HIGH, who did the job well when opening his hurdles account over C&D in October and he had little trouble in following up off a 12 lb higher mark at Sandown on Saturday. There should be more to come from this 6-y-o. Ten Past Midnight has improved markedly this season and he is second choice ahead of Crem Fresh.
