Steady The Ship¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 106

6/1

Has shown fair form in bumpers/over hurdles but well beaten in handicaps thus far and might need more of a push from the assessor.

Form: 3247-05

Fathers Advice²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: William Shanahan⁽⁷⁾| T: R M Smith| OR: 104

12/1

Run with promise last twice, latest when very good fourth of 11 in novice hurdle at Wetherby (16f, good to soft) 25 days ago, left with lot to do. Enters calculations on handicap debut.

Form: 20P74

Cellar Vie^p⁴³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-9| J: Alan Doyle⁽⁷⁾| T: J Ewart| OR: 101

4/1

Career best, in first-time cheekpieces, when winning 5-runner handicap hurdle at Ayr (16f, heavy) 43 days ago. 4 lb rise fair and is one for the shortlist.

Form: 7645-31

Barnay^b²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: Sean Quinlan| T: J Candlish| OR: 99| CD

11/2

Been more miss than hit since landing a division of this contest 12 months ago and has bit to prove despite falling mark. Blinkers back on.

Form: 783247

Lusitanien^h⁵²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Callum Bewley| T: Ewan Whillans| OR: 92

85/40

Respectable fifth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (15.8f, heavy, 8/1) 52 days ago. Since joined Ewan Whillans and market should guide to expectations on yard debut. Hood back on.

Form: 33-6B75

Old Jewry¹⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 10-6| J: K Brogan⁽³⁾| T: D Bourke| OR: 84| CD

11/2

Dual winner in 2021 but out of sorts at present, well beaten sixth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Catterick 17 days ago. Hard to make a strong case for.

Form: 978P06

Jess's Corner^h⁴⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-1| J: Thomas Dowson| T: V Thompson| OR: 79

50/1

Yet to win a race of any description and hard to get excited about efforts since joining current yard.

Form: U-R6787

Pistol⁷⁵

Age: 13| Weight: 10-0| J: Mr John Dixon⁽⁷⁾| T: J E Dixon| OR: 74| CD

Forecasts

Lusitanien (85/40), Cellar Vie (4/1), Monsieur Pom Pom (4/1), Old Jewry (11/2), Barnay (11/2), Steady The Ship (6/1), Fathers Advice (12/1), Pistol (14/1), Jess's Corner (50/1)

CELLAR VIE hasn't been harshly treated for last month's Ayr success and can follow up. Fathers Advice and Monsieur Pom Pom are feared most.
