8/11

Pretty useful form when winning a hunter at Ludlow in March and backed that up when runner-up in another small field at Warwick. Disappointing at Cheltenham and now goes up in trip.

Form: P3/P12-4

Wagner^p²⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 12-8| J: Beau Morgan⁽⁵⁾| T: M Hampton| OR: 122| D

11/2

Winner of hunters at Hereford and Wincanton on first 2 outings for this yard in 2022. Made the odd mistake when disappointing at Cheltenham in April and no easy task on these terms up in trip.

Form: 2P113-9

Glen Forsa^t⁵²

Age: 10| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr James King| T: M Comley| OR: 132| D

85/40

One-time very smart chaser for Mick Channon. Not so good nowadays but did win conventional handicap at Musselburgh in February for Charlie Longsdon. Pulled-up at Newbury last month and since moved yards.

40/1

Likely to have got involved had he completed at Musselburgh in March, ultimately falling 4 out. Looks up against it here.

Forecasts

Stratagem (8/11), Debece (13/8), Glen Forsa (85/40), Wagner (11/2), Wonderoftheworld (40/1)

DEBECE is turned out quickly for one with his profile but in truth he exerted very little when making a winning hunter debut last week and, with stamina assured, he looks the one to beat. An on-song Glen Forsa would be a huge threat, while Stratagem also warrants a mention for all he isn't really crying out for 3m.
