Alqamar²⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: Miss Becky Smith| T: James Moffatt| OR: 126| CD

7/1

Completed a four-timer in 2021 (3 of those wins over C&D) and not disgraced both starts back this spring. First disappointing run here 3 weeks ago but cheekpieces off and he's likely to bounce back.

Form: 11U6-70

Peltwell^p³⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Miss Thomosina Eyston⁽¹⁰⁾| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 124

8/1

Won all 7 starts in 2021 and having found the Swinton a bit too much, she retaining the successful thread down in class at Newton Abbot last month. Up 3 lb but she has a likeable profile.

Form: 111U-01

Gladiatorial^t⁴³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: Abbie McCain⁽⁵⁾| T: N C Kelly| OR: 123| CD

20/1

Pulled up both starts in Ireland back from 7 months off so clearly has a lot to prove at present.

Form: 2214-PP

Snookered^v²⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-8| J: Mrs Izzie Hill⁽⁷⁾| T: B Ellison| OR: 120| D

20/1

Not in top form under both codes in recent months and losing run over obstacles dates back to 2019.

Form: 02874-0

Marine One^b⁴²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-8| J: Alice Stevens⁽⁷⁾| T: Dr R D P Newland| OR: 120| D

33/1

Irish import who won his first 3 starts for this yard in 2020 (all over hurdles), including Market Rasen listed handicap. Lightly raced and jumping an issue since, including over fences at Worcester last month. Blinkers on.

Form: 110/04-P

Eskendash^t⁶⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 11-7| J: Emma Smith-Chaston⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss J E Foster| OR: 119

33/1

Twice finished runner-up over fences early last year. Below that level first 3 starts in 2021/22 for Olly Murphy, but back to winning ways in claiming hurdle for new yard in March. Second of 4 over fences since.

Form: 2/5231-2

El Borracho^t³⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: Miss Gina Andrews| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 117| D

7/1

Consistent over hurdles/fences last year, bagging three handicap chases along the way. Stepped up on return when also winning handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter and he didn't do a lot wrong at Aintree latest.

Form: 113-612

Well Planted²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽³⁾| T: R M Smith| OR: 116| BF| D

10/1

Arrives on the up, travelling smoothly when cosy winner of 6-runner handicap at Perth prior to a narrow second over same C&D from 7 lb higher. Likely to give it another good go.

Form: 813-312

Vocal Duke²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Charlotte Jones⁽³⁾| T: James Moffatt| OR: 116| CD

5/1

Did well last season, winning 3 times. Sold from Toby Lawes for £23,000 in May and better than ever when making winning start for this yard over C&D last month, suited by this sharp track. Mid-field in a deeper race here since.

Form: 1523-16

Battle Of Toro^p²²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Isabel Williams⁽³⁾| T: James Moffatt| OR: 114| CD

12/1

Useful on Flat and quickly back on track when easily opening his hurdle account in first-time cheekpieces in a C&D novice last month. Similar form when runner-up under a penalty and retains scope as a handicapper.

Form: 4-812

Iolani^p⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 10-12| J: Page Fuller| T: Mrs Dianne Sayer| OR: 110| D

18/1

Now 2 lb below last winning mark, gained at Kelso in September. Ended last term in slightly disappointing fashion but fit from a trio of sound efforts on the level.

Form: 123350-

Petit Palais^t,v1²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: Lily Pinchin⁽³⁾| T: R Hobson| OR: 110

14/1

Has won twice in France for this trainer but failed to continue the good work back in Britain when last of 6 at Worcester 3 weeks ago. Visor replaces cheekpieces.

Form: 1/P45-56

Beeno^h⁶⁵

Age: 13| Weight: 10-8| J: Miss J I Bedi⁽⁷⁾| T: Mrs Dianne Sayer| OR: 106| CD

6/1

Perth winner in September and positives to draw from latest run at that venue in May. Back over a more suitable trip and his plenty of Cartmel experience.

Form: 31690-5

Frightened Rabbit^p⁶⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 10-6| J: Harriet Tucker⁽⁷⁾| T: Mrs Dianne Sayer| OR: 104| CD

15/2

Backed at long odds following a 2-month break and duly capitalised on a falling mark in re-fitted cheekpieces at Hexham in May. Remains on a handy mark and has a good record here.

Form: 4950P-1

Forecasts

Vocal Duke (5/1), Beeno (6/1), Alqamar (7/1), El Borracho (7/1), Frightened Rabbit (15/2), Peltwell (8/1), Well Planted (10/1), Battle Of Toro (12/1), Petit Palais (14/1), Iolani (18/1), Snookered (20/1), Gladiatorial (20/1), Eskendash (33/1), Marine One (33/1)

Competitive stuff but FRIGHTENED RABBIT reacted well to cheekpieces when successful at Hexham in May and he retains handicap scope back at a venue where he's had plenty of success. Jimmy Moffatt has an enviable record at Cartmel and Battle of Toro and Vocal Duke are just a couple of potential dangers.
