Largy Reach^t¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Theo Gillard⁽³⁾| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 99

12/1

Runner-up in a bumper last October and turned in his first worthwhile effort since his hurdling debut when second in a weak Sedgefield novice a fortnight ago (subsequently found to have bled). Remains one to be cautious about but he's interesting now moving into handicaps.

Form: 324-572

Peterborough^p²¹

Age: 9| Weight: 12-0| J: Isabel Williams⁽³⁾| T: Evan Williams| OR: 99| D

3/1

Opened his account for the season in weak 4-runner handicap chase at Worcester (2m) 3 weeks ago. Much lower mark over the smaller obstacles and follow up could be on the cards.

Form: 14-U331

Finalshot^h³⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 11-10| J: Alex Edwards| T: Mrs M Rowley| OR: 95| C

8/1

Only previous win came at the track back in 2019 but he's not shown much since his first run for this yard in January, getting no further than the fourth at Market Rasen last time. More required.

Form: 5/P5P-4U

Ten Past Midnight^v⁴⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Patrick Cowley| T: M Keighley| OR: 92| BF| CD

6/4

Going through a good spell at the moment, scoring at Southwell in June then filling the placings on both subsequent outings. No reason why he shouldn't remain competitive off this sort of mark.

Form: 3P-8123

Encashment^p²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-5| J: Lily Pinchin| T: B Pauling| OR: 76

10/3

Wasted no time getting back on track when runner-up over C&D in July, collared close home. Not disgraced when third at Stratford since but she's had plenty of chances off this sort of mark now. Cheekpieces back on.

Form: 3-33823

Never A Word^b,t¹⁰²

Age: 8| Weight: 10-2| J: K Brogan| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR: 71WS

25/1

Flat winner who failed to complete in 2 tries over fences in November 2020 (fell last when going well at Ludlow first occasion). Offered little in a change of headgear after 12 months off at Ffos Las back in May and he arrives on the back of another wind op with plenty to prove.

Form: 34FU/0-P

Intriguing Lady^t1¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 10-2| J: Tom Buckley| T: N J Hawke| OR: 78

80/1

Modest maiden for Charlie & Mark Johnston. Hasn't achieved much in 4 outings over hurdles for new yard and a tongue tie is applied for this handicap debut.

Form: 4233

Non-Runners

Numero Uno⁸

Weight: 10-12| Age: 6

Forecasts

Ten Past Midnight (6/4), Peterborough (3/1), Encashment (10/3), Finalshot (8/1), Largy Reach (12/1), Never A Word (25/1), Numero Uno (25/1), Intriguing Lady (80/1)

PETERBOROUGH opened his account for the season reverted to fences in a weak contest at Worcester 3 weeks ago and back over the smaller obstacles today, is fancied to follow up from his lower mark in this sphere. Largy Reach went close at Sedgefield a fortnight ago so heads up the dangers having his first start in a handicap, ahead of the consistent Ten Past Midnight.
