Selected odds by:

Guernesey¹³⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Jack Martin⁽¹⁰⁾| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 119| BF| D

3/1

Largely consistent sort who arrives on the back of a creditable third of 5 in handicap at Newton Abbot (21.6f) in May. Weighted to go well on his return.

Form: 2224-33

Chasamax⁶⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-13| J: Mr Nathan Brennan⁽⁶⁾| T: N J Henderson| OR: 118WS

6/1

Awarded the race (bumped late on) at Ffos Las in May but he comes here on the back of a modest sixth at Bangor last time. Since had wind surgery so he's not written off.

Form: 14-7136

John Betjeman^b¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: Fergus Gillard| T: Mark Gillard| OR: 115

14/1

Arrives in good nick under both codes, second of 11 on level at Ffos Las (14f) 10 days ago. Back over hurdles and in the picture once more.

Form: 2371-2D

Manor Park^t²³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: Thomas Doggrell⁽³⁾| T: B Barr| OR: 115

50/1

Not proving the easiest to catch right this term, only eighth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (19.9f) 23 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Form: 252428

Une De La Seniere^t¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: Jack Hogan⁽⁶⁾| T: F O'Brien| OR: 115

11/2

It's now eleven runs since last win in 2021 but he posted a good second of 7 in handicap over C&D 16 days ago. Can make her presence felt again.

Form: 226432

Sheldon¹⁷¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: Daniel Sansom| T: J W Mullins| OR: 108WS

5/2

Ran better than for a while when third of 8 in handicap hurdle at Chepstow (19.4f) 171 days ago. Has undergone breathing surgery since and no forlorn hope.

Form: 336573-

Lady Pacifico¹⁶⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Tabitha Worsley| T: D Weston| OR: 105WS

50/1

Made a winning start over hurdles at Leicester last November but she ended the season in poor form. Back after a breathing op now so she can't be discounted.

Form: 18495-

Cluain Aodha⁵⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-9| J: Lily Pinchin| T: N B King| OR: 100

7/1

Point winner who has finished runner-up on both her starts over hurdles in 2m4f maidens at Uttoxeter and Worcester. She can do better still so merits serious consideration now going into handicaps.

Form: 431-422

Hooky Street¹⁷⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-8| J: Ellis Collier⁽⁵⁾| T: H Dickin| OR: 99

11/1

Had wind op before posting respectable fifth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Southwell (20.4f) in April. Shorlisted after her break.

Form: F/344P5-

Forecasts

Sheldon (5/2), Guernesey (3/1), Une De La Seniere (11/2), Chasamax (6/1), Cluain Aodha (7/1), Hooky Street (11/1), John Betjeman (14/1), Manor Park (50/1), Lady Pacifico (50/1)

A case can be made for most of these but CLUAIN AODHA has made a good start to life over hurdles and is taken to open her account now she goes handicapping. Une de La Seniere is on a long losing run but weighted to have a say and feared most, although both John Betjeman and Guernesey warrant plenty of respect too.
