Age: 7| Weight: 12-1| J: Luca Morgan⁽³⁾| T: B Pauling| OR: 131| BF| CD

9/2

Ready winner of handicap hurdles at Carlisle and this course last autumn. Didn't come up to expectations on chasing/seasonal debut at Uttoxeter but returns to the smaller obstacles on a good mark.

Form: 14F00-5

Thibault^t²³

Age: 9| Weight: 11-10| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: A West| OR: 126| CD

8/1

Dual-purpose performer who won on the Flat at Chepstow and over hurdles at Plumpton (20.5f) this spring. Underperformed at Cheltenham last time but this is an easier contest.

Form: 517-130

Irish Hill¹⁹⁰

15/8

Fairly useful on the Flat in Germany and did well in this sphere last season, winning Taunton juvenile in December and Chepstow handicap. Not quite at his best at Warwick on final outing but very much the type to do better still this term.

Form: 13231-2

Amelia's Dance^h¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 10-9| J: Bryan Carver| T: R Walford| OR: 111

14/1

Scored 3 times over hurdles last season and was far from discredited Plumpton handicap on return. Should give another good account.

20/1

Fair winner at 18f in bumpers. 13/2, third of 5 in novice hurdle at Warwick (19f, good) 179 day ago. More needed but seems the type to better in handicaps.

Form: 163F4/3

Aggagio⁴⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-6| J: J E Moore| T: G & J Moore| OR: 108| C

2/1

Won his first two outings in handicap hurdles before being let down by his jumping at Fontwell in March. Has scored three times on the Flat (ground too quick last time) since and warrants respect.

Illico Des Places^h,t²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-3| J: Brendan Powell| T: R Walford| OR: 105| D

40/1

Scored on his sole start in France but proved too headstrong all four runs in Britain for Tom Symonds and fared no better on debut for new stable at Plumpton 27 days ago. Others preferred.

Form: 154P-85

Gold Souk^t²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: Caoilin Quinn⁽⁷⁾| T: D Steele| OR: 102| CD

25/1

Landed a double in the spring and, while he's not really been firing on the Flat lately, he should benefit from a return to this sphere. Not ruled out for all he's 'wrong' at the weights.

Forecasts

Irish Hill (15/8), Aggagio (2/1), Quinta Do Mar (9/2), Hystery Bere (7/1), Thibault (8/1), Amelia's Dance (14/1), Masteroftheheights (20/1), Gold Souk (25/1), Illico Des Places (40/1)

IRISH HILL's final outing last season was slightly underwhelming but he'd been on the up prior to that and his top yard has been firing early in the season, so he gets the nod under a promising claimer. Quinta Do Mar is a danger returning to hirdling and Amelia's Dance is no forlorn hope.
