Kalaharry²⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 12-2| J: Dylan Johnston⁽⁷⁾| T: Ewan Whillans| OR: 102

22/1

Fair handicap hurdler/chaser (successful at Hexham in May 2021). Looked very rusty over latter set of obstacles on October's return from 8 months off and this will reveal more.

Form: 63763-P

Timetotalk²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Craig Nichol| T: Chris McSharry| OR: 98

20/1

Placed a couple of times in bumpers. Low-key start over hurdles but handicaps much more suitable and he surely has a bigger performance in him.

Form: 6/27437

Passnotalegend¹⁵³

Age: 9| Weight: 11-11| J: William Shanahan⁽⁷⁾| T: S Waugh| OR: 97WS

40/1

Very lightly raced for his age and has rarely finished off a race with much purpose. Did shape quite well fitted with a hood over fences at Cartmel in June. Since had another breathing operation.

Form: 56/5578

Duty Calls³³

Age: 9| Weight: 11-11| J: Lorcan Murtagh⁽³⁾| T: Miss S E Forster| OR: 97

14/1

Dual-point winner who opened his account under Rules at the eleventh attempt in a 17f handicap hurdle at Carlisle in February. Disappointing all 3 starts since, though he may have needed last month's return to action.

Form: 24160-8

Bestiarius¹⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 11-7| J: Tom Midgley⁽⁵⁾| T: G Boanas| OR: 93

7/2

Largely consistent from this sort of mark in first half of this year and right back on his game when finding only an unexposed sort too strong over C&D 3 weeks ago. Has to be considered from 2 lb higher.

Form: 323652

Azof Des Mottes^t1¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: Jonathon Bewley⁽³⁾| T: G Bewley| OR: 92

5/1

Disappointed on return from breathing op when only ninth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Carlisle last month. Slipped up before the race fully took shape here 19 days ago. Tongue tie on and this will reveal more.

Form: 5P2P-9S

Coral Blue⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Ross Chapman| T: D Bourke| OR: 86

6/1

Catterick winner in March and just 1 lb above that successful mark. Step back in the right direction when fourth over C&D on penultimate start and he went off too hard ridden differently at Hexham last week.

Form: 84-9548

Askgarmor²²⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 10-8| J: Harry Reed| T: T Davidson| OR: 80

9/1

Point winner back in 2016 but lightly raced under Rules. Hit the frame on 4 of 5 outings this season so should be thereabouts once more.

Form: P/23034-

Rockmann³⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-8| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: M Walford| OR: 80

11/4

Off 20 months but very encouraging return to action when runner-up at Carlisle last month. Winner successful since and a major player from his modest mark.

Form: 3969/2

Bebside Banter³⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-7| J: Sean Quinlan| T: C Grant| OR: 79

40/1

Looks very limited on early evidence.

Form: 7P-7

Halcyon Dreams^t³¹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-2| J: Emma Smith-Chaston⁽⁵⁾| T: K Scott| OR: 74

10/1

Runner-up in a Ballinrobe handicap last summer but has failed to get competitive in 6 starts for current yard.

Form: 0F6976

Nordic Express^b1¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: C O'Farrell| T: I A Duncan| OR: 53

150/1

Very little sign of ability and a long way out of the weights. Blinkers on.

Form: 809P8-8

Forecasts

Rockmann (11/4), Bestiarius (7/2), Azof Des Mottes (5/1), Coral Blue (6/1), Askgarmor (9/1), Halcyon Dreams (10/1), Duty Calls (14/1), Timetotalk (20/1), Kalaharry (22/1), Bebside Banter (40/1), Passnotalegend (40/1), Nordic Express (150/1)

ROCKMAN has been given 5 weeks to recover from his first start in 22 months when runner-up at Carlisle, and from a very modest mark, he looks ready to strike. Bestiarius and Askgarmor look the chief threats.
