Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: Kielan Woods| T: F O'Brien| OR: 130| CD

9/2

Winning start over fences in a match at Kempton in May but let down by some shoddy jumping on his next 2 starts. Plcaed back hurdling the last twice but he's been beaten a fair way.

Form: 5-14332

Copper Coin¹⁵⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 12-0| J: Beau Morgan⁽⁷⁾| T: M Scudamore| OR: 130

7/1

Good second on Uttoxeter reappearance in October. Not in the same form when sixth of 14 at Newbury the following month but given time to get over that and he has a solid record when fresh.

Form: 1383-26

Shang Tang³⁴⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 12-0| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: Miss E C Lavelle| OR: 130| D

28/1

Useful hurdler who made winning start over fences in a 21f Newton Abbot novice in September 2021. After 8 months off, wasn't able to progress when fourth of 8 in handicap chase at Aintree in May last year. Absent again since. Watching brief advised back hurdling.

Form: P510/1-4

Jay Bee Why⁵¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-13| J: G Sheehan| T: A King| OR: 129| D

4/1

Dual hurdle winner who has posted 2 solid placed efforts at Newbury this year in cheekpieces. The headgear is left off this time. Ought to be competitive.

Form: 3-34933

In This World^t⁴²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-13| J: Bridget Andrews| T: D Skelton| OR: 129

11/1

Successful sole start on the Flat in France in June 2021 and looked a good prospect when winning on Warwick hurdle debut in November of that year. Not seen again until finishing a well-held third at Stratford last month but he's entitled to come on for the outing and retains potential for top yard.

Form: 1-3

Gipsy De Choisel⁵¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: D A Jacob| T: N J Henderson| OR: 126

5/1

Hurdles winner on sole start in France and opened his account on these shores in cosy fashion at Warwick (2m) last spring. Made a respectable return from 4 months off when sixth over 2m at Newbury 7 weeks ago. Steps up significantly in trip now.

Form: 5F/8-156

Whatsupwithyou^p,t³²

Age: 9| Weight: 11-7| J: Luca Morgan| T: B Pauling| OR: 123

9/2

Snapped a losing run stretching back to his debut when just holding on in Uttoxeter handicap last April and back to his best when runner-up at Newbury and Ludlow last month. No reason why he won't give another good account.

Form: 2-14522

Fifty Ball²²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-6| J: N F Houlihan⁽³⁾| T: G & J Moore| OR: 122

9/2

Won at Ascot off 5 lb higher last spring and most encouraging run of this season when fifth of 14 there (21.5f) 3 weeks ago. Won't need to step up too much on that effort to have a big say for a stable which continues in very good form.

Forecasts

Jay Bee Why (4/1), Stoner's Choice (9/2), Whatsupwithyou (9/2), Fifty Ball (9/2), Gipsy De Choisel (5/1), Copper Coin (7/1), Moveit Like Minnie (10/1), In This World (11/1), Umndeni (20/1), Shang Tang (28/1)

With the Gary Moore team continuing in fine form FIFTY BALL is given a chance to build on a better run last time. In This World could leave behind the bare form of his recent comeback run and is feared most ahead of Whatsupwithyou, who arrives on the back of a pair of good runner-up efforts.
