Twilight Girl⁵⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 12-0| J: Jamie Gambin⁽⁷⁾| T: James Owen| OR: 104

14/1

Fair hurdler/chaser in Ireland. Multiple point winner since but he was let down by his jumping on yard debut in 3m hunter chase at Fakenham (3m) in April. Last of 3 finishers between the Flags subsequently and bounce back called for returned to timber.

Enthused^p²³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-13| J: Alex Chadwick⁽⁵⁾| T: James Owen| OR: 103| BF

3/1

Fairly useful Flat winner who was suited by the emphasis on speed over 19.6f when off the mark over hurdles at Huntingdon (19.6f) on penultimate start in May. Similar form when third at Fakenham (20f) earlier this month and one to consider with yard in fine form.

Form: 634-413

Clearance³⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 11-10| J: Mr Zac Baker| T: M Blake| OR: 100| CD

5/1

C&D winner who dispelled some lesser efforts on Flat when fourth over hurdles at Fontwell (19.2f) on penultimate start in May. Strictly below that level when fifth in 8-runner handicap back there 30 days ago but no forlorn hope on balance.

Form: 342P-45

Off The Planet^t³⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-3| J: Oscar Palmer⁽⁷⁾| T: J Tickle| OR: 93

66/1

Record became distinctly patchy for Philip Hobbs, tailed off when falling 3 out at Warwick in spring 2022. Unsuccessful in points subsequently and the market may prove a useful guide on belated Rules return.

Form: P/FR-2R0

Afta Party^h,t²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: Mr George Hiscock⁽⁷⁾| T: S Hosie| OR: 93

10/1

Fairly useful Flat winner for Alice Haynes. Not at that level over hurdles so far, shaping like a non-stayer when fourth in a course novice (21.5f) 3 weeks ago. Tongue tie refitted now dropped back in trip.

Form: 44F-74

Ranco^t⁴¹

3/1

Capitalised on much-reduced mark to make a winning stable debut over C&D last summer and plenty of good efforts in defeat thereafter. Shaped as if needing the run back from 6 months off at Worcester (20f) 6 weeks ago and better showing anticipated on back of wind op.

Form: 33433-7

Pepsiwithacap^b1,t⁴⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Freddie Gordon⁽³⁾| T: D Pipe| OR: 94| DWS

18/1

Just modest form (although managed to win a race) over hurdles in Ireland. Performed respectably on Flat upon joining present yard but easy to back and disappointing when pulled up over hurdles at Plumpton (15.9f) in May. Blinkers reached for now/following wind op.

Form: 19779-P

Professor Calculus^t²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Mr Edward Rees⁽⁷⁾| T: N J Hawke| OR: 88

15/2

Improved in jumping department when off the mark in a first-time visor at Taunton (19f) in February. Well held next 3 starts but stopped the slide with headgear left off when third in a C&D handicap 3 weeks ago. Not out of things with a repeat.

Form: 717F0-3

Urabamba^p,t¹³

Age: 8| Weight: 10-4| J: Mr Joshua Newman| T: K Woollacott| OR: 80

5/1

Just one win from 22 starts but did step up on his return over fences when fourth in a C&D handicap hurdle 2 weeks ago. Needs to step up on that if he's to figure.

Form: 3633-44

Forecasts

Enthused (3/1), Ranco (3/1), Clearance (5/1), Urabamba (5/1), Professor Calculus (15/2), Afta Party (10/1), Twilight Girl (14/1), Pepsiwithacap (18/1), Off The Planet (66/1)

A winner on his penultimate start at Huntingdon in May, ENTHUSED again ran well when third at Fakenham 23 days ago and, with his in-form rider taking off a valuable 5 lb, he looks sure to go well again. Clearance and Professor Calculus may emerge as the chief threats.
