6/1

Remains a maiden after 16 NH runs but has made the frame in 4 of 5 starts here but failed to justify strong sixth of 11 in handicap hurdle at this C&D (good to soft) 80 days ago. Not discounted nevertheless.

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Tom Midgley| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 85

10/1

Fair on the Flat but has yet to better poor form over hurdles, still to convince he really stays this kind of trip, and hasn't been quite at his best on the level lately, so others are preferred despite potentially lenient mark.

Form: 60/4664-

Solway Molly¹⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-6| J: Joe Williamson| T: Miss L Harrison| OR: 84| D

33/1

Modest bumper winner who possibly needed the run sixth of 8 in handicap hurdle (66/1) at this course (23.9f, good) 10 days ago. Still yet to show much over hurdles, so need to improve significantly down in trip.

Form: 07/33P-6

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Conor Rabbitt⁽³⁾| T: Miss L Harrison| OR: 83

40/1

Disappointing maiden hurdler, showing nothing in 3 starts since leaving Donald McCain. Can't be fancied.

Form: 366/8-06

Gambie Tiep⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Liam Harrison| T: B Pauling| OR: 80| D

1/5

Only poor hurdler/chaser for Sarah-Jayne Davies but made an impressive debut for new connections when winning 9-runner handicap chase at Uttoxeter (16f, heavy) 5 days ago with plenty in hand. Will take all the beating back over hurdles.

Forecasts

Gambie Tiep (1/5), Fathers Advice (6/1), Flylikeaneagle (10/1), Solway Molly (33/1), Willy Nilly (40/1)

GAMBLE TIEP looks a bargain buy for the Ben Pauling yard after a most impressive victory over fences at Uttoxeter on Tuesday and should take plenty of beating quickly switched back to hurdles. Fathers Advice produced a rare below-par effort at this course last time but rates the biggest threat, with Flylikeaneagle the pick of the remainder.
