10/3

Fair winner at 22f over hurdles for Gordon Elliott but proved rather disappointing in a couple of attempts over the larger obstacles, latest when sixth of 11 in novice at Kilbeggan 43 days ago, finding less than looked likely. Bit to prove on debut for new yard here.

Form: 2147-26

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: Sean Quinlan| T: J Candlish| OR: 113| D

9/1

No real impact in a handful of starts over fences for Stuart Crawford and was a similar story on debut for new yard last month, finishing remote second of 3 in handicap at Perth . First-time visor needs to bring about improvement.

Form: U0934-2

Glory And Honour^t³⁸

9/4

Fell on sole previous attempt in this sphere for Tom Lacey (back in November 2021) but arrives on back of career-best victory on Flat for David O'Meara and could be interesting returned to chasing for new connections here.

Form: F64/395-

6/5

Point winner who has taken well to fences, bagging handicaps at Fontwell (17.8f) and Cartmel (21.2f) in May. Back on track when third of 5 in handicap chase at Stratford (22.6f, good to soft) latest and must enter calculations.

Forecasts

Post No Bills (6/5), Fringill Dike (6/4), Glory And Honour (9/4), Cardamon Hill (10/3), Three Platoon (8/1), Peaceful Sunday (9/1)

FRINGILL DIKE jumped well when making a winning start over fences at Hexham in May and still looks feasibly treated, despite a 9 lb rise for that victory. He can go in again. Post No Bills looks the likeliest danger.
