Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Isabel Williams⁽³⁾| T: Evan Williams| OR: 100| CD

8/1

Successful over C&D 12 months ago and runner-up on several occasions since, both in this sphere and over fences. He is proving expensive to follow, though, and needs to bounce back following a lifeless run back hurdling here 15 days ago. Yard also saddles Ionity.

Totowolfe^p1,t⁴⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: David Noonan| T: N J Hawke| OR: 93

10/1

Winning Irish pointer finished no better than mid-division in maiden/novice hurdles and failed to improve for the step up in trip when eighth of 13 on handicap debut at Ascot (23.5f, good) in March. Cheekpieces added.

Form: P1/5688-

Secret Sauce^t¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: Lorcan Murtagh| T: H Dickin| OR: 98

28/1

Fair performer on the Flat in Ireland and best effort over hurdles when runner-up in a Hereford novice in January. However, hasn't managed to build on that since and was nearer last than first on recent handicap debut at Stratford.

Form: U625F7-

Camino Rocio^p1¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Brendan Powell| T: Miss H C Knight| OR: 88

20/1

Milan gelding who offered something to work on when fifth on hurdles debut at Ballinrobe last spring. Well held in pair of starts on these shores for Gary Brown thereafter and was again down the field on handicap debut for new yard at Stratford. Now tried in cheekpieces.

Form: 5608-

Rocky Hill²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: Conor Ring| T: T Lacey| OR: 87| BF

4/1

Sprung a 33/1 surprise on Kelso bumper debut for Ewan Whillans in April 2022. Left qualifying runs well behind when second on handicap bow at Hereford (19.7f, soft) in March and while his jumping went to pot over the same C&D next time, he will be a big player granted a clean round here.

Form: 1600/2F-

Ionity²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams| OR: 85

7/2

Switch to handicap company brought about immediate improvement at Hereford (19.7f, soft) where he chased home Shillanavogy last month. 2 lb nudge fair enough and he's in with an each-way shout.

Form: 7572-

Buck Of Maine¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-10| J: S Bowen| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 82

14/1

From a good French family and reached the frame in both bumpers last year. However, little to shout about over hurdles so far and it's easy enough to look elsewhere.

Form: 34P45P-

Parliament¹³⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-8| J: Alan Johns| T: Tim Vaughan| OR: 80

12/1

Fair winner on the Flat in France in 2022 and while he hasn't troubled the judge in 3 starts over hurdles to date, this 6-y-o is one to monitor in the betting now pitched into a handicap.

Form: 007-

Karakoram^p,t¹⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 10-6| J: Ben Jones| T: G Harris| OR: 78

6/1

Pretty much downhill all the way since he last got his head in front at Taunton in March 2023 and others make more appeal.

Form: 675689-

Triple Nickle^p⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 10-4| J: Sean Houlihan| T: B J Llewellyn| OR: 76| BF

9/2

Just one win from 15 starts over hurdles and she looks vulnerable once more on the back of a below-par recent effort on the Flat.

Form: 63/03P2-

Forecasts

Ionity (7/2), Rocky Hill (4/1), Triple Nickle (9/2), Karakoram (6/1), Walkinthewoods (8/1), Totowolfe (10/1), Parliament (12/1), Buck Of Maine (14/1), Camino Rocio (20/1), Secret Sauce (28/1)

ROCKY HILL's jumping let him down at Hereford last time but he is worth another chance on the strength of his improved handicap debut second at the same course in March. Ionity is next on the list ahead of handicap debutant Parliament.
