Selected odds by:

Captain Attridge¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Lee Edwards| T: Henry Oliver| OR: 100| CD

11/4

Fair maiden on the Flat but he readily got off the mark on his handicap hurdling debut here (2m) 17 days ago. Up 5 lb but not taken lightly in his current mood.

Form: 60/365-1

Eagle Of The Glen³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-10| J: M G Nolan| T: C J Gray| OR: 96| D

50/1

Landed Huntingdon novice in October but never figured in 4 handicaps thereafter for Stuart Edmunds. Needs this yard switch to spark major improvement.

Form: 1/108P0-

Crews Pitch^p1,t⁷⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-5| J: Dylan Johnston⁽⁵⁾| T: S Drinkwater| OR: 91| D

33/1

Maiden hurdler who came in last of 5 on his stable debut in handicap hurdle at Plumpton (15.9f, soft) 74 days ago. Tongue strap goes back on now and cheekpieces are reached for too.

Form: 2653/55-

Good Impression¹⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 11-4| J: Ben Jones| T: B J Llewellyn| OR: 90| D

8/1

A dual 2m scorer last term who resumed with a respectable fourth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Ffos Las (15.8f, good to soft) 17 days ago. One to consider.

Form: 13126-4

Symbolic Spirit⁵³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 90| BF

9/2

A fair maiden hurdler for Amy Murphy. Off 7 months when respectable third on Fakenham stable debut in March but disappointing when pulled up at Huntingdon (11/8) since. Still early days for this top yard though.

Form: 6/V843P-

No More Bolero⁶⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: Brendan Powell| T: D G Bridgwater| OR: 87WS

11/1

Fairly useful Flat winner in Germany. Hinted at promise on the first of 3 starts over hurdles in February/March. Has had wind surgery ahead of this switch to a handicap from a mark which could be lenient judged on Flat ability.

Form: 556-

Mambo Beat⁴⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: Sean Houlihan| T: B J Llewellyn| OR: 85

25/1

Fair Flat winner but yet to better modest form over hurdles, beaten just under 14 lengths when third in C&D handicap last month. Others appeal more.

Form: 9443-

Outback Frontiers⁴³

Age: 8| Weight: 10-13| J: Ned Fox⁽⁵⁾| T: J G M O'Shea| OR: 85| D

33/1

Off nearly 2 years before a well-held tenth in handicap hurdle (33/1) at Taunton (16.5f, soft) 43 days ago. A fair 2m winner in 2022 but needs to take a big step forward.

Form: 72128/0-

Colonel Lesley¹²

Age: 8| Weight: 10-8| J: Bradley Harris⁽³⁾| T: A E Jones| OR: 80| D

11/4

Won last 2 starts for Claire Harris in 2022. Only twice raced since but posted a good second for his new handler in 2m handicap at Plumpton 12 days ago. One for the shortlist.

Form: 8P11/4-2

Lindwall^t²⁹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-4| J: Stan Sheppard| T: T Lacey| OR: 76

9/1

Fair winning stayer on Flat for Sir Mark Prescott in 2021. Well held over hurdles since, so plenty to prove after 9 months off starting out for another new stable.

Form: 5557/76-

Non-Runners

Home And Dry¹⁷

Weight: 12-0| Age: 6

T: D Faulkner J: Non Runner

Jaxonne²

Weight: 11-2| Age: 5

T: J & A O'Neill J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.

Forecasts

Jaxonne (2/1), Captain Attridge (11/4), Colonel Lesley (11/4), Symbolic Spirit (9/2), Good Impression (8/1), Lindwall (9/1), No More Bolero (11/1), Home And Dry (16/1), Mambo Beat (25/1), Outback Frontiers (33/1), Crews Pitch (33/1), Eagle Of The Glen (50/1)

CAPTAIN ATTRIDGE got off the mark with a bit to spare here recently and could follow up after a 5 lb rise. No More Bolero is interesting, while Jaxonne would have been the obvious selection but for a tame finish at Southwell on Wednesday.
