Selected odds by:

Didnt Ask^t¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Conor Rabbitt⁽⁵⁾| T: M A Barnes| OR: 97

7/1

Won the first of his 2 starts in points. Lightly raced over hurdles but showed ability when making the frame all 3 completed starts. Respected on chase bow.

Form: 0/F2V-34

Ribeye⁸⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 11-9| J: Thomas Dowson| T: P Atkinson| OR: 92| BF| C

11/1

Value for extra when winning handicap at Hexham (20f) over a year ago. Well held next 3 starts but back on track when second at Catterick. Might have found next run coming too soon so not taken lightly back from a break.

Form: 138P24-

Croagh Patrick^b,t¹⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 11-9| J: Jonathan England| T: S England| OR: 92

10/1

A while since his last win but he's been a consistent performer in the main, finishing runner-up 4 times in 2023/24. However, he's been below form on his last 3 starts now so has a bit to prove.

Form: 2239-53

Titanium Bullet^p1²⁸

18/1

Still a maiden and was most disappointing over C&D 4 weeks ago. Headgear now given a whirl.

Form: 40343-5

Empty Nest³⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: M Walford| OR: 89| BF

9/1

Still a maiden and proving expensive to follow over fences, running poorly in first-time headgear at Hexham 5 weeks ago.

Form: 04333-P

Bring The Action^b,t²⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-5| J: Bryan Carver| T: N J Hawke| OR: 88| D

11/1

Seemingly benefited from another wind op/addition of blinkers when resuming winning ways at Hereford (21f, good) in April. Beaten quickly after a bad mistake 5 out at Uttoxeter 3 weeks ago, however.

Form: 24661-P

The Electrician^b²⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: Aaron Anderson⁽⁵⁾| T: M E Sowersby| OR: 87| CD

13/2

Bounced back to form to rout a ropey field from a much-reduced mark over C&D 4 weeks ago. Uncertain to be in such a giving mood this time.

Form: 43P64-1

Beat The Edge²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: Callum Bewley| T: T D Easterby| OR: 81| BF

14/1

Ungenuine type who again found little when fourth over C&D 4 weeks ago. Expensive to follow and others preferred.

Form: 25343-4

Moves Like Monty^h²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-10| J: Adam Wedge| T: L Morgan| OR: 79

10/1

Irish point winner but hasn't cut much ice under Rules so far, though did at least offer something to work on when sixth of 11 on handicap/chase debut at Sedgefield (17f, good) 28 days ago. Hood back on.

Form: F1PP6-6

Unwanted Attention^p,t³⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-8| J: S Bowen| T: R Potter| OR: 77

10/3

Off the mark over hurdles over 2½m at Uttoxeter last summer. Best effort over fences when third at Uttoxeter last month and remains unexposed over fences.

Form: 1475P-3

Miss Wachit¹⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 10-7| J: B S Hughes| T: Ruth Jefferson| OR: 76WS

12/1

Hurdles winner in 2022 and positive start over fences when runner-up at Southwell in July of that year. However, has mostly disappointed since and she remains opposable.

Form: R/4P45-7

Fast Deal¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 10-6| J: James Best| T: M C Chapman| OR: 75

20/1

Caused a major surprise when getting off the mark from well out of the handicap at Stratford (27.5f) and proved that was no fluke when posting solid second in Southwell handicap (20.4f, good). Just respectable fourth of 6 at Cartmel since.

Form: 5931-24

Forecasts

Unwanted Attention (10/3), Imperial Rule (5/1), The Electrician (13/2), Didnt Ask (7/1), Empty Nest (9/1), Croagh Patrick (10/1), Moves Like Monty (10/1), Ribeye (11/1), Bring The Action (11/1), Miss Wachit (12/1), Beat The Edge (14/1), Titanium Bullet (18/1), Fast Deal (20/1), Mawlood (100/1)

IMPERIAL RULE created an excellent impression when making a winning chase/handicap debut at Perth 3 weeks ago and can defy a 4 lb rise. Ribeye is worth another chance to confirm he's back in form and is next best ahead of chase-debutant Didnt Ask.
