Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: Sam Coltherd| T: W Coltherd| OR: 120| D

11/1

Landed a pair of small-field handicaps in the winter for Nicky Richards, albeit very fortunate to do so at Newcastle on latter occasion. Not fired in pair of outings for current yard though, so others preferred.

Form: P1414-P

Grain D'oudairies¹⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: B S Hughes| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 118| D

85/40

Scored at Market Rasen in March and has held his form well in a pair of outings since, chasing home a couple of younger rivals and beating the remainder convincingly when third of 7 in handicap chase at Bangor (17.4f, good) 15 days ago. Player.

Form: 15413-3

Carcaci Castle^p,t²⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-11| J: Ryan Mania| T: A M Thomson| OR: 117| D

7/2

Promising debut in this sphere when runner-up at Carlisle last month but backwards steps both following outings over fences. Took a step back in the right direction back hurdling when fifth at Kelso last month, so not discounted back chasing.

Form: P023P-5

Animore^h⁴¹⁰

Age: 11| Weight: 10-10| J: Edward Austin⁽⁵⁾| T: H Burns| OR: 102| C

66/1

Capitalised on the drop to a career-low mark when scoring in an Ayr handicap hurdle in March 2023 but now absent for over a year (left Iain Jardine in interim) and is probably best watched on comeback.

Form: 24514/6-

Conquer The Breeze^t¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-4| J: Conor Rabbitt⁽⁵⁾| T: M A Barnes| OR: 96

17/2

Good effort when runner-up in a novice hurdle here in May. Came down too far out to suggest the outcome when falling in a Market Rasen handicap on chase debut but has the physique to make an impact over fences, so not discounted second time up.

Form: 365-26F

Going Mobile^b,t⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 10-2| J: Jonathan England| T: S England| OR: 89| CD

15/8

Represents an in-form yard and proved suited by the drop back in trip when beating Dream Jet in a 10-runner handicap chase at this C&D (good to soft) 8 days ago. This is tougher from just out of weights but has to be shortlisted again.

Form: 3454-61

Forecasts

Going Mobile (15/8), Grain D'oudairies (85/40), Carcaci Castle (7/2), Dream Jet (6/1), Conquer The Breeze (17/2), Findthetime (11/1), Animore (66/1)

GRAIN D'OUDAIRIES is still relatively low-mileage over fences and has produced a pair of solid performances since scoring at Market Rasen, so gets the nod ahead of last week's C&D winner Going Mobile. Carcaci Castle showed better signs hurdling last time and is on an interesting mark if able to reproduce that form back over fences.
