Hyland¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: N de Boinville| T: N J Henderson| OR: 142| CD

5/2

Bred to be a better chaser and, having developed into a useful hurdler last season, made a winning start over fences in handicap at Southwell (20.4f, good) 19 days ago. His main market rival unseated last time, but he's still a major player with improvement to come.

Form: 13602-1

Will Carver^t³⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 11-5| J: James Bowen| T: N J Henderson| OR: 137| D

9/2

Pulled up over hurdles on his final 2 starts last season, but left those efforts behind sent chasing when making most in handicap at Cartmel (21.2f, good to soft) last month, jumping soundly in the main. Capable of another bold bid.

Form: 13/1P-P1

Dripsey Moon⁷²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-7| J: Theo Gillard| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 125| D

5/1

Dual point winner who looked potentially useful when making a successful hurdling debut at Perth (20.2f) last summer. Didn't go on from that effort subsequently, but he's not written off as he goes chasing on first start since leaving John McConnell.

Form: 256596-

Peking Rose^p,t¹⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 10-6| J: J J Burke| T: F O'Brien| OR: 124| D

6/1

Fairly useful handicap hurdler who has run respectably when making the frame both starts this season, in first-time cheekpieces when fourth of 10 at Worcester (23f, good to soft) 17 days ago. Has something to find as he makes his chase debut.

Form: P/180-44

Riskintheground^t²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-5| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 122

11/5

Fair winning hurdler who has bettered that form dropped back in trip over fences on his last 2 starts, making it back-to-back wins when scoring at Fakenham (21.2f, good) at the beginning of the month. Respected in his hat-trick bid.

Form: B355-11

Forecasts

Riskintheground (11/5), Hyland (5/2), Will Carver (9/2), Dripsey Moon (5/1), Peking Rose (6/1)

Having finished a good second over hurdles in April, HYLAND was a commanding winner at Southwell on his chasing debut 19 days ago and he can build on his latest effort to score again. Stablemate Will Carver also made a successful start over fences at Cartmel last month and is feared most, ahead of Riskintheground.
