Buy Some Time^h1²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Ben Smith⁽⁷⁾| T: R M Smith| OR: 96| D

14/1

Dual point winner who was runner-up in a hunter chase at Cartmel (21.2f) on Rules debut in May. Well-beaten fourth in novice hurdle at this course (20.2f, good to firm) 25 days ago, but the longer trip should suit as he goes handicapping with hood applied.

Form: PP1-124

Dalileo²⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Peter Kavanagh⁽³⁾| T: Miss L Harrison| OR: 94| CD

4/1

Having dropped to a career-low mark after 7 months off, took advantage when winning over C&D (good to firm) 25 days ago, left clear at the last but doing well to get into contention having been held up. Merits consideration at this venue.

Form: 64244-1

Shantou Moon¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: Sam Coltherd| T: W Young Jnr| OR: 93

12/1

Successful twice in handicaps for Tristan Davidson and left his stable debut run behind when second at Hexham (23.3f) at the start of June. Finished runner-up again at the same C&D (good to soft) 19 days ago, so he can give another good account.

Form: 57-7622

Somebody's Fortune^t,v³⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: D R Fox| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 89

6/1

Placed in points and, upped in trip with a visor applied, showed improved form on her handicap hurdle debut when getting off the mark at Kelso (25.8f, soft) in May. Leading contender with more to offer now that she's up and running.

Form: 2/55F5-1

The Longest Day^p,t²⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-5| J: Miss Roisin Leech⁽⁷⁾| T: Mrs S Leech| OR: 87| CD

9/1

Finally off the mark at this C&D last August and followed up back here later the same month. Ended the season with a lesser effort at Hexham, but probably needed the run after 7 months off at Newton Abbot 29 days ago. Not written off back here.

Form: 51140-9

Ebendi³²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-13| J: Callum Bewley| T: A Wilson| OR: 81

12/1

Fairly useful Flat performer for Joseph O'Brien. Below that level over hurdles but ran one of better races when fourth of 15 at Ayr (24.3f, good) in March. Not in the same form on his last 2 outings, but he ran well when placed on his only start at this C&D last summer.

Form: 03843-5

Dequall^b²⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 10-9| J: Sean Quinlan| T: W Coltherd| OR: 77

13/2

It's been a while since he last hit the target but he couldn't have gone much closer at Hexham (23.3f) in May, edged out on the line. Wasn't able to repeat that effort at this C&D (good to firm) 25 days ago, but he's not discounted from his reduced mark.

Form: 8968-26

Side Stepper²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-4| J: Jack Tudor| T: Christian Williams| OR: 72

9/4

Hadn't offered much in a bumper and first 4 starts over hurdles, but proved a different proposition upped in trip when third on handicap debut at Newton Abbot (26.5f, good) 20 days ago. One to note with his latest run behind him.

Form: 6699-73

Frankies Fire¹⁹

Age: 11| Weight: 10-2| J: Charlotte Jones⁽³⁾| T: J Walton| OR: 70| D

50/1

Multiple-point winner but remains a maiden under Rules, running from well out of the handicap when sixth of 10 over hurdles at Hexham (16.2f, good to soft) 19 days ago. Step back up in trip not enough to tempt.

Form: 4P73/P-6

Sullivan Bay^p,t²²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Brendan Powell| T: Miss H C Knight| OR: 75

14/1

Successful on the Flat for Gary Brown in January but hasn't shown much tried again over hurdles for his current yard, faring no better on handicap debut (had a wind op) when fifth of 9 at Fontwell (19.1f, good to firm) 22 days ago. Has work to do.

Form: P7-0P5

Forecasts

Side Stepper (9/4), Dalileo (4/1), Somebody's Fortune (6/1), Dequall (13/2), The Longest Day (9/1), Shantou Moon (12/1), Ebendi (12/1), Buy Some Time (14/1), Sullivan Bay (14/1), Frankies Fire (50/1)

With a visor fitted, SOMEBODY'S FORTUNE benefited from the longer trip when making a successful handicap debut at Kelso last time and, with further progress to come as a stayer, she is taken to follow up. Dalileo got back to winning ways at this C&D on his latest outing and is feared most, ahead of Side Stepper.
