Kintail²⁸⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: N de Boinville| T: N J Henderson| OR: 115| C

4/1

Bumper and hurdles winner here, making a successful return/hurdles debut at this meeting last year. Not so good in handicap final start but the type to do well now chasing over this sort of trip.

Form: 2/1145-

Rambo T³⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: S Bowen| T: O Murphy| OR: 134| D

1/2

Developed into a useful hurdler last season, winning 3 times at around this trip. Encouraging start in this sphere after 5 months off at Uttoxeter (2m), mistakes but just failing. Entitled to improve and return to this longer distance will suit.

Form: 61981-2

Skycutter²⁰⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton

9/2

Useful Flat performer and back in good form in handicap hurdles for new yard last term, winning at Carlisle. Lightly raced over this trip and no surprise if he develops into an even better chaser.

Form: 9/24130-

Forecasts

Rambo T (1/2), Kintail (4/1), Skycutter (9/2)

RAMBO T made an encouraging chasing debut at Uttoxeter and with improvement expected back up in trip, he looks the one to beat, for all Kintail and Skycutter should both make their mark over fences for their leading stables.
