Barest Of Margins¹⁹³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-6| J: M Goldstein| T: Miss S West| OR: 97

4/1

Encouraging start to chasing career for Mick Channon in 2022 and, following a 19-month absence, he was placed both completed starts for new connections during the spring. Almost certainly has a race in him off this sort of mark and should make his presence felt.

Form: F22/3P-2

Hokelami^t⁴⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: Charlie Price⁽³⁾| T: R L Llewellyn| OR: 97

15/2

Bagged handicap chases at Market Rasen and Sedgefield last term but ended that campaign on a downer and there were few positives to take from his reappearance display at Ffos Las.

Form: P141P-5

Superstylin²⁴²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: G Sheehan| T: Miss S Smith| OR: 91| BF| CD

13/8

Irish point winner who did the job well when landing this race on chase debut 12 months ago. The pick of his 3 subsequent starts was when finding just one too strong at Market Rasen in March and he will have every chance if fully tuned-up for this seasonal reappearance.

Form: 5/01323-

Stick With Me Sam²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-10| J: Lee Edwards| T: T R Gretton| OR: 87

9/2

Related to plenty of winners and efforts switched to handicap company the last twice have not been completely devoid of promise, including on return at Stratford (18.7f, good to soft). Entitled to come on for that run and he's worth a second look on this chase debut.

Form: 686-74

Angel's Dream¹⁷⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-9| J: N F Houlihan| T: G & J Moore| OR: 86| D

22/1

Has become disappointing over hurdles and failed to complete on chase debut at Fakenham when last seen in June.

Form: 8467-PF

Valirann Gold^p,t²²⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-7| J: Ned Fox⁽⁵⁾| T: H Brown| OR: 84| D

13/2

Strike rate nothing special but did the job well at Fontwell in February and gave it a good shot when third of 9 in a Chepstow handicap (19.4f, good to soft) on latest start during the spring. 1 lb lower back from a break here and possibilities if ready to roll.

Form: 714323-

Millies Mite^p,t¹⁶⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-2| J: Ben Jones| T: K Jewell| OR: 76

16/1

Seemed suited by the switch to prominent tactics when off the mark at the twenty-seventh attempt at Fontwell (19.5f, good to firm) in April. However, she failed to fire over the same C&D last time and looks vulnerable back from a break here.

Form: 64P1-26

Shaw's Cross^p¹³⁰

Age: 12| Weight: 10-2| J: Philip Armson⁽³⁾| T: A Irvine| OR: 72| CD

28/1

Veteran who gained his first chasing success at Plumpton in January 2023. Rather hit-and-miss since, though, and others make more appeal.

Form: 39-3530

Forecasts

Superstylin (13/8), Barest Of Margins (4/1), Dromlac Jury (4/1), Smart Casual (4/1), Stick With Me Sam (9/2), Valirann Gold (13/2), Hokelami (15/2), Pleasure Garden (8/1), Havock (8/1), Tommy Cullen (10/1), Ascension Day (10/1), Millies Mite (16/1), Angel's Dream (22/1), Shaw's Cross (28/1), Onnaroll (50/1)

Provided that he is fit enough to do himself justice following eights months off, SUPERSTYLIN may well repeat his victory in this race 12 months ago. The booking of Gavin Sheehan is a plus for this 7-y-o and he gets the nod ahead of Dromlac Jury and Barest of Margins.
