Crosspark²⁵³

Age: 14| Weight: 12-0| J: Tom Broughton⁽⁵⁾| T: N Kent| OR: 126| D

66/1

Been a cracking servant over the years and ended a long losing when landing a veterans' event at Huntingdon on return last season. Just touched off at Market Rasen next time before excuses at Newbury final start. However, rising 15 now and vulnerable to improvers.

Form: P33/126-

Choosethenews²⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: M Walford| OR: 126| D

9/2

Point/hurdles winner who has made a bright start over fences, showing a likeable attitude when opening his account at Newcastle (20f, heavy) in April. Excellent second at Wetherby on return and should have more to offer still up in trip.

Form: 3/231-22

Illico De Cotte³⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 124| C| D

9/2

Irish point/maiden hurdle winner who showed much-improved form when making a winning chase bow here (26f) on return 5 weeks ago, forging clear. Can go on to better things as a chaser.

Form: P2133-1

Come On Teddy²⁵⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 11-12| J: H Cobden| T: Harry Derham| OR: 124| D

9/2

Not matched useful form of a 2021/22 season back from lengthy absence last term but went close back over fences at Exeter final start despite the trip being barely adequate. Starts the new campaign potentially well handicapped for new yard.

Form: P/68623-

Wasdell Dundalk²⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 11-11| J: Peter Kavanagh⁽³⁾| T: Miss L Harrison| OR: 123| CD

25/1

Done well since joining this yard, bagging a fifth success since last summer when landing 5-runner handicap chase over C&D in October. Denied another frame finish by a luckless exit here since and remains of interest.

Form: 36141F

Jacks Parrot^p²¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: Henry Brooke| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 120| D

11/2

Has improved since joining this yard, winning at Uttoxeter and Perth in April. Usual tongue tie left off on return but he's open to further improvement over fences.

Form: 624411-

Fortunate Man^t³⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 116| D

5/1

€210,000 buy after winning an Irish point in April and successful on 2 of his 3 completed starts over hurdles last season. Given a considerate chasing debut here on return and expected to leave that well behind in due course.

Form: 1/U131-7

Busty Boy¹⁹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: Craig Nichol| T: D Bourke| OR: 115| BF| D

33/1

Successful on 3 of his 4 starts in Irish points so no surprise he left hurdles form behind when making a winning chase debut at Kelso on return last season. Upped his game further when going close at Perth last 2 starts so warrants respect on return.

Form: 12422-2

Shighness^p²⁵⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: B S Hughes| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 115| D

33/1

Consistent performer over hurdles and got off the mark at the fourth time of asking in this sphere in 4-runner Catterick handicap (25.2f, soft) in February. Ended campaign with good second at Wetherby so not taken lightly on return.

Form: 4P2142-

Ned Tanner²²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-2| J: Sean Quinlan| T: N W Alexander| OR: 114

12/1

Dual winner at Kelso as a novice. Progress stalled last season but he shaped well at Kelso on return and is now 3 lb below last winning mark.

Form: U3F32-4

Champ Royal^p,t¹⁹⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-1| J: Nathan Moscrop| T: S Corbett| OR: 113| D

40/1

Much improved since joining Susan Corbett, scoring 4 times (at up to 25.3f) over hurdles last season. However, hasn't taken to chasing in 2 starts, including when last seen in May.

Form: 11122-4

O'Connell³⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 10-12| J: G Sheehan| T: J Parkinson & S Smith| OR: 110| D

7/1

Winning Irish pointer who got off the mark in handicap chase at Market Rasen a year ago. Made the frame next 4 starts before shaping as if needing comeback run here. Strong traveller who doesn't always find much off the bridle.

Form: 14224-8

Forecasts

Illico De Cotte (9/2), Come On Teddy (9/2), Choosethenews (9/2), Fortunate Man (5/1), Jacks Parrot (11/2), O'Connell (7/1), Ned Tanner (12/1), Wasdell Dundalk (25/1), Shighness (33/1), Busty Boy (33/1), Champ Royal (40/1), Crosspark (66/1)

COME ON TEDDY starts the new campaign potentially well handicapped for his new yard so could be the answer. Illico de Cotte looked a natural when making a winning start over fences here on return and is the obvious threat, while the progressive Choosethenews should relish the step up in trip.
