Selected odds by:

Dare To Shout^t³⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: Danny McMenamin| T: Mrs A Hamilton| OR: 132| C

11/4

A fairly useful winning hurdler who built on a promising chasing debut when landing a 4-runner contest at Carlisle last month. Open to further improvement so big shout up 4 lb.

Form: 562P-21

Whistle Stop Tour³⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: D R Fox| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 124| BF

15/8

Winning Irish pointer who showed fairly useful form over hurdles last season, winning twice. Looked rusty after 7 months off when third of 5 in handicap chase at Ayr (20.5f, good to soft) on debut over fences 36 days ago and should be sharper for that.

Form: 34413-3

Coqolino^t⁵⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 10-12| J: R P McLernon| T: B Haslam| OR: 120

16/1

It's now 14 runs since his last win in 2021 but he is knocking on the door, second of 11 in handicap chase at Hexham (20.1f, soft) 57 days ago. In the mix again back up in trip.

Form: 4-58P22

Ozzy Cosmo^t²³⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-5| J: Bruce Lynn| T: N W Alexander| OR: 113WS

33/1

Fourth sole start in Irish points and promising start under Rules when landing 12-runner 2m Ayr novice a year ago. Looked beat when falling both starts since, however, so bit to prove now chasing on return.

Form: 441FF-

Dream Boy¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-5| J: Ross Chapman| T: W Coltherd| OR: 111| C

11/2

Irish point/hurdles winner who made a winning chase bow at Wetherby on return last month, impressing with his attitude. Disappointed at Carlisle since but type to bounce back. 2 lb out of handicap.

Form: 444-215

Dunnet Head^t1³⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-5| J: C O'Farrell| T: I Jardine| OR: 109| BF

10/3

Bumper/hurdles winner who went close to making a winning return at Carlisle 5 weeks ago. Should make a chaser but is 4 lb out of the handicap.

Form: 42/184-2

Forecasts

Whistle Stop Tour (15/8), Dare To Shout (11/4), Dunnet Head (10/3), Dream Boy (11/2), Coqolino (16/1), Ozzy Cosmo (33/1)

DARE TO SHOUT has taken well to fences and looks capable of defying a 4 lb rise for his Carlisle win with further improvement on the cards. Whistle Stop Tour is likely to leave his chase debut effort behind so is feared most.
