Selected odds by:

Malfoy Manor⁴⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Toby Wynne⁽³⁾| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 103

2/1

Lightly-raced maiden who failed to build on earlier promise when tenth of 14 in novice hurdle at Huntingdon (15.8f, soft) 40 days ago. Up in trip for his handicap hurdle debut and not written off for good yard.

Form: 28-6450

Follow Charlie^p²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: Ben Smith⁽⁵⁾| T: R M Smith| OR: 99| CD

22/1

C&D winner who had cheekpieces on for the first time when only sixth of 7 in handicap hurdle over C&D 21 days ago. Needs to get back on track.

Form: 46-7386

Powers Dilemma²⁶⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-8| J: Peter Kavanagh⁽³⁾| T: Lizzie Quinlan| OR: 97

40/1

Thrice-raced maiden, not discredited when fourth of 9 in novice hurdle (11/1) at Hexham (20.1f, good to soft) 8 months ago. Needs to hit the ground running on his return/handicap debut.

Form: P62/2-54

Joie More⁴⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: Joshua Thompson⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs J Stephen| OR: 94

11/1

Still a maiden and pulled up in handicap hurdle at Wetherby (19.7f, soft) 47 days ago. Needs to take a big step forward.

Form: 62-585P

Blame Rose^p,t¹¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-5| J: Jack Power⁽³⁾| T: S Corbett| OR: 94| D

25/1

Ended last term with success at Hexham (2m4f) in April. Off 9 months, behind when unseated rider 5 out in handicap hurdle at Catterick (19.3f, good to soft) 11 days ago. Needs to bounce back.

Form: 34151-U

Master Bricklayer^p1⁵⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: Bruce Lynn⁽³⁾| T: N W Alexander| OR: 92

8/1

Ended last term in good form but off 8 months before pulled up in handicap hurdle at Newcastle (20.3f, good to soft) 59 days ago. Cheekpieces are reached for now.

Form: 05924-P

The Jeweller's Pet²²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Charlie Maggs| T: I A Duncan| OR: 87

8/1

Lightly-raced maiden who recorded a solid third of 12 in handicap hurdle here (16f, soft) 22 days ago. Very much one to consider now back up in trip.

Form: 3-65603

Wainwright¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-10| J: Conor Rabbitt⁽³⁾| T: N G Richards| OR: 85

10/3

Fair maiden who recorded his best effort when third of 11 in handicap hurdle at Newcastle (22f, good to soft) 14 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Bold showing is on the cards off an unchanged mark.

Form: 677-73

Noble Affair²⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 10-6| J: William Maggs| T: Mrs J Walton| OR: 81| D

20/1

Off 8 months before a fading sixth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Newcastle (20.3f, good to soft) 26 days ago. Can take a step forward so she's no forlorn hope.

Form: 4P0-0P6

Lewa House^p⁴⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 10-2| J: Dominic Hislop⁽⁵⁾| T: C Bissett| OR: 75| DWS

6/1

Thirteen runs since his last win in 2022 but he posted a respectable sixth of 18 in handicap hurdle over C&D 40 days ago. Not ruled out on the back of a wind op.

Form: 933-666

Forecasts

Malfoy Manor (2/1), Wainwright (10/3), Lewa House (6/1), The Jeweller's Pet (8/1), Master Bricklayer (8/1), Joie More (11/1), Noble Affair (20/1), Follow Charlie (22/1), Blame Rose (25/1), Powers Dilemma (40/1)

WAINWRIGHT rates the pick of these weights and wasn't seen to best effect when third at Newcastle last time out so looks the way to go. The Jeweller's Pet could emerge as the main danger with this return to a longer distance a plus, while Malfoy Manor and Noble Affair also need factoring into this open handicap.
