Selected odds by:

Cullin Hills¹⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-11| J: Mr Paddy Barlow⁽³⁾| T: W Milburn| OR: 94

5/2

Multiple point winner who landed 3m hunter chase at Hexham (good) 18 days ago. Still lightly raced so she's not taken lightly.

Form: 121/331-

All Loved Up⁵⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 11-8| J: Mr Hugh Lillingston⁽⁷⁾| T: O Nicholls| OR: 77

15/2

Lightly-raced maiden came in fourth of 6 in hunter chase at Fairyhouse (24.3f, heavy) 17 months ago for Liam Lennon. Landed a point in March so needs considering for her new handler.

Form: 227321-

Daisy Yeats⁴⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 11-8| J: Mr James King| T: Mrs S Prouse

33/1

Winning pointer but she would have finished a remote second on his Rules debut when fell last in hunter chase over C&D 12 months ago. Runner-up back pointing in March so she's no forlorn hope.

Form: 4/F6252-

Emberscombe⁴⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-8| J: Mr James Shaw⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss D Kenealy| OR: 67

50/1

Poor chaser who was pulled up in handicap chase at Stratford (22.6f) 7 months ago for Joe Tickle. Third in a point in March 2but much more is required here.

Form: 12PPP3-

Grenadine Save^p²⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 11-8| J: Miss Amber Jackson-Fennell⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss A Jackson-fennell| OR: 60

66/1

Only poor and blinkered for the first time when a remote second of 4 in hunter chase over C&D 12 months ago. Runner-up in a couple of points recently but this demands more.

Form: P47/222-

Honest Opinion¹⁹

Age: 11| Weight: 11-8| J: Mr Rian Corcoran⁽⁷⁾| T: Mrs Emma Summersby

66/1

Winning pointer but she came in last of 9 in 3m hunter chase at Exeter on her Rules bow over 2 years ago. Second in a point 19 days ago so no forlorn hope though.

Form: 4/21P42-

Latenightfumble⁸¹⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 11-8| J: Miss Gina Andrews| T: Mrs G Andrews| OR: 110| C

13/8

Won a 25f hunter chase here in April 2022 but pulled up in Stratford hunter following month. Bounced back with a couple of point victories and firmly in the picture if fully tuned up after a long absence.

Form: 111P11/

Walkin Out¹¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-8| J: Miss Anna Johnston⁽⁷⁾| T: L Jefford| OR: 109

5/2

Multiple point winner (including latest) who has run well in a pair of 2m4f hunter chases at Ludlow this spring. Player back up in trip.

Forecasts

Latenightfumble (13/8), Cullin Hills (5/2), Walkin Out (5/2), All Loved Up (15/2), Daisy Yeats (33/1), Emberscombe (50/1), Honest Opinion (66/1), Grenadine Save (66/1)

WALKIN OUT has run well twice at Ludlow this spring and can gain a deserved victory under Rules at the chief expense of recent Hexham scorer Cullin Hills. Latenightfumble also has the form to play a major part if fully tuned up after over two years off the track.
