Landed bumper at Catterick last winter and in good form over hurdles this summer, winning Hexham maiden and C&D handicap (from Summergrounds) under Brian Hughes. Has a slightly awkward head carriage but going the right way.

9/1

Fairly useful chaser/hurdler in France who really found his feet for current yard last spring, completing a Carlisle novice hurdle hat-trick at up to 19f. However, winning run came to an end in 2m course handicap in May. Off 4 months.

Fourofakind^v1²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: Sean Quinlan| T: Lizzie Quinlan| OR: 113| CD

28/1

Recent Flat efforts nothing to get excited about but the fact he won this race from an identical mark last year makes him a dangerous one to discount in a change of headgear (first-time visor for cheekpieces).

Form: 1455-46

I Wish You¹⁵³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-10| J: P W Wadge| T: L Russell & M Scudamore| OR: 112

4/1

Made all in 17f Carlisle novice (soft) on reappearance last season. Best effort in handicaps since when fourth of 9 over C&D (soft) in April. Evidently capable fresh and one of 2 likely types for the stable.

33/1

Well Educated^p³²

14/1

Well handicapped on best form and step in the right direction when runner-up at Hexham (2½m) in May. Better than his form figures suggest in 3 subsequent starts and no surprise were he to go well in refitted cheekpieces.

Form: 7-32565

Coventry¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 10-5| J: Peter Kavanagh| T: Miss L Harrison| OR: 93

33/1

Creditable second at Carlisle last autumn but hasn't reproduced that since, including over 3m here 16 days ago.

Forecasts

Moonbow (7/2), I Wish You (4/1), Holeshot (9/2), Summergrounds (11/2), Hay Meadow (15/2), Bel Amigo (9/1), Well Educated (14/1), Harper Valley (16/1), Follow Charlie (20/1), Fourofakind (28/1), Coventry (33/1), Lizzie Luna (33/1)

MOONBOW did what was required to fend off Summergrounds over C&D last month and might be able to defy the handicapper. The Russell/Scudamore pair I Wish You and Hay Meadow are lightly raced enough to think they may have more to offer this season, while Well Educated is well handicapped if perked up by the refitting of cheekpieces.
