Record High¹⁹⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: Harry Bannister| T: Miss S Smith| OR: 99| CD

5/1

Fairly useful bumper winner in 2022 and while he didn't show much in handful of runs over hurdles, he has gradually got his act together in this sphere, scoring over C&D in February. However, ran poorly final start and may need this after 6 months off.

Form: 8P321P-

Leading Swoop^p²⁰³

Age: 9| Weight: 11-10| J: Harry Kimber| T: R Walford| OR: 95| BF| CD

11/1

Gained first career success when making all over C&D in March but proved a let down at Plumpton final start. Off 6 months. Cheekpieces back on.

Form: 323213-

Lough Owel^t⁴⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Bryan Carver| T: D Summersby| OR: 89

17/2

Maiden hurdler who came in an encouraging second of 5 in handicap chase at Worcester (23f, good to soft) on debut over fences in June and repeated that form 3 months later when runner-up over C&D last month. Can give another good account.

Form: 0057-22

Ballintara^b¹⁵¹

Age: 13| Weight: 11-0| J: M Goldstein| T: Mrs D Grissell| OR: 85| CD

28/1

Veteran who recorded a second C&D win in battling fashion when last seen in May. Likely to need this on first run since.

Form: R4P1-31

Grand Sabre¹⁴¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-10| J: James Davies| T: N J Gifford| OR: 81

16/1

Maiden hurdler who left his inauspicious chase debut behind when taking a 5-runner handicap at Warwick (3m, good), jumping far with greater proficiency than he did at Huntingdon. However, failed to back that up at Newton Abbot since.

Form: 0PPP-14

He Is A Cracker^t²⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 10-8| J: Isabelle Ryder⁽⁷⁾| T: F Brennan| OR: 79| CD

7/2

C&D winner for Gary Brown in 2023. Lightly raced since but fared much better on second start for this yard when second over C&D 3 weeks ago, clear of rest. Entitled to come on again.

Form: 1/65P-72

Of Corse I Can^p⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 10-2| J: Bradley Harris⁽³⁾| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 73| CD

6/5

Winless following a dozen attempts over hurdles but left chase bow behind when scoring over C&D and Newton Abbot next 2 starts. Should make a bold bid for hat-trick off same mark.

Form: 5P5611

Forecasts

Of Corse I Can (6/5), He Is A Cracker (7/2), Record High (5/1), Noble Cave (8/1), Lough Owel (17/2), Leading Swoop (11/1), Grand Sabre (16/1), Ballintara (28/1)

OF CORSE I CAN has turned a corner in terms of both form and attitude, scoring over C&D before following up off this mark at Newton Abbot, and should make a bold bid for the hat-trick. He Is A Cracker shaped as if retaining all of his ability reverted to fences when second to the selection over C&D 3 weeks ago and rates the main threat ahead of Lough Owel, who has taken well to fences.
