A highly promising second over C&D last time out, GWASH looks the one to beat if building upon that effort and a 3lb rise is offset by Jack Hogan's 3lb claim in the saddle. Going back up to this distance should suit Pike Road after a creditable runner-up over shorter at Hexham in May, while Keel Strand may have disappointed over C&D last time out, but prior to that had won his previous three.
TIGER ORCHID was in the process of running a good race when falling with 2 fences to go last time, and although he got headed for the lead, he was always keeping on once passed. He goes back over hurdles for the first time since June 2023, and he is 5 lb lower over hurdles than he is over fences. The two-time winning hurdler can produce another good run here and make amends for the tumble last time and win this. His stablemate Galata Bridge is a four-time winner over hurdles and has been creeping down the weights recently; now back down to his last winning mark, he can go well in this but might have to settle for a place. And Pike Road was a winner at Hexham back in May; he is lightly raced and can use that to his advantage here. However, he might have to settle with filling the places here.
Outpaced and modest on hurdle debut, well beaten in a 2m maiden hurdle at Worcester last time. Tongue-tie fitted for the first time. Back from a short break and may need further than 2m over hurdles.
Unplaced in all three starts. Well beaten at 18-1 behind Gordon Grey when eighth of 9 on his hurdling debut at Worcester over 2m (good) in June. He is wearing a tongue-tie for the first time.

THREE PIKES looked to be well on top until proving untidy at the last, which cost him victory at Newton Abbot last month, and the booking of Harry Cobden on this occasion could prove significant as the five-year-old goes up in trip. A capable sort on the level with a mark of 85, Percy Shelley is an intriguing recruit to these ranks for leading connections and must enter calculations, along with Thoughtsarethings.
A pretty decent operator on the flat, rated 85 at his peak PERCY SHELLEY was a three-time winner on the level, and he looks set to make his hurdle debut here for a trainer who does very well with this type. He only had his last run 17 days ago; therefore, fitness is no issue, and they would have worked on jumping over obstacles with him at home a fair bit in between; therefore, he can make it a winning hurdling debut here in this. Three Pikes has the hurdling experience to boot; the bumper winner has run twice over obstacles, coming 2nd on both starts. He has run with plenty of credit in those runs; however, he might just bump into one here and have to settle for another 2nd place finish. And Thoughtsarethings has wasted no time in getting over hurdles, he is very lightly raced and therefore is the sort to improve with each passing run. He can go well here and fill the places for connections.
Fell in a beginners' chase over 2m1f at Roscommon last time; on a competitive mark and may stay 3m in time.

Now that HAREL DU MARAIS has regained the winning thread after a taking performance at Market Rasen last month, the son of Al Namix should have plenty more improvement to come off 3lb higher. He gets the vote ahead of Cartmel runner-up Beny Nahar Road, and Obsessedwithyou, who has scored on two of her last three starts. El Borracho and Gwennie May Jem are capable of being in the shake-up as well.
Not a bad little chase contest here, with most of these coming into this off the back of decent runs; that includes HAREL DU MARAIS, who comes into this off the back of a 2-length victory at Market Rasen last time out. He was settled in last place before making nice headway with a few left to jump, taking the lead as they went down the straight and keeping on very nicely in the end. Just the 3 lb raise in the weights for the victory, which is fine, and given how well he has been running lately, he can go in again in this contest. Beny Nahar Road was a victory at Sedgefield in April, and at Southwell in June; he has been on the go consistently since January but still did finish 2nd last time out; therefore, he is still in great form. He is sure to run well in this contest but might have to settle with another 2nd place finish. And Obsessedwithyou has a 50% win rate over fences; she comes into this off the back of a 3rd place finish at Stratford last time out.

Four from five since switching to the larger obstacles in January, there is no doubt that BUMPY EVANS is a chaser on the up. The latest of those victories, which came at Cartmel, was the most impressive of all. The handicapper has had his say in the meantime, hitting the gelding with a whopping 17lb rise, but, given his progressive profile, it might not be enough. Olivers Travels was a comfortable winner over that same C&D latest and is a threat from 6lb higher, while the returning Flegmatik should not be overlooked.
BUMPY EVANS was in absolutely terrific form for Tim Vaughan previously, and since then Will Roseff and Kerry Lee have swooped in to purchase the horse. A winner of 4 out of his 5 chase runs, winning all four of them in a row from March up until July, which was his last victory at Cartmel. He made all that day, jumped well and soon pulled clear before easing down in the finish to win by 28 lengths in the end. Now he does have a huge 19 lb hike in the weights to deal with, but given his terrific form of late and the fact he has changed yards, he is sure to go well once again. The break would have done him the world of good, and he can win on a stable debut for Kerry Lee. Ajp Kingdom has plenty of chasing experience and has been running well without winning recently; he can go well in this after a 1 lb drop in the weights from last time but might have to settle with a place behind an in-form rival. And Do No Wrong was a winner over hurdles last time out but did win over fences at Southwell back in January. He is worth a second look here but might have to settle with filling the places.
Quickened clear cosily when back to form, dropping in grade and allowed an easy lead in first-time cheekpieces to land a handicap by 5l off 112 over 2m3f at Fontwell last time; enjoys making the running; effective over 2-2 1/2m.
He has won three hurdle races and a NH flat race from 2m to 2m 3f on good and good to soft ground. Won on his latest outing in a hurdle race when 11-10fav at Fontwell over 2m 3f (good) earlier this month, beating Sun Joy by 5l. Carries a 7lb penalty today for that success.

Back over jumps at Worcester latest having spent a brief spell on the Flat, OSLO beat all bar the outsider of the field. That effort signalled a clear return to form and if able to back it up, compensation looks a real possibility from 1lb higher. Recent Fontwell scorer Goodwin merits respect under a 7lb penalty, as does Audacious Annie, who returns from a 155-day absence in search of her hat-trick. Jhentong Enki has yet to truly shine in this sphere, but market support would be noteworthy on his first start for the Ben Pauling team.
OSLO has the benefit of the recent run, which was a 2nd place finish over hurdles at Worcester last time out behind a horse who showed sudden improvement. A three-time winner over hurdles, the Fergal O'Brien horse has not won since last April when rated 5 lb higher; therefore, he looks to be well treated on his previous form. A good 2nd-to-last time out looks like a step in the right direction, and with fitness on his side, he can get his head back in front for the first time in 18 months or so. Audacious Annie was in cracking form prior to her 155-day break, winning her last two runs over hurdles, taking her strike rate to 50% over the smaller obstacles. A new handicap mark and a break to overcome might just mean she will have to settle with a 2nd place finish here. And Juan Bermudez won at Stratford last time out; he is now 5 lb higher in the handicap and can run well in this, but he might have to settle for a place finish now coming up against two in-form rivals.
Ran to form when beaten 3l off 99 at Bangor-on-Dee last time; acts on soft and good ground; consistent.
A winner of a hurdle race at 2m 1f on soft ground, but that win was over two years ago. Third of 10 behind Independent Jimmy beaten 2 1/2l at 5-1 on his latest outing in a hurdle race at Bangor-on-Dee over 2m 4f (good) earlier this month.

There was a lot to like about MY VIRTUE's second-placed finish over 2m5f at Cartmel last month and she has a decent chance of breaking her duck over fences with this slightly shorter trip in her favour. Jipekaa Machin has ability over hurdles and is an appealing contender switching to fences for a yard that knows the time of day with chasers. I Am Rocco and Let Me Go Boys are others for the shortlist.
SHANTOU LUCKY Absolutely bolted up on stable debut last time out at Fontwell over hurdles, jumping and travelling superbly well, he soon pulled clear to a 20-length victory and hardly broke a sweat. He escapes the penalty here, but his mark is slightly higher over fences, but he was a winner over fences for previous connections; therefore, this sort of contest should be no issue for him. James Owen is very good with these sorts of types who lose their way; he is great at getting them back to form and winning, with this lad showing that last time out. Rajjamataz has two runs under his belt since the wind operation and has looked like he has needed those runs; therefore, he will be primed up better here in this but might have to settle with a 2nd place finish behind a potentially well-treated rival. And I Am Rocco is yet to win in his career but has come 3rd on his last two runs under rules, and he might have to settle with that sort of place finish once again here.
Outpaced and below form when well beaten in a maiden hurdle over 2m2f at Fontwell last time. Wears a tongue-tie for the first time. Yet to build on a promising debut and probably wants further than 2m over hurdles.
Yet to place in four starts. Well beaten at 22-1 behind Boston Boy when seventh of 10 on his latest outing in a maiden hurdle race at Fontwell over 2m 2f (good) in March. He is wearing a tongue-tie for the first time.

A cosy winner over C&D on his penultimate start, DIESEL LINE returns to this venue with a solid chance of further success. Faster ground was his undoing at Stratford most recently and the seven-year-old looks well worth another chance back here off the same mark. Handicap debutant Spectre One merits close inspection in the betting now he goes with a tongue-tied added, while Portcammon is another potential improver now he tries the same application combined with cheekpieces.
ROCK ON TOMMY comes into this after a well-deserved 122-day break and with a victory under his belt at this venue when last seen. That was a half-a-length victory over hurdles when sent off as the 5/2 favourite. He is now just 2 lbs higher in the weights, and now being freshened up and ready to go for the new season, he could be the one to side with in this at a track that he does very well at (he has won at Uttoxeter 4 times). Restandbethankful has not won since last August when winning off the mark of 105; he is now rated just 88 and therefore looks pretty well handicapped on old form. He can bounce back and run well in this, but he might have to settle with a 2nd place finish in this. Portcammon only has the 9 runs to his name but has crept down a few pounds since his opening handicap mark. He could be anything here in this and could take advantage of his pretty low mark; however, they might have to settle with filling the places here.
