The stable runs IDEFIX DE CIERGUES today. LONGEST TRAVELLER: MAXIMUM EFFORT trained by N Williams, Blewbury, 77 miles.

RACE SUMMARY

IDEFIX DE CIERGUES produced an improved effort when narrowly denied in a Wincanton handicap last month and a reproduction of that form could be good enough to go one better back in maiden company. Mad Mike and Dasher are considered the main dangers.

RACE SUMMARY

THOR DE CERISY arrives on the up for Neil Mulhollland and is fancied to bounce back in style from a last-fence fall at Uttoxeter when in command Midnight Ginger has come late to fences but got off the mark here last time and rates the chief danger with scope for further improvement in this sphere.

RACE STATS

LEADING COURSE TRAINER (19-24): P Nicholls (60 wins from 237 runners, 25%) runs QUEL DESTIN TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): D Skelton (7 wins from 45 runners, 16%) runs MOUNT TEMPEST LONGEST TRAVELLER: SAINT SEGAL trained by J Williams, South Molton, 95 miles.

RACE SUMMARY

A case can be made for all of the quintet but Dan Skelton’s thriving MOUNTTEMPEST is fancied to quickly resume winning ways having had too much use made of him when an excellent third at Sandown last time. C&D scorer Saint Segal figures on a handy-looking mark though and rates a big danger, with Quel Destin and Prince Quali also firmly in the picture.

RACE SUMMARY

This can go the way of FELTON BELLEVUE, who has hit the crossbar on 3 of his last 4 starts and this looks a good opportunity for Ben Case’s 9-y-o to snap a losing streak stretching back over 2 years. Twilight Glory caused a shock when bouncing back to form here last month so he can give the selection most to think about, ahead of Williamdeconqueror and Gibberwell

RACE SUMMARY

MIDNIGHT VENTURE is out of a bumper winner and her stable has a decent record in this sphere, so she could get off to a successful start in a race that doesn’t appear all that strong on paper. Andy Amo also makes appeal on pedigree and Jumble Jury should be considered having won a point.
