Nathan Moscrop (3) Cheek Pieces
HHHII TIMEFORM VIEW 3/1, career best when winning 3m handicap hurdle at Wetherby on heavy 179 days ago. Hit with 9lb rise so needs to hit the ground running on his return.

HHHII TIMEFORM VIEW Without a win since 2019 but he recorded respectable fifth of 11 in over C&D 4 days ago. Possibilities.
7 The Blame Game (IRE)
HHIII TIMEFORM VIEW Fair 2m4f winner but he offered little after 4 months off when seventh of 8 in handicap at Kelso (22.7f) 28 days ago. Blinkers on now with a bit to prove.

Ryan Mania
HHIII TIMEFORM VIEW Barely a modest maiden on Flat but showed some aptitude for hurdling when fourth at Sedgefield (16.8f) 22 days ago and may do better. Verdict ALQAMAR confirmed the promise of his hurdling debut to some tune when scoring by a wide-margin at Ayr 29 days ago and should have little trouble defying a penalty on that evidence. Fever Roque is a well-bred sort who’s made a positive start to his career. TIMEFORM 1-2-3: 1.ALQAMAR 2.FEVER ROQUE (FR) 3.BLUEBERRY WINE (IRE)
GREAT BRITISH BONUS SCHEME The Great British Bonus (GBB) offers multiple bonuses of up to £20,000 per eligible race for British-bred fillies and mares.
James Bowen Hood
HHHII TIMEFORM VIEW Much improved from chasing debut when easily landing 10-runner Market Rasen handicap chase (17.2f, good) in April. Jumping not so good at Huntingdon next time, but certainly not one to give up on.

B g Court Cave (IRE) - Glen Eile (IRE)
Brian Hughes Blinkers
HHHII TIMEFORM VIEW Proved consistent prior to getting off the mark at Fakenham in November and has made the frame on each of his 4 subsequent starts in this sphere. However, may again find one or two too good.

Mr A Kerr Mr L Kerr Leonard Kerr Form: 233-,
Derek Fox
HHIII TIMEFORM VIEW Winner over this C&D off 1lb lower mark last summer, but rather in-and-out since and others look stronger.
HHIII TIMEFORM VIEW Fair Flat winner, stays 12.5f, but well below form last time so looks best watched on this switch to hurdling unless the betting suggests otherwise.

B g Westerner - Hollygrove (IRE)
HHIII TIMEFORM VIEW Regressive on the Flat and offered little on Ludlow hurdling debut in April.

HHHHI TIMEFORM VIEW Scored for the third time over this C&D when making virtually all of the running on Monday. Remains on a very attractive mark and won’t go down without a fight if turned out again quickly.

HHIII TIMEFORM VIEW Three-time winner at Ayr since the turn of the year, but he has gone off the boil of late and was well-held when fifth to Tonto’s Spirit over C&D on Monday
B g Aizavoski (IRE) - Dempseys Luck (IRE)
Adam Wedge Tongue Strap
HIIII TIMEFORM VIEW Three-time hurdles winner for Gordon Elliott in 2018, but he’s 0-13 over fences and offered little in 2 starts for Micky Hammond last year. Best watched on debut for another yard.

Conor O’Farrell
Verdict Lots with chances. APTLY PUT recorded much his best effort from well out of the handicap when fourth here recently so gets the nod now he can race off a 9lb lower mark. C&D scorer Too Much To Ask looks the one to give him most to do, with Roxboro Road another who needs considering back hurdling after a winning spree.

B or Br g Medicean - Lebenstanz
Mrs J. Drake Sam England Form: P5-6,
Lewis Stones (7) Tongue Strap Cheek Pieces
HHIII TIMEFORM VIEW Good record at Sedgefield, back on the scoresheet there in September, but recent efforts have lacked spark and no easy task from 6lb out of the weights. Verdict TRESHNISH’s jumping isn’t always foot perfect, but he didn’t do much wrong in that regard when striking at Hexham recently and a 4lb rise is unlikely to debar another very bold show from this 8-y-o. If he goes to post Tonto’s Spirit will be a big threat following Monday’s all-the-way C&D success and Rooster Cogburn, though a shade disappointing last time, is also considered.

HHHHI TIMEFORM VIEW Solid start for present stable and he resumed winning ways in good style in a Hexham maiden chase (20f) last month, crusing clear off the home turn. Rates a live player again on the back of that.

HHHHH TIMEFORM VIEW Likeable mare who built up an impressive strike rate over hurdles, career best when landing listed mares’ handicap at Cheltenham (20f) in April. Winning pointer and expected to make her mark chasing. Verdict A winning pointer, BANNIXTOWN GLORY built up an impressive record over hurdles, posting a career-best effort when landing a mares’ listed event at Cheltenham in April. She’s fancied to come out on top in receipt of weight all round now her sights are set on larger obstacles. Getareason should give her plenty to think about, however.

Miss C. McCracken Donald McCain Form: 521-,
HHHII TIMEFORM VIEW Veteran who was in fine form over fences in 2019, winning 3 times. Underwhelming thereafter and a well-held fourth in a point recently leaves him with plenty of questions to answer.
HHHHI TIMEFORM VIEW Dual handicap-chase winner in spring of 2019. No impact when last of 2 finishers on hunter debut at Wincanton but he should be able to build on that. Tongue tie removed.

Mr Richard Weeks N. K. Allin Form: P6///P-,
Mr Charlie O’Shea (7) Tongue Strap
HHHII TIMEFORM VIEW One-time fair chaser/hurdler for Nigel Hawke but always behind and pulled up in first start for 3 years at Kempton in April. Verdict REIKERS ISLAND proved that he retains a fair level of ability when fifth in a handicap hurdle in March on his sole outing for Dr Richard Newland. He’s joined another very capable yard and he could be the answer on second hunter start. Looking Well and Minella Dandy are the obvious threats.

Verdict Most of these arrive out of form so it could pay to take a chance on OAKMONT, who drops to selling company for the first time and figures on a good mark for a yard that has been amongst the winners of late. Pepper Street is sure to be popular in her hat-trick bid but she may have to settle for silver here, ahead of Bossiney Bay and Malina Ocarina.

HHHHI TIMEFORM VIEW Likeable mare who typically gave her running when second over C&D on Saturday. Likely she’ll give it another good shot.
HHIII TIMEFORM VIEW Fair on Flat and similar form in juvenile events over hurdles in 2018/19. Little impact all 3 starts this year (found to be lame last time) but has lots to prove.
9 Shannon Hill (GB) (£6000)
Sowray Brothers, Brooke & Platts Danny Brooke Tom Midgley (3) Form: 31//4-, Cheek Pieces
HHIII TIMEFORM VIEW Winner of a 15-runner Hexham maiden back in 2018. Sole hurdle start since when fourth of 11 at Perth last September. Fit from a recent run on the Flat but he does need improvement from this mark.
HHHII TIMEFORM VIEW Sole win came last February (after a year off) but not in same form since, taking a heavy fall early at Fakenham 29 days ago.

HHHII TIMEFORM VIEW Returned to form back from a break when runner-up at Perth in April. Not in the same form when well-held third at Hexham since but he has enjoyed success here before so could bounce back.

HHHII TIMEFORM VIEW Fair maiden at up to 1m on Flat but proved stamina for hurdling when making successful start at Sedgefield last September. Best run since when third in Worcester handicap in cheekpieces last time. Verdict THE STEWARD never threatened at Perth recently but that resulted in his mark being eased 4lb and he might be worth chancing at a venue where he has several good efforts to his name. Consistent Dianne Sayer pair Frightened Rabbit and Calliope head the dangers. TIMEFORM 1-2-3: 1.THE STEWARD (USA) 2.FRIGHTENED RABBIT (USA) 3.CALLIOPE
