12:35 Jasmine D’Airy

JASMINE D’AIRY finished runner-up on both her starts in points and she was strong in the betting when making a convincing start under Rules when winning a bumper at Tipperary in May. She looked above average on that occasion and has since changed hands for £120,000 to join the burgeoning Harry Derham team. This doesn’t look the deepest race of its type, either, so she’s a very interesting hurdles debutante. Hollygrove Cha Cha has already recorded a facile win over obstacles and is the obvious danger under a penalty.

13:05 Jurancon

A quartet to view positively but the vote goes to JURANCON, who recorded win number three under Rules at Chepstow a month ago, and this sort of trip may unlock even more improvement. He was strong in the betting on that occasion and showed the benefit of his hurdling debut, hanging to his left approaching the final flight but displaying a good attitude on the run-in, and he’s bred to appreciate this longer trip. Rosscahill probably needs soft ground given his action but he’ll get that here and is feared most.

 

13:35 Neo King

NEO KING was a lightly-raced winner in points and made his debut under Rules in a hunter chase at Down Royal for Mrs Caroline McCaldin and he has shown promise in two starts over hurdles for these connections. He has seemingly been brought along with handicaps in mind, though, and he’s potentially well treated starting out from a mark of 108, especially as he’s sure to improve for stepping up to this longer trip. He is an appealing alternative to the hat-trick seeking Grove Road. By process of elimination rather than a vote of confidence, Clondaw Royale is taken to claim minor place money.

14:05 Holeshot

The unexposed HOLESHOT is taken to make a winning handicap debut following encouraging efforts at Uttoxeter and Wincanton. He finished with running left when runner-up to an unexposed four-year-old last time and the handicapper may have given him a chance allotting him an opening mark of 100. Our Dylan is proving consistent and is likely to give another good account, while John Betjeman and Port Or Starboard also enter calculations. Also worthy of consideration is Opera King, who could get back on track now dropping back in trip.

14:35 Mumbles

MUMBLES is fancied to take a sizeable step forward over fences now his stamina is drawn our more so gets the verdict in this very open handicap chase. He has a pronounced knee action and will relish underfoot conditions also. Course-scorer Brulure Noire could emerge as the main danger on his seasonal return, with the handily-weighted duo Imperial Bede and Good Friday Fairy also well in the mix. Chasing-newcomer Chosen Hero completes the shortlist.

15:10 Wot You Wearing

Not a strong race by any means and WOT YOU WEARING is taken to capitalise on the drop back in grade with a good-value 7-lb conditional on board for first time. He has won in heavy ground before and can come out on top, likely at the expense of Mutley Crew, who left previous efforts behind on handicap debut when scoring at Fontwell just under six weeks ago. The Evan Williams-trained pair can fight out third spot.

15:45 Captain Claude

CAPTAIN CLAUDE showed improved form switched to chasing last season, successful on his first two starts before continuing in good heart for the remainder of the campaign, so he is taken to pick up where he left off and resume winning ways. Twilight Glory ran creditably on his return and could be the main danger, ahead of course and distance winner Haut Folin.
