Ended a lengthy losing run from a mark 20 lb lower than for his previous win over fences when beating 8 rivals at Ayr 64 days ago. Only 2 lb higher here so should remain competitive back up in trip.

River Of Joy

Age: 8
Weight: 11st 6lbs

Fair bumper winner who was progressive in novice hurdles in 2023, landing a double. Pulled up next time and off 20 months but proved she retains all her ability when third at Ffos Las 5 weeks ago. Interesting chasing newcomer.

Hostile Hotelier (Ire)

Age: 7
Weight: 12st 0lbs

Gained a deserved success over hurdles at Catterick in March and backed it up with a decent sixth at Musselburgh. Continued good run of form when runner-up back chasing at Sedgefield 4 weeks ago and remains unexposed in this sphere.

Backbyjet (Ire)

Age: 7
Weight: 11st 9lbs
Or: 103

A 3-time winner over 20f here last season. Shaped as if better for the run after 4 months off over 2m here last month and has dipped below his last winning mark, so capable of going well if seeing out this longer trip.

Timeform Verdict

Plenty to consider but NOT SURE was unlucky to bump into one at Carlisle last time so tops the shortlist off the same mark. The in-form Hostile Hotelier is an obvious threat, while Court At Slip is potentially well treated if building on his latest run.

Betting Forecast
