Comment: Triple bumper winner last summer (good/good to firm); unseated rider in early stages of first two hurdle races but, following a break, made all to win by over 6l at Ffos Las (2m, good to soft) last month; obvious contender under penalty here.

Comment: Half-brother to very useful Irish hurdler Filey Bay; not beaten far when third of six in maiden point at Garthorpe (good) last month but others in this line-up have more compelling form.

Catch Me Quick

9/1

Comment: Made the frame in two Irish points last year and drew 4l clear to win 14-runner Cothelstone maiden (good ground) on British debut two months ago; pedigree offers hope this shorter trip will suit; a possible.

Tufton

Jockey: Mr F Philipson-Stow Trainer: Philip Rowley Age/Wt: 5/11-12

12/1

Comment: Just a respectable third in Maisemore Park point bumper (good ground) on debut in March and looked well beaten when falling in a maiden point last month; not easily recommended on that evidence but his respected stable won two of the last four editions of this race.

Cue Jump

Jockey: Mr Joshua Newman Trainer: J. Newman Age/Wt: 5/11-5

12/1

Comment: Out of a sister to top-class chaser Cue Card; placed in two maiden points this spring (2m4f/3m) but probably needs this different test to enable some improvement.

Comment: Flat-bred 5yo who won soft-ground maiden point at Kingston Blount by 12l in February and was close second of four behind Amatchmadeinheaven on rules debut at Exeter (good to firm) the following month; better off at the weights with that rival here; no surprise if he features.

Out On Her Own

Jockey: Mr John Dawson Trainer: John Dawson Age/Wt: 5/11-5

18/1

Comment: Placed behind Lets Go Harry on debut at Tranwell (2m4f) in March and comfortably beat three rivals when upped to 3m at Chaddesley Corbett (also good) last month; may not be ideally suited by the shorter trip here.

Comment: Easily beat two rivals in maiden point at Badbury Rings (2m4f, good to firm) in November and was not beaten far behind Amatchmadeinheaven and Couer d'Alene on rules debut at Exeter (good to firm) in March; each-way claims if aided by new tongue-tie.

Magna Patch

Comment: Out of a winning sprinter; collared only in closing stages by Cal OK after running well from the front in good-ground point bumper at Sandon last month; stable has won this race before; could have a say.
