Finished last of 3 finishers at Fontwell in March but returns over timber on a workable mark and can feature here for his top yard on a track that suits well. TFRHHHHI BHA143

B Mr H. Des Ste Gauburge Faucets Limited S TIMEFORM VIEW French import who was last seen finishing third in an Auteuil Grade 1 a year ago, subsequently joining a yard in top form with a track record in improving such horses. Returns to the track without usual headgear but needs respect. TFRHHHII BHA142

B Mr Ciaran O’Toole Monu-Skincare Cheltenham Spa S TIMEFORM VIEW Strong travelling mare who took the Mares’ Novices’ Hurdle at Cheltenham and finished a credible second in the Fairyhouse equivalent in April. Course winner who makes her handicap debut back down in trip off a fair looking mark and sets the standard. TFRHHHHH BHA139

Br B g Spirit One (FR) - Smadouce (FR) (Smadoun (FR)) Theo Gillard (3) J O CP RACING Donald McCain, Cholmondeley T B V. Berouard, L. Berouard & S. Chatelain Proactive Personnel Limited S TIMEFORM VIEW Has been making up for lost time with a second success in three starts since returning from a long lay-off, sprinting clear at Bangor 3 weeks ago (9 runner handicap hurdle, 7/2). Back down in trip on better ground today but likely to give another bold show. TFRHHHII BHA133
5 HOMME PUBLIC (FR) (21) 0/3661-1 D 5 11-3
Br B g Cokoriko (FR) - Uddy (FR) (Voix du Nord (FR)) Toby Wynne (5) J O The Nevers Racing Partnership II Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero, Malpas T B Jacques Cypres Swansway S TIMEFORM VIEW Picked up where he’d left off last season for his up-and-coming yard when quickening clear at Wetherby 3 weeks ago (16f, good). Further progress can’t be ruled out in this more competitive race. TFRHHHHI BHA132
6 PLAYFUL SAINT (FR) (38) 12///1-4 D 7 10-10
Br B g Saint des Saints (FR) - Playact (IRE) (Hernando (FR)) Kielan Woods J O Mr and Mrs J. D. Cotton Dan Skelton, Alcester T B G.A.E.C. Campos John Cotton (Group) Ltd S TIMEFORM VIEW Juvenile hurdle winner in France who defied an absence of 3 years to make a winning yard/handicap debut at Wetherby in March. Should go well if coming on for reappearance when 19 1/4 lengths fourth of 6 to Sonigino in 2m Chepstow handicap in October. TFRHHHII BHA125
7 BASHFUL BOY (IRE) (12) 610204 6 10-7
Br B g Magician (IRE) - Bacheliere (USA) (Include (USA)) Tom Scudamore J O Milldean Racing Syndicate David Pipe, Wellington T B Lynn Lodge Stud & Pier House Stud W & S Recycling S TIMEFORM VIEW Earned first victory for this yard in June but has been out of form since, still someway below his best at Kempton (when fourth of 6, 16f) 12 days ago. Now on last winning mark but this is much more competitive so easy to look past. TFRHHIII BHA122
8 IN THE AIR (FR) (15) 3116-F6 D 4 10-5
Br B g Coastal Path - Sably (FR) (Marchand de Sable (USA)) Jamie Moore J O Mr O. S. Harris Gary Moore, Horsham T B Mr Charles Magnien Tote S TIMEFORM VIEW Scored on his British debut at Newbury in March but only sixth in Anniversary Hurdle at Aintree (17f) following month. Held up in both unsuccessful handicap starts this season (latest when sixth of 9 at Ascot 15 days ago) but a return to more prominent tactics here could see him in the mix. TFRHHHII BHA120
Br B g Diamond Boy (FR) - Roche Brune (FR) (Ragmar (FR)) David Noonan J O The Culverhill Racing Club IV Mrs Jane Williams, South Molton T B S.C.E.A. Ecurie JC Laisis Culverhill Farm Racing S TIMEFORM VIEW Looked a horse to follow this time last year but has underwhelmed subsequently. Seemingly needed the run on seasonal reappearance at Worcester (10/1, 20f) in October, but did give encouragement he could regain the winning thread again this term. Each-way chance in first-time cheekpieces. TFRHHIII BHA119
10 JUST THE MAN (FR) (19) 32554F D BF 6 10-2

Bell John O’Shea, Newnham-on-Severn T B Compagnia Generale SRL K W Bell Group Ltd S TIMEFORM VIEW Back to last winning mark and was in the process of running well as even money favourite when fell 3 out at Leicester last month. Cheekpieces return but likely to find this much too competitive. TFRHIIII BHA117
