AGE ST-LB JOCKEY 1 ABAYA DU MATHAN (FR) (5) 3-P2P63 10 12-0
Br B g Al Namix (FR) - Swahilie du Mathan (FR) O Judith Wilson
Philip Armson (3) J David Pipe, Wellington T B Mr Jean-Marie Baradeau W & S Recycling S TIMEFORM VIEW Scored over fences at Ffos Las in April. More miss than hit since but recent Worcester third was a step back in the right direction and he’ll have a big say here if able to build on that. TFR##### BHA104
2 FLYING VERSE (GB) (13)4-23523 CD 10 11-11
Br B g Yeats (IRE) - Flight Sequence O Dr C. A. Barnett
Lilly Pinchin J David Dennis, Banbury T B Jim Cockburn DD Racing Ltd S TIMEFORM VIEW Got back on track following a breathing operation when second at Stratford in July but he failed to back that up when a well-held third of 5 at Bangor since. Claims if bouncing back to the Stratford form. TFR###!! BHA101
3 MINELLA VOUCHER (GB) (13) 54-2224 11 10-13
Br B g King’s Theatre (IRE) - All Rise (GER) O Taunton Town Peacocks
Toby Wynne (3) J Alexandra Dunn, Wellington T B Elms Stud Co. Ltd & J. O’Connor Alexandra Dunn Racing Ltd S TIMEFORM VIEW Started the season with 3 creditable runner-up efforts but his run of good form came to a halt when a remote fourth at Worcester last time. TFR###!! BHA89

9 10-13
Ellis Collier (8) J Christian Williams, Bridgend T B Con McSweeney NAF S TIMEFORM VIEW Off 8 months before eye-catching third at Warwick but he’s disappointingly failed to build on that since, pulling up at Stratford last time. A short break since needs to have had a reviving effect. TFR##!!! BHA89

Conor Ring J Evan Williams, Llancarfan T
B Arthur England TIMEFORM VIEW Off the mark when easily winning mares’ handicap over C&D in July. Third at Stratford next time and player if none the worse for a heavy late fall back there since. TFR####! BHA85

Br B g Tobougg (IRE) - Seemma O Mr Phill Meaden
Angus Cheleda J Jimmy Frost, Buckfastleigh T B Mr Phill Meaden Gorcombe Extreme Sports S TIMEFORM VIEW Hard to get too excited by last season’s efforts, pulling up on his final start in January. Is very well handicapped if sparking back to life after a 7-month break but he’s hard to be confident about. TFR###!! BHA83
7 SHANROE SMOOCH (IRE) (76)5/32-P43 9 10-2
Br B g Ask - Lady Quesada (IRE) O Mr & Mrs K. B. Snook
Lorcan Murtagh J Richenda Ford, Blandford Forum T B S. Howlett Sturminster Newton Building Supplies S TIMEFORM VIEW Successful between the flags, but he’s 0-19 under Rules and was beaten 14 lengths when last of 3 finishers over C&D in June. 11lb out of the handicap. TFR##!!! BHA67

PLAY SMARTER There were better signs from ABAYA DU MATHAN in a deeper race than this at Worcester last week and he might be up to giving the weight away if showing up here in similar form. C&D winner On Time could be the chief threat if none the worse for her late tumble at Stratford last month.
