TIMEFORM VIEW Fair performer on the Flat who again ran creditably when fourth in 14-runner Goodwood handicap (9f) early on last month. Never totally convinced on first spell over hurdles last year, though and he’s a long while without a win. Star RatingHHHII Official BHA Rating 99 BEN FFRENCH DAVIS (3)

TIMEFORM VIEW Arrives very much on the up escaping a penalty for his C&D victory and having little trouble in completing 4-timer at Worcester (20f) 18 days ago. Much higher mark to contend with now but he’s a player nevertheless. Star RatingHHHHI Official BHA Rating 101 BRADLEY HARRIS (8)

TIMEFORM VIEW Produced a performance in line with Flat form when bolting up from a 9lb lower mark at Fontwell (17.7f) 2 starts back. Good third at Worcester (2m) since and no surprise to see him go well again. Star RatingHHHHI Official BHA Rating 93 NIALL HOULIHAN

TIMEFORM VIEW Hit the crossbar on first two starts for this yard following eight months off and not far off her best when 9 1/4 lengths fifth of 9 to Appreciate in a C&D handicap 26 days ago. Fact she remains winless after 26 starts is off-putting, however. Star RatingHHHII Official BHA Rating 90 LILLY PINCHIN

TIMEFORM VIEW Fair winner on the level in France and promise on his qualifying run over hurdles at Plumpton (15.9f) in April. Easy to back, ran poorly on handicap debut at Newton Abbot in May but it does remain early days at least. STEWARDS NOTE: Following its run on 11/5/2022 it was reported that the horse ran too freely.

TIMEFORM VIEW 4-y-o who offered a modicum of promise in trio of juvenile hurdles for Graeme McPherson last summer. Respectable efforts on 3 of last 4 starts on Flat and progress is certainly possible now handicapping in this sphere. Star RatingHHHHH Official BHA Rating 91 LIAM HARRISON (3)

TIMEFORM VIEW In process of running well when falling at Fakenham (20f) in May and far from disgraced when fourth at Worcester (20f) since, plugging on. However, losing run stretches back to 2019. Star RatingHHHII Official BHA Rating 81 KEVIN BROGAN

TIMEFORM VIEW Fair Flat winner for Mick Appleby but offered little in trio of maiden hurdles at up to 21.5f for present stable. Much more needed now handicapping on the back of a wind op. Cheekpieces refitted. STEWARDS NOTE: Following its run on 25/5/2022 it was reported that the horse lost a shoe. Star RatingHHHII Official BHA Rating 70 SHANE QUINLAN

RACE SUMMARY:
A tricky opener with a chance taken on EAGLE’S REALM. He offered some promise in juvenile hurdles last year and, arriving fit from the Flat, he could well be up to taking a step forward now handicapping in this sphere for Fergal O’Brien. Appreciate arrives on a roll and is feared in pursuit of the 5-timer despite his inflated mark, whilst Beat The Heat also arrives in good heart and can also figure.
