10/3
4/5
All three wins were in France in 2022 but often thereabouts last summer for David O'Meara and, with new yard this season, runner-up on his last four outings (one of them at this track), another 5lb claimer is enlisted.
Cavern ClubCallum Shepherd - James Owen66-001
7/2
5/6
Never better on Flat than when winning over C&D (soft) in June, coming from the rear with the first two finishing 6l clear, 4lb higher today but that was followed by a hurdling career best, when winning a good prize on good ground six weeks ago, so he's on a roll.
Give It To Me OjRob Hornby - G & J Moore44327-
4/1
21/20
Fourth in the Grade 1 juvenile hurdle at Aintree is flanked by three hurdling wins, best form taking a strong handicap later in April on latest, 0-7 on the Flat (unraced here) but had some handicap form last year to be taken seriously, needs a close look.
Good ShowP J McDonald - A M Balding3180/6
11/2
6/5
Unraced here, tailed off lame in the 2023 Northumberland Plate on final start for Keith Dalgleish (same owners), has plenty of stamina in the pedigree and stuck on from last to a respectable sixth in nine-runner handicap at Goodwood (2m, soft) on return this June, dropped 2lb and should be able to build on that run with improved fitness levels today.
Gallant LionJason Hart - Ian Williams017352
11/2
6/5
Eighth of nine last September on his only run at this track, May win was over 1m4f but he's run with credit over 2m on two of his last three starts, so enters the each-way calculations.
ArrangeD Nolan - M Todhunter-35082
6/1
11/8
First visit here, 2m win at Haydock off a 1lb higher mark last August, has run creditably in three of her five starts this term, including when second at Carlisle 18 days ago, so has an each-way chance.
It's All About YouGeorge Wood - J Candlish2311-0
13/2
11/8
Unraced here, reliable in Flat handicaps in 2024 and did well over hurdles until a heavy defeat in February, off 153 days before 11th of 12 at York (16-1) five weeks ago but went as if he needed the run and was beaten only just over 6l, dropped 2lb and needs a second look.
Little SaverHarry Davies - H Palmer53525
16/1
16/5
Gelded before his second of four in first-time cheekpieces (retained) on handicap debut at Newmarket (1m4f, good to firm) in July and that's his best form, but tailed off when making most at Yarmouth (1m6f, good to soft) ten days later, others look more solid.
Montpellier GreenS D Bowen - Ian Williams5-7986
20/1
17/4
7f win for Joseph O'Brien last autumn and comparable form at 1m, no impact in his four runs for current yard (over 7f twice, then 5f and hooded over 1m4f) and now he tries another new trip.
Green TeamCieren Fallon - Ian Williams911314
22/1
6/1
Three thirds from five races at Chester, long losing run before he scored twice in AW in March and also at Thirsk (1m6f, good to soft) in July, the latter by a short head on five-runner race, not disgraced on latest start, there's a lot more to prove beyond 1m6f, though.
BarenboimPierre-Louis Jamin - Tom Dascombe22-704
40/1
10/1
Unraced here, last won in March 2023, down the weights, significant ability remains and stable among the winners, but other runners are preferred.
Ruler LegendZak Wheatley (3) - D Carroll99/4-6
40/1
12/1
Unraced here, has won once on Flat and over hurdles but pretty disappointing overall and makes limited appeal on most performances, off since May, first run since changing hands and leaving the O'Neills.
Cracker StarAiden Brookes (3) - Ewan Whillans21-907
80/1
30/1
Unraced here, sole win (14 races) came in four-runner 11.6f race at Bath last June for Richard Hughes, no great shakes over hurdles for Harry Derham and yet to recapture his form on Flat after three runs for this yard.
