Race Preview
BUCKO’S BOY makes his return from a break at Chepstow a month ago and now gets the addition of the cheekpieces.
He was fifth of eight at Chepstow, which was nothing spectacular, but he may have just needed the gallop.
Bucko’s Boy looks to be a decent mark right now.
FOR THREE has won this particular race before from a mark of 2lb higher.
That was three years ago but he warrants some respect as he looks for another score in it.
There was a runner up finish for him at a course and distance 17 days which puts him in good stead.
For Three stays at the same mark and therefore should be a big player.
DRUMCONNOR LAD is only 2lb up for landing a win over the hurdles here at course and distance.
That was by almost two lengths ahead of For Three.
He meets that same rival 2lb worse off now, so while Drumconnor Lad warrants respect, he is in danger of having the tables turned on him.
Ones to watch: Drumconnor Lad 11/4, Bucko’s Boy 13/2

THOMAS CRANMER could be one to watch for this contest as he did a good job over course and distance recently. That was a fourth place finish in a higher class effort.
So his sights are lowered here. He is looking at a much better mark for this one after being considerably wrong last time out.
Thomas Cranmer is on the shortlist because of all that.
OLD JEWRY was a third place finisher at Ayr a couple of weeks ago, hinting at a bit of a revival in that one as well.
He takes a drop of another 2lb from that place finish.
There was a win delivered by him at Carlisle earlier this year and if he can push on from that latest run then Old Jewry could find himself in this massively wide-open contest.
WELL EDUCATED has to be on the shortlisted as well for this one as there has been a course and distance success for him before.
That was in a seller’s event two weeks ago. That was the first win over the hurdles for him on his sixth attempt.
Well Educated has switched yards since then and ditches the cheekpieces that got him that C&D win.
Ones to watch: Well Educated 9/2, Old Jewry 5/1

Race Type: Class 5
Age: 5-year-olds plus
Declared Runners: 8
Distance: 2m
Race Preview
COOL COUNTRY is expected to be well in this contest as he has really been on the up as of late.
It’s been two wins recorded by Cool Country in his last three runs.
The latter of those was a commanding score at Sedgefield a fortnight ago.
Cool Country looks to be in fine nick at the moment and even though he faces Myburg who beat him on his penultimate run, he may take some stopping.
MYBURG has been in fantastic heart recently as well and he received a big 7lb hike after a score at Sedgefield.
He did some terrific work from a long way back to just the score. It was the first chase score produced by him and Myburg is highly respected in this contest.
BLOORIEDOTCOM warrants some respect in this contest as he has been in decent shape for a while now and could be competitive.
He has dropped 2lb from a recent course and distance run. That was a chasing debut in which he kept on well. Further improvement puts him in this.
Ones to watch: Myburg 4/1 Blooriedotcom 7/1

MULBERRY HILL has been in fine form recently and now switching to handicap she may have even more to offer.
She was last seen taking a runner-up spot at Market Rasen in September.
That followed a victory and she hasn’t been out of the top two in her last five runs.
Mulberry Hill has been rapidly on the up since joining these connections and she looks to be on a pretty lenient mark too.
TRUE ROMANCE has a decent track record from fresh so he gets on the shortlist on this return to the hurdles.
He was last seen on the flat about six months ago.
The last time that he was in this sphere True Romance claimed a strong runner up spot at Sedgefield last summer.
PUFFIN BAY has been running in a competitive fashion for a while now so can probably get herself into this.
She was second in a small field handicap at Plumpton a month ago. So she is match fit and likely to bring a strong challenge.
Ones to watch: True Romance 9/4, Puffin Bay 11/2

GOUET DES BRUYERES is 1lb below his last winning mark and should be a competitive runner in this one.
He ran well at Hereford on his latest effort, which was 44 days ago, to take second place. He came up against a good progressive one on that occasion.
Gouet Des Bruyeres carries a 7lb claimer which should help his cause and there are reasonable claims there.
ZUCKERBERG is likely to be another key player in this fixture as he keeps finding himself in the frame.
He was third at Sedgefield back in March on his latest go over the fences. Zuckerberg has since been kept fresh with spins on the flat.
GETAMAN returns for the first time since last October and he still hasn’t managed to get off the mark yet.
He was sixth at Hereford the last time that he was seen. But this will be his chase debut and a drop in trip which combined looks like the right move for Getaman.
Ones to watch: Zucerkebrg 10/3, Getaman 6/1

Race Type: Class 3
Age: 4-year-olds plus
Declared Runners: 7
Distance: 3m 1f
Race Preview
FLASHING GLANCE claimed a win on his latest effort, getting the better of Sirobbie at Taunton on a 3m trip.
That was 40 days ago and therefore he warrants respect as he’s only been bumped up 2lb.
This is a tougher contest, however, so improvement will be needed from Flashing Glance.
SIROBBIE hasn’t claimed a win since 2020 but did run well against Flashing Glance at Taunton recently.
He was third in a follow up at Haydock in a handicap just last month.
The form from those two races puts him in this one, especially as he’s better off in the weights against his main rival for Tuesday.
GLENO is 1lb below his chasing mark and has some solid claims for this contest. He has proven distance in him.
There were three wins in five chase efforts around this 3m distance for him last season.
Gleno took a tumble on his latest start last month in a chase. He can’t be written out of this with the first time blinkers on.
Ones to watch: Flashing Glance 5/2, Sirobbie 4/1
