Preview:

DREAM OVER made a smooth transition to racing under Rules when taking a Carlisle bumper last month and the dual point-to-point winner is likely to appreciate jumping obstacles up in trip here. However, the hurdling experience of LITTLE ACTRESS could prove key and the Irish raider makes plenty of appeal with Brian Hughes booked. She was only beaten a length when third at Fairyhouse last time and looks primed for a bold bid. Shore Shanty has been slightly disappointing since scoring at Ludlow but a move up in distance could suit, while Graces Order and Miss Tara Moss are others to take seriously.

Forecast:

1.50 SABBATHICAL (FR); 3.33 COSTLY DIAMOND (IRE); 5.00 COURT JURADO (IRE); 10.00 GRIS DE PRON (FR); 11.00 AND BETTER OTHERS.

Preview:

SABBATHICAL relished the testing conditions when an eight-length victor at Carlisle last week and could prove tough to beat here if handling the quicker conditions under a 7lb penalty. Costly Diamond was five lengths clear of Elixer (second) when scoring over course and distance last month and can confirm the form despite a 6lb rise. Frankie Ballou was well held in that contest, but has a fine record over the track and trip and could bounce back.

4.00 GUETAPAN COLLONGES (FR); 5.50 FOLLOW YOUR FIRE (IRE); 6.50 CASH AGAIN (FR); GETAWAY JEWEL (IRE); 8.00 BE THE DIFFERENCE (IRE); 11.00 AND BETTER OTHERS.

Preview:

GUETAPAN COLLONGES thrived for a step up in trip when getting off the mark at Huntingdon last month and that could open the floodgates for further success from Charlie Longsdon's lightly-raced five-year-old, who may be still ahead of the handicapper following a 6lb rise. Follow Your Fire was another to show plenty of improvement when winning over fences at Wetherby last week and he has to be taken seriously reverting to hurdles off the same rating. It is interesting that Kevin Brogan takes over aboard Cash Again, with his 5lb claim negating the 4lb rise he was handed for scoring over course and distance in December.

Forecast:

1.75 OXWICH BAY (IRE); 3.00 PALIXANDRE (FR); SHALLOW RUN (IRE); 10.00 SUMMER LIGHTENING; 11.00 AND BETTER OTHERS.

Preview:

OXWICH BAY was an easy winner here nine days ago for Evan Williams and could be rewarded for the long journey from Glamorgan once more under talented 10lb claimer Niall Moore. The nine-year-old races off an unchanged mark here and won't mind whichever way the ground turns. Palixandre found the selection too hot to handle last time and might struggle to reverse that form, while Shallow Run is also fancied to claim a minor share of the prize fund.

Forecast:

0.57 MONGOL EMPEROR (IRE); 8.00 CRACK DU NINIAN (FR); 11.00 AND BETTER OTHERS.

Preview:

Mongol Emperor scored at Newcastle last week and is fancied to go well again despite the burden of a 7lb penalty. The quick turnaround might be a bigger issue, though, and perhaps CRACK DU NINIAN can give the likely short-priced favourite something to ponder. A little disappointing at Carlisle four weeks ago, the six-year-old was previously an impressive C&D winner in December and might still have some mileage in his mark of 104. Seaborough could take third.

GAME LINE was a comfortable 3m2f winner at Carlisle last time and that form has been franked with the third winning since.

Teasing Georgia has clearly had her problems since winning a Wetherby bumper for Stuart Crawford in December 2019, but she has subsequently been bought for 75,000 pounds by Donald McCain and is worth a market check at least. However, BLUE BIKINI's second at Taunton looks the best form on offer and she rates the one to beat. Booley Beach shouldn't be too far away either.
