Morning Mayhem 9 days

J: Kielan Woods

T: Nick Scholfield

Form: 313-41 C

OR: 112

W: 12st 0lb

Age: 5 yo Gelding

Form

Made it four wins since joining this yard with a wide-margin success in a higher grade over 2m1f here nine days ago, achieved in little more than a canter; well treated under his 7lb penalty and he's versatile regarding ground; leading contender.

Donnie Azoff 38 days

J: Isabelle Ryder

T: Jamie Snowden

Form: 8315-2

OR: 118

W: 11st 13lb

Age: 10 yo Gelding

Form

Five-time hurdle winner (2m-2m5f) on varying ground; made an encouraging return when staying on for second at Hereford (2m3f, good) last month; the drop back in trip isn't ideal but he should still have a part to play.

Dream Diamond 39 days

J: Jonathan Burke

T: James Owen

Form: 1073-U

OR: 116

W: 11st 11lb

Age: 6 yo Gelding

Form

Comfortably won a Worcester maiden (2m, good) on last summer's stable debut but has been well below that level on all three completed starts since; well held when unseating last month and has something to prove, but the first-time hood could help spark a revival.

Siam Park 15 days

J: Mr Rian Corcoran

T: Joe Tizzard

Form: 42F-U2 D

OR: 112

W: 11st 7lb

Age: 7 yo Gelding

Form

4-9 over fences but yet to win in 11 starts over hurdles, although he went close under Rian Corcoran when runner-up at Worcester (2m, good) two weeks ago; up 2lb for that effort but still 3lb lower than his chase mark and another bold bid can be expected.

Almuhit 2 days

J: Harry Cobden

T: Faye Bramley

Form: 772-41 D

OR: 109

W: 11st 11lb

Age: 7 yo Gelding

Form

Three-time hurdle winner, latest when readily accounting for two others at Fontwell (2m1f, good) on Wednesday when ridden by Harry Cobden; faces a quick turnaround over this slightly longer trip, but merits serious respect under his penalty.

Betting Forecast

6/4 Morning Mayhem, 7/1 Donnie Azoff, 10/1 Dream Diamond, 7/2 Siam Park, 5/2 Almuhit

Verdict

A tight little contest. Almuhit only won on Wednesday but didn’t have too hard a race and is respected under a penalty. However, if the forecast rain arrives, MORNING MAYHEM will not be inconvenienced by any easing in the ground and could follow up his recent course win, still well treated under a penalty. Donnie Azoff and Siam Park are also not dismissed lightly. [Tim Mitchell]
