Useful on the Flat in his prime but well held when fifth on handicap hurdle debut at Kelso (2m2f, good; first-time tongue-tie) in April and showed no significant improvement in a subsequent C&D maiden; needs to up his game.

Returned from long absence with good-ground wins at Market Rasen and Warwick for new stable last month; should cope if the ground is softer here and might still be on the upgrade; must be considered.

Displayed improvement and travelled well for a long way when third here (2m4f, good to soft) on last month's handicap debut; may benefit from this drop back in trip; one to consider.

Promising fourth on handicap debut at Musselburgh (1m7f, soft) in December but suffered heavy defeats on final two starts last season, the latter over C&D, and needs subsequent wind op to have made a big difference.

Over 8l behind Alibaba when third at Warwick (2m, good; refitted cheekpieces) last month but that was still a pretty good start to his handicap hurdle career and further progress is possible.

Placed in Musselburgh maiden (1m7f, good to soft) in November but has looked out of sorts over hurdles and on the Flat in recent months (had wind op before latest run); needs to turn a corner.

Kept on too strongy for Storm The Dug over C&D (good) in April, getting off the mark over hurdles at the 12th attempt, but was well held (albeit on soft ground) at Hexham last month; others have more potential.

Placed off 5lb higher at Carlisle (2m3f, good to soft) in April but has very mixed record over hurdles and is sometimes a clumsy jumper; safely held on last two outings; others look much safer.

Showed no significant promise in her three qualifying races over hurdles in January-March but makes handicap hurdle debut from a basement mark and returns to this code after winning on the Flat (1m4f; RPR 61) last month; interesting.

Bouboule (SR 75) is the highest-rated horse in a uniformly modest field where the entire SR range spans only 57-75 — a 5-point SR edge over the next best. Carrying 11-1, which is a clear weight advantage over top-weight Struth (11-12, SR 65) who is lugging 11lb extra for a lower SR. The form string 5355P- shows consistency in the placed positions before the pulled-up run, and on Good ground over 2m the 4-year-old has scope to improve. In a field this weak, the SR leader off a mid-range weight is the most defensible call.
Each-way alternative: Breadalbane Lass.
Main danger: Breadalbane Lass — Breadalbane Lass (SR 71, 11-0) posted a win ('1') as the most recent positive form result in 6641-4 and carries a fair weight, making her the most likely to reverse the SR deficit against Bouboule.
