Paul Ferguson's Jumpers To Follow 'four Years Old' Hurdle Race (a Limited Handicap) (gbb Race)
2m · Going: Good To Soft · 13 runners · £13,008
Verdict — our pick: Glen To Glen
Glen To Glen is the standout on our figures, rated 128 and a full six pounds clear of Edelak and Tenter Le Tout on 122, which is a meaningful margin in a competitive 13-runner Class 2 over two miles on good to soft ground. He has the highest rating in the field and looks to have the most in hand if he runs to his best. Edelak and Tenter Le Tout are the principal dangers, with Lord just a pound further back on 121 and capable of making the frame if the six-pound gap closes. Glen To Glen is the selection.

1. Edelak(0)Form: 11F11P
J: Harry Atkins(5) · T: Dan Skelton · 4yo · 11st 12lb · OR 132 · trainer 14% (14d)
By Almanzor out of Edelmira (Peintre Celebre) · Owner: Carsberg Rafftery Stennett
Four wins in his last six starts, including a winner two starts back and another three starts back, make Edelak a leading threat, and he has run over today's trip and returned just 14 days after his last run. The one concern is that he was pulled up last time out, and he carries 166 lb.
2. Glen To Glen(0)Form: 0-5R13
J: Kielan Woods · T: Nick Scholfield · 4yo · 11st 8lb · OR 128 · trainer 9% (14d)
By Dawn Approach out of Galuminous (Intense Focus) · Owner: Max Out Partnership
Glen To Glen was third last time out, and a winner two starts back, and he has run over today's trip and going before. Fit enough after 30 days off, he tops our ratings at 128 and looks the one to beat, though he refused three runs ago.
3. Mojito des Mottes(0)Form: 42-P13
J: Harry Cobden · T: Ben Pauling · 4yo · 11st 6lb · OR 126 · trainer 17% (14d)
By Clovis Du Berlais out of Magie Des Landes (Maresca Sorrento) · Owner: John P Mcmanus
Third last time out and a winner two starts back, Mojito des Mottes arrives fit after 20 days and has run over today's trip and going, but he was pulled up three starts back and carries 160 lb, with our rating of 120 placing him sixth of 13.
4. Lord(0)Form: 16129-
J: Theo Gillard · T: Donald McCain · 4yo · 11st 4lb · OR 124 · trainer 5% (14d)
By Best Solution out of Linaria (Soldier Hollow) · Owner: David Carol Shaw
Lord has won twice in his last five starts, a second two starts back following a win three starts back, and he has run over today's trip and going before; the risk is a ninth last time out and 145 days off, carrying 158 lb.
5. Tenter Le Tout(0)Form: 11601-
J: Lorcan Williams · T: Chester Williams · 4yo · 11st 3lb · OR 123 · trainer 0% (14d)
By No Risk At All out of Theresienne (Saint Des Saints) · Owner: Ron Watts
Tenter Le Tout has won three of her last five, including last time out, and she has run over today's trip and going before; the one concern is a 182-day absence, with 157 lb to carry, and our rating of 122 ranks her third of thirteen.
6. Made U Blush(0)Form: 3112-5
J: Harry Skelton · T: Dan Skelton · 4yo · 11st 1lb · OR 121 · trainer 14% (14d)
By Masar out of La Arenosa (Exceed And Excel) · Owner: J Fyffe
Two wins in her last five starts, a first three starts back and another four back, add up to solid form, though she was only fifth last time out and returns after 154 days off. She has run over today's trip and going, but 155 lb is a hefty burden, and our rating of 120 ranks her fifth of 13.
7. Treasure Planet(0)Form: 15232-
J: Sam Twiston-Davies · T: Paul Nicholls · 4yo · 10st 10lb · OR 116 · trainer 0% (14d)
By Footstepsinthesand out of Beach Of Falesa (Dylan Thomas) · Owner: Martin Broughton Racing Partners 2
Treasure Planet has finished second, third and second in his last three outings, with a win five starts back, and he has run over today's trip and on this going. A 169-day break and a ranking of ninth of 13 on our rating hold him back, along with 150 lb.
8. Arctic Voyage(0)Form: 1-1213
J: Harry Reed · T: Michael Blake · 4yo · 10st 10lb · OR 116 · trainer 0% (14d)
By Kingman out of Maglietta Fina (Verglas) · Owner: Staverton Owners Group
Arctic Voyage has three wins in his last five starts, though he was only third last time out, and has run over today's trip and going, yet he's hard to fancy: 150 lb is a hefty burden off an official mark of 116, and our figures rank him tenth of 13 after 33 days off.
9. The Bellhop(0)Form: 41345-
J: Freddie Mitchell(3) · T: Gary & Josh Moore · 4yo · 10st 8lb · OR 114 · trainer 8% (14d)
By Belardo out of Royal Free Hotel (Mastercraftsman) · Owner: Jane Davis And Sara Mould
The Bellhop has been going the wrong way, a fifth last time out after a fourth two starts back, and he returns from a 174-day absence carrying 148 lb. He has run over today's trip and won four starts back, but ranking 11th of 13 on our figures makes him hard to fancy.
10. Way of Stars(0)Form: 3210-
J: Jack Tudor · T: David Pipe · 4yo · 10st 7lb · OR 113 · trainer 0% (14d)
By Sea The Moon out of Reproof (Blame) · Owner: Jopla Racing
Way of Stars won two starts back and was second three runs ago, but he was unplaced last time out and returns after 168 days off, so fitness is a question. He has run over today's trip, carries 147 lb off 113, and our rating of 119 ranks him seventh of 13.
11. Flash Man(0)Form: 731-23
J: Kevin Brogan · T: Toby Lawes · 4yo · 10st 6lb · OR 112 · trainer 0% (14d)
By The Grey Gatsby out of Dubai Empress (Dubawi) · Owner: Morningstar Racing
Flash Man arrives fresh from a third last time out, a second before that and a win three starts back, so the recent form reads well enough, and he has run over today's trip. Carrying 146 lb off 112, though, he is hard to fancy, and our rating of 115 ranks him just 12th of 13.
12. Provision(0)Form: 5-3313
J: Isabelle Ryder(5) · T: Barry Brennan · 4yo · 10st 6lb · OR 110 · trainer 100% (14d)
By Wootton Bassett out of Proviso (Dansili) · Owner: David Gibbons
Provision is hard to fancy, ranked 13th of 13 on our figures at 105 against an official mark of 110 and carrying 146 lb, yet he was third last time out, and a winner two starts back, and has run over today's trip.
13. Gallivanted(0)Form: 4133-
J: Paul O'Brien · T: Harry Derham · 4yo · 10st 6lb · OR 110 · trainer 0% (14d)
By Galiway out of Fedya (Mastercraftsman) · Owner: Bathurst Norman Ramsay Tufnell
Third last time out and again two starts back, with a win three starts back, Gallivanted's recent form is solid, and he has run over today's trip and on this going before. Against that, 149 days off and 146 lb are hurdles, while our rating of 117 leaves him eighth of 13.
