Brown Bear^p²⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 12-2| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽⁷⁾| T: N J Gifford| OR: 102| CD

10/1

Lots of course form including C&D win but has lost his way badly since Ascot win in 2017 and chasing attempt last time offered little.

Form: 3PP3P7-

It's For Alan^h⁵⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: James Davies| T: Miss J S Davis| OR: 98

8/1

Point-to-point win a year ago but apart from some promise at Newbury in November, his hurdling career has yet to take off including last twice in handicaps.

Form: 1/36900-

Snippetydoodah^h,t³¹

Age: 11| Weight: 11-12| J: Adrian Heskin| T: M Roberts| OR: 98| CD

10/1

Mixed form since Plumpton win a year ago and would surely need plenty of rain before becoming of interest here.

Form: 71/4P3P-

Illtellmema⁷²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: Joshua Moore| T: G & J Moore| OR: 94

5/2

First run since leaving Suzy Smith. Has shown little under rules but was well backed when unseating rider at Kempton two starts ago and new yard having a good run.

Form: F/P84U0-

Test Ride^p1⁷⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Harry Reed⁽³⁾| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 93

20/1

Has shown nothing at big prices in novice hurdles. First time cheek pieces on for handicap bow and stepped up in trip so worth monitoring in market.

Form: 0/68079-

Big Picture^p²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Tom Cannon| T: J Farrelly| OR: 90

6/1

Failed to get beyond the first on Chasing debut last month but capable Front-runner on his day over hurdles though not the easiest to predict.

Form: 06619F-

Sixties Idol^b,t¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: M Goldstein| T: Miss S West| OR: 89| CD

12/1

C&D win last summer but generally struggled since and pulled up last time of first run since wind surgery. Bit to prove at present.

Form: 05705P-

My Lady Grey^p1²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: D A Jacob| T: C L Tizzard| OR: 89

9/2

Bit better on latest and relatively few miles on the clock so could be capable of improvement for top yard.

Form: 48P787-

Sergio^t,v⁷⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Alan Johns| T: Tim Vaughan| OR: 88

15/2

Pair of third place finishes last two runs off this mark read quite well in the context of this race and similar effort should see him in the mix.

Form: P/FBP33-

Flashdanza²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: L P Aspell| T: R Rowe| OR: 92

12/1

Showed glimmer of ability in similar contest over C&D last month. Dropped another 4lb and could be capable of better in due course.

Form: 34P8-

Forecasts

Illtellmema (5/2), My Lady Grey (9/2), Itsaboutime (5/1), Big Picture (6/1), Ted Bach (7/1), Sergio (15/2), It's For Alan (8/1), Snippetydoodah (10/1), Nocturnal Myth (10/1), Brown Bear (10/1), Flashdanza (12/1), Sixties Idol (12/1), Polar Light (14/1), Test Ride (20/1)

A weak opener and it would be no surprise should NOCTURNAL MYTH leave his previous form behind now handicapping at a trip more in keeping with his breeding. My Lady Grey could be capable of another step forward while Illtellmema is starting off for a yard enjoying a decent spell and is open to improvement.
