Hidden Glen^p²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Cillin Leonard⁽⁷⁾| T: Dr R D P Newland| OR: 100| BF| C

5/1

Beaten favourite on both starts since joining this yard including when fourth over this C&D on good ground last time out. Races off the same mark here and is one to note with a useful 7lb conditional taking over in the saddle.

Form: 6PPP-24

50/1

14 race maiden has had wind surgery since finishing 23L fifth in a 2m3f handicap chase at Catterick (good-to-soft) in January. Probably best watched on this occasion.

Form: 047585-

Six Gun Serenade³⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 11-11| J: J E Moore| T: J & S Best| OR: 99

33/1

Had just two starts since winning a maiden hurdle at Plumpton (2m, good-to-soft) in April 2018. Beaten 115L when tenth over this C&D just over a month ago on the most recent of those and market support would be notable.

Form: 1051/P-0

Condarcia¹⁶⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: Danny McMenamin⁽³⁾| T: N G Richards| OR: 95

16/1

Well beaten 44L seventh in a 2m1f handicap hurdle at Carlisle (soft) in February. Yard going well at present (3/12) and market support would be notable on seasonal debut.

Form: 06/7297-

Molliana^p¹⁶⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: R T Dunne| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 95| D

14/1

Prolific Flat winner at Les Landes in 2019 and placed on the AW twice this year. Fair 17L sixth on return to hurdles at Wincanton (soft) in February and is worth a check in the market stepping up in trip.

Form: 54132/6-

Cast In Grey²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Kielan Woods| T: D Killahena & G McPherson| OR: 94

9/1

Seven race maiden was beaten 39L in a handicap hurdle over an extended 2m5f at Newton Abbot (good) last month. Handicap debut that day and likely capable of better.

Form: 23803-7

Skylanna Breeze^p1¹⁴⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 92

4/1

Six race maiden recorded his best effort sort far when third in a novices' handicap hurdle over 3m at Wetherby (soft) in March. Blinkers worn for the first time that day are replaced with cheekpieces (first time) dropping in trip.

Form: 078863-

Connective^p,t¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: P J Brennan| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 88

9/1

Shaped as if this drop in trip would suit when 29L seventh over an extended 2m7f at Uttoxeter (good) on seasonal debut last month. Interesting to see how he performs.

Form: P075P-7

Purple Jazz^t¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: Bryan Carver⁽⁵⁾| T: J Scott| OR: 87

16/1

Well beaten sixth in a 1m4f handicap at Chepstow (good) on seasonal debut a fortnight ago. Making his handicap debut in this sphere and first hurdles start since April last year.

Form: 795/

Orsino^p1²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: S Bowen| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 86

5/1

Back from a break when 17L fifth in a handicap hurdle over an extended 2m5f at Newton Abbot (good) just under a month ago. Cheekpieces tried for the first time.

Form: P670-5

Court Dancer^p1²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-9| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams| OR: 83

9/2

Nine race maiden registered a career best effort when 18L fourth in a 2m handicap hurdle on good ground here last time out. Cheekpieces applied for the first time stepping up in trip.

Form: 60087-4

Major Snugfit^p²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: Nathan Moscrop⁽³⁾| T: R Menzies| OR: 85

33/1

Well beaten 52L 11th in a 2m handicap hurdle on good ground here when making his seasonal debut last month. Handicap debut that day and others hold more obvious claims.

Form: 8763-0

Forecasts

Waitonit (7/4), Skylanna Breeze (4/1), Court Dancer (9/2), Hidden Glen (5/1), Orsino (5/1), Cast In Grey (9/1), Connective (9/1), Molliana (14/1), Condarcia (16/1), Purple Jazz (16/1), Six Gun Serenade (33/1), Major Snugfit (33/1), Generalisation (50/1)

WAITONIT shaped like an improved performer when making a winning chase debut off this mark here recently and turned out quickly he looks capable of making a winning return to hurdling in division one of the novices' handicap event. The selection shouldn't be too inconvenienced by the drop in trip and he can get the better of top weight Hidden Glen who has run well in defeat on both starts for his current trainer. Skylanna Breeze is taken to finish third on his first start of the season.
