Timoshenko^t1³⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: G Sheehan| T: Jamie Snowden| BF

7/5

Fairly useful stayer on Flat who made a successful hurdles debut at Uttoxeter. Failed to progress back there last time, but well worth another chance now faced with a stiffer test. Tongue strap on.

Form: 15

Ferry All^p1²³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Henry Brooke| T: B Ellison

16/1

Fair form in bumpers last season, but debut effort in this sphere at Southwell (15.8f) was uninspiring, to put it mildly. Now tried in cheekpieces.

Form: 9/446-P

Galileo Silver^p⁴⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: James Bowen| T: S Thomas| OR: 115

5/4

Fairly useful Flat winner who stepped up on previous hurdles efforts when second in first-time cheekpieces on debut for new yard at Bangor (19.6f) last month. The one to beat on that evidence.

Form: 45-2

Loughermore⁴⁷⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Amie Waugh⁽⁵⁾| T: S Waugh

80/1

Little impact in half-a-dozen starts between the flags and best watched on Rules debut.

Form: P647P/5-

Northwest Frontier^p¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Joe Colliver| T: Micky Hammond

17/2

Useful form in staying handicaps on Flat for Richard Fahey in 2018. Below par in limited appearances for present connections, but will be a danger to all if galvanised by this switch to hurdles.

Form:

The Blame Game²⁰⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: B S Hughes| T: J Ewart

11/1

Fair in bumpers (runner-up twice) and shaped a bit better than the result when fifth on Musselburgh hurdles debut last November. However, pulled up at Catterick since and 6-month absence to overcome.

Forecasts

Galileo Silver (5/4), Timoshenko (7/5), Mustang Alpha (9/2), Northwest Frontier (17/2), The Blame Game (11/1), Ferry All (16/1), Aire Valley Lad (20/1), Sweetest Smile (50/1), Loughermore (80/1)

This represents a good opportunity for GALILEO SILVER, who had promising dual subsequent winner Finisk River back in third when runner-up in a Bangor novice last time. Timoshenko was rather disappointing at Uttoxeter, but may well improve for this step up in trip and is next on the list, despite his penalty. One-time useful Flat performer Northwest Frontier is most interesting of the rest.
