Those Tiger Feet^p1³⁴¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: David Bass| T: K Bailey & M Nicholls| OR: 103| BF

2/1

Low-mileage 6-y-o who landed 18f Exeter handicap before good third off 8 lb higher there only run since. Has 11-month absence to overcome but yard going well so not dismissed with cheekpieces added.

Form: 9802/13-

Wakool²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-11| J: Lucy Alexander| T: N W Alexander| OR: 103

13/2

Scored on handicap bow at Doncaster last term and improved when third in handicap (22/1) at Carlisle (17.2f) 27 days ago. More to come up in trip so in the mix for yard that took this 12 months ago.

Form: 431-93

Crack Du Ninian¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: Sean Quinlan| T: J Candlish| OR: 100

11/4

Won sole start in Irish points and improved on previous efforts in this sphere when readily landing 2m handicap at Uttoxeter on return. Up 6 lb but still looks weighted to go in again.

Form: 78683-1

She's A Rocca²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: B S Hughes| T: N G Richards| OR: 99| C

7/1

Strong in market when winning Ayr bumper last term. Has been brought along steadily over hurdles, fourth in 17f Catterick novice last month, and sure to step forward now handicapping back up in trip.

Form: 18-464

Gold Runner²⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-5| J: Jonathan England| T: S England| OR: 97

15/2

Progressive hurdler in 2018/19 who (33/1) caught the eye after 19 months off when tenderly-handled ninth in 20f Carlisle handicap 20 days ago. Sure to do better now so well worth a market check.

Form: 67292/9

Adelphi Prince^p⁴⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: Joe Williamson⁽⁷⁾| T: P A Kirby| OR: 95

10/1

Low-mileage 7-y-o who was in excellent form last spring but (25/1) looked rusty on return when fading seventh in 2m Perth handicap. Cheekpieces back on and each-way claims.

Form: 05/342-7

Lastin' Memories^p²⁵¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: Miss S E Forster| OR: 92

40/1

Fair winning chaser last term, scoring in Kelso handicap off this mark. Returns over hurdles after 8 months off but consistent sort so not taken lightly with cheekpieces on.

Form: 6/23214-

My Strong Man²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: Thomas Dowson| T: P A Kirby| OR: 89

33/1

Poor maiden hurdler who offered little on return when fourteenth of 19 in 20f handicap at Carlisle. Easily opposed.

Form: 45748-0

African Glory¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-4| J: Danny McMenamin⁽³⁾| T: M Todhunter| OR: 82

22/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Tongue strap on and much improved when second of 11 in handicap hurdle (28/1) at Hexham (20.1f, heavy) 17 days ago. Headgear left off this time so others appeal more.

Form: 55-0702

Non-Runners

Made For You³⁸

Weight: 11-12| Age: 5

T: O Murphy J: Non Runner

Forecasts

Those Tiger Feet (2/1), Crack Du Ninian (11/4), Made For You (4/1), Wakool (13/2), She's A Rocca (7/1), Gold Runner (15/2), Adelphi Prince (10/1), African Glory (22/1), My Strong Man (33/1), Lastin' Memories (40/1)

A competitive handicap but it's hard to ignore the claims of CRACK DU NINIAN who ran out a ready winner at Uttoxeter last month and looks to have been let off lightly raised just 6 lb by the official assessor. Returning Those Tiger Feet is feared most for the in-form Kim Bailey yard, although Wakool and Gold Runner are also well worth a second look in a warm heat.
