Urtheonethatiwant³²

Age: 7| Weight: 12-2| J: Bryan Carver⁽³⁾| T: J Scott| OR: 107| CD

10/1

Dual winner last term but ended with a disappointing effort and offered little on Lingfield return last month.

Form: 06110-P

North Hill^h¹⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: C J Todd⁽⁵⁾| T: Ian Williams| OR: 103

12/1

Fairly-useful winning hurdler at his best but offered little the last twice, most recently on reappearance at Market Rasen.

Form: 8243/00

Alderson²⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: Alan Johns| T: J Groucott| OR: 102

18/1

Found some improvement when third of 10 on handicap debut at Bangor (23f, heavy) 27 days ago. Remains low-mileage and warrants respect.

Form: 38/8-53

Kabrit^h²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Alex Edwards⁽³⁾| T: A Ralph| OR: 100

7/2

Creditable efforts last twice over timber, latest when third of 12 in Taunton handicap (23.9f, good) 26 days ago. Should give another good account.

Form: 3-24533

Avantgardist²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: Lee Edwards| T: Henry Oliver| OR: 99

9/2

Respectable fifth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Bangor (23f, heavy) on return 27 days ago. Dropped 2 lb since but isn't the easiest to win with.

Form: 04P50-5

Jimmy Bell^p²¹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-7| J: J McGrath| T: J G M O'Shea| OR: 98

7/1

Belatedly off the mark in 12-runner handicap hurdle at Hereford (25.5f, good to soft) on return 21 days ago. 8 lb higher now but must enter calculations.

Form: 60/424-1

Belatrix Lestrange³²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: R Johnson| T: H D Daly| OR: 97| CD

2/1

Posted career best when winning 10-runner handicap hurdle over C&D (good) 32 days ago. Remains unexposed and is one for the shortlist.

Form: 29-7831

Boher Lad²¹

Age: 13| Weight: 11-0| J: Chris Ward⁽⁵⁾| T: A Phillips| OR: 91| CD

50/1

Largely performed with credit last season but turned in a rather laboured effort on his Ffos Las reappearance and was already ridden when coming to grief at Hereford last time.

Form: 1362-0U

Notnownotnever¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Mr James Jeavons⁽⁷⁾| T: T H Weston| OR: 89

40/1

No impact in maiden/novice events but could do better now upped in trip for handicap debut. Worth a second look in the market.

Form: 7788

California Soul^t¹⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 10-10| J: Lorcan Williams⁽³⁾| T: Dave Roberts| OR: 87

12/1

Took a step back in the right direction when third of 12 in handicap hurdle at Chepstow (19.4f, soft) 14 days ago. Tries longer trip now and can't be ruled out.

Form: 7P8-473

Emmas Dilemma^t²⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 10-5| J: Charlie Hammond⁽³⁾| T: H James| OR: 82

66/1

Still looking for first success and went with little fluency on return at Chepstow last month.

Form: 36/984-0

Comeonthebull⁵⁴⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-3| J: Sean Houlihan⁽³⁾| T: R Stephens| OR: 80

50/1

Fair efforts in bumpers but hurdling efforts fallen some way below that level so far and can only be watched on return from 18-month absence.

Form: 5309P/0-

Barton Rose⁹⁰

Age: 11| Weight: 10-3| J: J J Burke| T: C E Longsdon| OR: 80

50/1

Twenty runs since last win in 2017 and hasn't offered much encouragement in a couple of starts this year. Swiches from chase to hurdles.

Form: 3P73-FP

A Falling Star²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: Charlie Price⁽⁵⁾| T: A Phillips| OR: 75

80/1

No show in bumper/3 hurdles and remains to be seen if switch to handicapping brings about improvement. 2 lb out of the weights.

Form: 5/8P8

Betterlatethanneva^b,t²¹

Age: 9| Weight: 10-0| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽⁵⁾| T: Georgie Howell| OR: 64

125/1

Exposed as poor and is readily opposed from so far out of the handicap.

Form: 756-P84

Forecasts

Belatrix Lestrange (2/1), Kabrit (7/2), Avantgardist (9/2), Jimmy Bell (7/1), Urtheonethatiwant (10/1), California Soul (12/1), North Hill (12/1), Alderson (18/1), Notnownotnever (40/1), Comeonthebull (50/1), Boher Lad (50/1), Barton Rose (50/1), Emmas Dilemma (66/1), A Falling Star (80/1), Betterlatethanneva (125/1)

This can go to BELATRIX LESTRANGE, who showed a good attitude when scoring over C&D last month and still looks on a workable mark. Jimmy Bell and Alderson rate the principal dangers.
