Settings
Selected odds by:
Veteran who got off the mark over hurdles at Newton Abbot (16.7f) in summer 2017. However, absent since finishing down the field at that venue for this yard in autumn 2018.
|
Shaped with encouragement in a trio of runs in novice hurdles, so shade disappointing he couldn't make a significant impact on Carlisle handicap debut 24 days ago. Step up in trip should suit.
|
Landed a Stratford hunter (21f) in March 2019 and ran a cracker when collared close home on return from 19 months off over hurdles at tat venue in October. Rates a likely player with a repeat.
|
Signs of promise in bumpers/over hurdles, third in a C&D novice on return without being unduly punished and never a threat at Chepstow subsequently. Interesting now handicapping.
|
Left previous hurdling exploits in his wake when landing a 2m Warwick handicap in spring 2019. Disappointing on Flat later that year and the market may prove the best guide on return from 460 days off
|
Ran well despite not being ideally placed in a modestly-run affair on reappearance at Fontwell in October. Below par effort at Newton Abbot (16.7f) since but it remains early days with this 7-y-o.
|
Fair handicap hurdler, second twice in handicaps in 2018. Raced only twice since but shaped as if retaining ability when seventh of 10 at Bangor (23f) last month. Expected to be sharper now.
|
Regained winning thread over hurdles at Taunton (19f) in March and easy to overlook his Ffos Las return having got no further than the first. Mark remains workable on his old form.
|
Showed some promise over hurdles last winter and best not judged too harshly on return/handicap debut effort at Cheltenham. Return to a right-handed venue a plus and this more suitable.
|
One-time fair hurdler who underperformed for Olly Murphy last term and others make greater appeal now returning to action for new yard.
|
Modest form only start in bumpers for Nicky Henderson but seemingly brought along gradually in trio of maiden/novice hurdles for this yard. Type to do better now handicapping and betting should guide.

Forecasts
Thais Toir (3/1), Imperial Icon (7/2), Kerb Line (5/1), Brave Jaq (11/2), Jennys Day (6/1), Russian Service (7/1), New Moon (18/1), Carnage (25/1), Motdepas (40/1), Pengo's Boy (50/1), Oxford Blu (66/1)
THAIS TOIR is a low-mileage 5-y-o who has seemingly been brought along with handicaps in mind, catching the eye in a C&D novice on his return in October. The type his yard does well with in handicaps, he gets the nod to come out on top. Brave Jaq was only just touched off on his respective return, and along with Kerb Line and Imperial Icon, heads up the dangers.
