Selected odds by:

Petite Ganache^p³⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: B S Hughes| T: N G Richards| OR: 105| D

18/1

Consistent sort who has looked in the handicapper's grip this term, fair seventh of 13 in handicap at Kelso (25.8f, good to soft) 34 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Form: 21-3337

Beautiful People^t⁴²²

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Daniel Hiskett⁽³⁾| T: R T Phillips| OR: 105| D

66/1

Fair 26f winner over hurdles but not seen out for 14 months. Fitness clearly a big concern now so others are preferred.

Form: 101P/16-

Hattaab^b²⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: Kielan Woods| T: D Killahena & G McPherson| OR: 104

22/1

Only one win from 24 runs, but he arrives in decent form, fifth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Huntingdon (25f, good to soft) 26 days ago. Needs bit more if he's to gain a second success though.

Form: 37P825

Evenstevens^p1³⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-10| J: Lee Edwards| T: A Ralph| OR: 103| BF

4/1

Signed off last term with fine second over 3m in the mud at Doncaster and not disgraced on return when staying-on seventh in 3m Ludlow handicap under less testing conditions. Cheekpieces on so claims.

Form: P682-7

Fawsley Spirit²⁶⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: Luca Morgan⁽⁷⁾| T: B Pauling| OR: 102

11/1

Still a maiden, and last of 8 in 3m handicap hurdle at Fakenham when last seen on track 11 months ago. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Form: 43/6682-

The Black Squirrel^p,t¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: H Hogarth| OR: 102| D

18/1

22/1 and tongue strap on, back to form when winning 3m handicap at Newcastle 14 days ago. 6 lb rise demands another step forward though.

Form: B14061

Ah Well¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-8| J: J M Quinlan| T: T Gallagher| OR: 101

13/2

Very low-mileage 8-y-o who arrives on back of good third of 11 in 20f handicap at Southwell 14 days ago. Step up in trip should suit so he's an interesting contender.

Form: 33/B5-63

Moidore²²

Age: 11| Weight: 11-6| J: C J Todd⁽⁵⁾| T: C & A Pogson| OR: 99| BF

40/1

Fair hurdler who arrives in decent form, fifth of 12 in handicap at Market Rasen (23.1f) 22 days ago. One for the shortlist.

Form: 12F-525

Presenting Yeats¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-6| J: Kevin Jones⁽³⁾| T: M F Harris| OR: 99

18/1

Fair bumper winner who wasn't disgraced on handicap bow when staying on into midfield in 21f event at Cheltenham 2 weeks ago. Step up to 3m should suit so not dismissed.

Form: 104F69

Kings Eclipse²⁶⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 11-6| J: Danny McMenamin⁽³⁾| T: A Wilson| OR: 99| D

50/1

Fair 3m winning chaser who ended last season in fine form. Back hurdling now after 8 months off though so others make more appeal on this occasion.

Form: 35P312-

Catchmeifyoucan⁸^{(ex 7)}

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Sean Quinlan| T: J Candlish| OR: 92| D

2/1

Improved hurdler this term, and she opened her account in good style in 23f handicap at Market Rasen 8 days ago. Saddles 7 lb penalty but had plenty in the tank there so holds good claims.

Form: 2453-41

Dubh Des Champs^v¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: William Shanahan⁽⁷⁾| T: P A Kirby| OR: 97| CD

15/2

C&D winner who arrives on back of good third of 13 in 3m handicap at Newcastle 14 days ago. Not taken lightly nudged up just 1 lb.

Form: 7072-93

Leading Knight^p1²²

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: David Bass| T: B Pauling| OR: 97

28/1

Lightly-raced maiden who has offered little in two runs this term, only tenth of 12 in handicap at Market Rasen 22 days ago. Cheekpieces on now but very hard to make a case for.

Form: 750-P0

Mauricio⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: Fergus Gregory⁽³⁾| T: Mrs Stella Barclay| OR: 94

150/1

Fair winning hurdler at his best but arrives out of sorts. Stamina to prove too so others lot more persuasive.

Form: 3365-9P

Dapa Lad^t1¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-5| J: James Davies| T: S Curran| OR: 84

50/1

Poor maiden hurdler for Jennie Candlish who fared no better for new yard on return after wind surgery when ninth in 19f Stratford handicap 9 days ago. Easily opposed.

Form: 50P9P-9

Dorado Dollar²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-3| J: Lily Pinchin⁽⁵⁾| T: B I Case| OR: 82

16/1

Modest maiden who turned in a lacklustre display when tenth in 25f handicap at Huntingdon last time. Very hard to enthuse over.

Form: 66P-430

Janeymac¹⁵

Forecasts

Catchmeifyoucan (2/1), Evenstevens (4/1), Ah Well (13/2), Dubh Des Champs (15/2), Fawsley Spirit (11/1), Dorado Dollar (16/1), The Black Squirrel (18/1), Petite Ganache (18/1), Presenting Yeats (18/1), Hattaab (22/1), Leading Knight (28/1), Janeymac (33/1), Moidore (40/1), Kings Eclipse (50/1), Dapa Lad (50/1), Beautiful People (66/1), Mauricio (150/1)

CATCHMEIFYOUCAN has returned an improved model this season for the in-form Jennie Candlish yard so is fancied to defy a 7 lb penalty for her impressive recent Market Rasen win. Ah Well still has few miles on the clock so looks a big threat if the step up to 3m brings about some improvement, while C&D winner Dubh Des Champs and the unexposed Presenting Yeats are worth considering for a place.
