Billy Bathgate⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-8| J: Craig Nichol| T: A C Whillans

50/1

Well held in 2 bumpers. Better signs when third on Kelso hurdle debut but the form is only modest. Out of depth in Haydock listed latest.

Form: 6-73P

Cellar Vie^h²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: B S Hughes| T: J Ewart

25/1

Just minor promise in bumpers in 2018/19 and similar story in Carlisle maiden hurdle on return from absence 3 weeks ago. Brian Hughes up but will need to improve a fair bit.

Form: 735/7

Dharan²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: S Bowen| T: W Bethell

50/1

50/1 but shaped with some encouragement when fourth of 7 in 2½m Hexham maiden hurdle (heavy0 24 days ago, travelling smoothly. Drop to 2m should help on that evidence. Open to progress.

Form: 4

Fantastic Rock²⁹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: Ryan Mania| T: A M Thomson| OR: 125WS

13/8

Fair form when runner-up twice over hurdles in France last winter. Had wind surgery ahead of this first run for new trainer. Respected.

Form: 4P226F-

Happy Hollow¹⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-8| J: Sean Quinlan| T: J Candlish| D

10/3

Unbeaten in 3 bumpers in 2016. Clearly had a few issues but there was promise on his 20.5f course hurdle debut 19 days ago and he can build on that with his yard continuing in form.

Form: 111/3

Hat Yai³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 11-8| J: C O'Farrell| T: J H Black

200/1

Modest in 2 runs on Flat for Andrew Balding and no show in 2 maiden hurdles in Ireland for this yard.

Form: P0

Let There Be Love²³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: Grant Cockburn⁽³⁾| T: N W Alexander

400/1

16/1, well held on Kelso bumper debut earlier this month. Can only watch here after that.

Form: 0

Murvagh Beach²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: Callum Bewley| T: N G Richards

28/1

Well held in bumper/2 hurdles. Looks more one for handicaps.

Form: 6-56

Unohu²²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: J J Burke| T: T Lacey| D

6/5

Fairly useful bumper winner last term. Similar form when promising second on Ffos Las hurdle debut/reappearance. Good chance he can go one better now.

Form: 132-2

That's Your Lottie²⁷²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: S Mulqueen⁽³⁾| T: K Scott

400/1

Beaten a long way in 2 bumpers at the beginning of the year so likely outsider now hurdling on return.

Form: 58-

Forecasts

Unohu (6/5), Fantastic Rock (13/8), Happy Hollow (10/3), Cellar Vie (25/1), Murvagh Beach (28/1), Dharan (50/1), Billy Bathgate (50/1), Eltico (100/1), Hat Yai (200/1), Let There Be Love (400/1), That's Your Lottie (400/1)

UNOHU made a good start over hurdles when second at Ffos Las and is taken to go one better now. Fantastic Rock will give him something to think about if able to reproduce the pick of last season's French form on this first outing for Sandy Thomson. Happy Hollow can build on his course hurdle debut third earlier this month and looks best of the remainder.
