Selected odds by:

Take Your Time³⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Harry Skelton| T: P F Nicholls| OR: 124| BF

5/2

Point winner who confirmed debut promise when readily making all in novice at Lingfield. Creditable second under a penalty at Chepstow since and stiffer test will suit on handicap bow.

Form: 1-312

Sizable Sam²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Rex Dingle| T: J Scott| OR: 124| C

2/1

Bumper winner who didn't need to improve when landing odds in novice hurdle at Wincanton on second hurdles start. Remains open to improvement in this sphere now handicapping.

Form: 21-21

Manning Estate⁵⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: Kai Lenihan⁽¹⁰⁾| T: O Sherwood| OR: 123

20/1

Fairly useful winning 3m hurdler. Hasn't convinced back chasing the last twice but may fare better returned to the smaller obstacles.

Form: 2/F1-436

Rookie Trainer^t⁴⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: R T Dunne| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 120

40/1

Has quickly made into a fairly useful hurdler, scoring in 19f novice at Fontwell on return. However, well held off this opening mark at Wetherby since.

Form: 18/62-10

Martha Brae^p³³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Mr Caoilin Quinn⁽¹⁰⁾| T: W Greatrex| OR: 118WS

28/1

Fairly useful novice hurdler last season but has made an unpromising start this time around. Has had a wind op but others preferred.

Form: 222-844

Oneupmanship³²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: M D Grant| T: Jack Barber| OR: 118

16/1

Fair form in bumpers and better form when placed both starts in novice hurdles this season. Remains with potential now handicapping.

Form: 243-23

Tel'art¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: Luca Morgan⁽⁷⁾| T: B Pauling| OR: 117

25/1

Improved model this summer, scoring twice at up to 2¾m. Failed to trouble the judge of late but is creeping back down the weights.

Form: 13P659

Thunderstruck⁵¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: D A Jacob| T: Miss E C Lavelle| OR: 117

7/1

£125,000 purchase after landing Irish point and promise under Rules for all he remains a maiden, shaping better than bare result over timber at Newbury and not knocked about on chase bow/return.

Form: 2/2626-5

Honest Exchange⁴⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: C L Tizzard| OR: 117

20/1

Dual Irish-point winner who turned in his best effort of the season when third of 11 on handicap debut at Taunton in November. Dropped back in trip and worth a second look.

Form: 213-933

Keep Rolling^t²³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-5| J: M G Nolan| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 117

6/1

Fairly-useful bumper winner who has improved with each run over hurdles, making a winning return after over a year off at Hereford last month. Surely has more to offer still now handicapping.

Form: V7/P43-1

Flying Risk²³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss J S Davis| OR: 116

200/1

Fair hurdler but is going the wrong way and offered little on first outing for 4 months/since leaving Gordon Elliott at Exeter.

Form: 23-790P

Santon⁴³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: Tom Cannon| T: A King| OR: 115

16/1

Has improved with each run and got much more involved when second at Doncaster 6 weeks ago. Opening mark demands more, however.

Form: 65-72

Non-Runners

Just So Cool⁶⁵

Weight: 10-12| Age: 10

T: T Symonds J: Jordan Nailor

Forecasts

Sizable Sam (2/1), Take Your Time (5/2), Keep Rolling (6/1), Thunderstruck (7/1), Just So Cool (10/1), Oneupmanship (16/1), Santon (16/1), Honest Exchange (20/1), Manning Estate (20/1), Tel'art (25/1), Martha Brae (28/1), Rookie Trainer (40/1), Flying Risk (200/1)

JUST SO COOL capitalised on a falling mark when landing a bit of a gamble on return/debut for this yard at Market Rasen and remains on a handy mark up only 3 lb. Novice/maiden winners Keep Rolling and Take Your Time are obvious threats now handicapping for their powerful yards.
