Chantecler^h¹²

Age: 10| Weight: 11-4| J: Kai Lenihan⁽⁷⁾| T: K Davis| D

80/1

Fair hurdler. Dual winner this season for Nicky Henderson but only twelfth of 20 in handicap hurdle (200/1) at Newbury 12 days ago. Makes bumpers debut with bit to prove now for new handler.

Form: 3117P0

Commander Miller⁹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Page Fuller| T: Mrs D O'Neill

66/1

Modest hurdler. Respectable seventh of 13 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (15.8f) 94 days ago. Switches from hurdles to bumpers and can't be dismissed.

Form: F2P-027

Deebaj⁶⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 11-4| J: Joshua Moore| T: G & J Moore| CD

11/2

Fair hurdler who followed Fontwell handicap success with easy win on return in Lingfield claimer (19.5f). Off over two months but another bold showing is likely on bumpers debut.

Form: 82/381-1

Dundrum Wood⁵³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Callum McKinnes⁽⁷⁾| T: O Murphy

13/2

Fairly useful hurdler/chaser who scored in 20f Newcastle novice handicap chase in December. Much respected in this different sphere for in-form yard.

Form: 2125-41

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: Mr Nathan Brennan⁽⁷⁾| T: A West| D

16/1

Fairly useful hurdler who recorded respectable seventh on Flat in 14f handicap at Wolverhampton 36 days ago. Worth considering on bumpers debut.

Form: 508-095

Jacke Is Back^p,t³²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Jordan Nailor⁽⁵⁾| T: G Harris

200/1

Fair chaser. 80/1, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Warwick (19f, heavy) 32 days ago, folding tamely. Has it prove on bumpers bow.

Form: 9P0-6PP

Kitty's Light¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Jack Tudor⁽³⁾| T: Christian Williams

5/1

Fairly useful winning 3m chaser. Not disgraced when fourth of 11 in bumper (14/1) over C&D 14 days ago so holds solid claims here.

Form: 121134

Mawlood^p,t¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: J E Moore| T: P W Middleton

100/1

Poor hurdler. Below-form seventh of 25 in handicap hurdle (8/1) at Warwick (16f, heavy) 16 days ago. Has plenty on his plate switched from hurdles to bumpers.

Form: FP6057

Monarchofthegrange^h³⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N & W Twiston-Davies

14/1

Fair hurdler. Last of 8 in handicap hurdle at Doncaster (16.6f, heavy, 9/2) 34 days ago. Needs to bounce back in this different code.

Form: 863-828

Sometimes Always³⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: C J Todd⁽⁵⁾| T: Ian Williams

11/8

Fairly useful hurdler who arrives on a hat-trick after wins around 20f at Wetherby and Doncaster. Has more to offer so well in the mix here.

Form: 544-211

Eyes Right⁷⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: Tom Cannon| T: A King| OR: 111| D

15/2

Fair hurdler. 10/1, respectable third of 10 in 23f handicap hurdle at Market Rasen 74 days ago. Switches to bumpers and not taken lightly for good yard.

Form: 0/437-43

Forecasts

Sometimes Always (11/8), Kitty's Light (5/1), Deebaj (11/2), Dundrum Wood (13/2), Eyes Right (15/2), Monarchofthegrange (14/1), Final Choice (16/1), Commander Miller (66/1), Robin Des People (66/1), Chantecler (80/1), Mawlood (100/1), Jacke Is Back (200/1)

A case can be made for a few of these but Gary Moore has his string in great nick so his DEEBAJ is taken to go in at the chief expense of fellow hat-trick-seeker Sometimes Always who is greatly feared. Dundrum Wood is another who needs considering on the back of his Newcastle chase win in a competitive bumper.
