Exploiteur⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Kielan Woods| T: D Killahena & G McPherson| OR: 129

7/4

Failed to score in 4 starts last season but has progressed well this term, winning a brace of handicaps before creditable fourth in River Don at Doncaster. Unseated rider second at Haydock last time.

Form: 21134U

Bothwell Bridge⁹³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: N de Boinville| T: N J Henderson| OR: 130

8/15

Useful in bumpers and easily landed the odds on Warwick hurdle debut, jumping fluently throughout. Not quite in same form in a stronger event at Newbury but is still the one to beat up in trip here.

Form: 22-13

Anax²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: S Bowen| T: Miss R Curtis

16/1

Promise on the first of 2 starts in bumpers in spring 2019, but was well held making hurdling debut back from 22 months off at Ffos Las.

Form: 56/7

Gilwen Reacher¹⁰²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams

150/1

Well held in bumper/maiden hurdle at Ffos Las.

Form: 87

Sam Haze⁸⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Conor Ring⁽³⁾| T: P C Dando

125/1

Shaped like a stayer making a belated Rules debut in an Exeter bumper in December. This longer trip will therefore suit better now hurdling, but unlikely to be of interest this side of handicaps.

Form: 6

Lisnagoorneen¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-9| J: C Brassil⁽⁵⁾| T: A Keatley

125/1

Looked a rather hard ride en route to finishing last in Carlisle bumper 12 days ago.

Form: 5

Forecasts

Bothwell Bridge (8/15), Henry Gondoff (6/4), Exploiteur (7/4), Anax (16/1), Lisnagoorneen (125/1), Sam Haze (125/1), Gilwen Reacher (150/1)

BOTHWELL BRIDGE was put in his place at Newbury in December, but that form has been well advertised since, so he's fancied to resume winning ways now moving up to a distance that should be within range. Henry Gondoff is open to more progress over this longer trip and is preferred to Exploiteur for forecast purposes.
