Killaro Boy^h⁴⁵¹

Age: 12| Weight: 11-7| J: Lee Edwards| T: Henry Oliver| OR: 132

4/1

Landed a hunter chase on debut for this yard at Warwick (25.5f) in May 2019 and ran with credit when placed in conventional handicaps later that year. Definite player if fit enough for this return.

Form: 75/1228-

Behind Time^b1¹⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 11-4| J: C J Todd⁽⁵⁾| T: J J O'Shea| OR: 103

50/1

Has a patchy profile under Rules and while he stepped up on his Ludlow effort when mid-field Catterick a fortnight ago, that his probably his level nowadays.

Form: 53P-P76

Cat Tiger^t³⁵⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: H Cobden| T: P F Nicholls| OR: 142WS

4/9

Smart chaser in France ad achieved useful form for this yard having retained novice status over hurdles in 2019/20, winning 3 times. Had a wind p since last seen and a fascinating hunter debutant.

Form: 21211P-

Dr Des^p1²⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 11-4| J: James Bowen| T: G J Barber| OR: 120| D

9/1

Useful hurdler in 2017/18 but has failed to win over the larger obstacles and was never really a threat in a hunter at Warwick a month ago. Cheekpieces fitted.

Form: 0173-35

Goodtoknow^p¹²⁸

Age: 13| Weight: 11-4| J: R Patrick| T: Ms Jordan Devlin| OR: 109

80/1

Useful at best but lightly raced and a declining force for Kerry Lee. Unplaced in a point when last seen in October.

Form: D4/73P-8

Heist^t,v⁸⁰

Age: 11| Weight: 11-4| J: Thomas Garner| T: M Comley| OR: 107

80/1

Took little interest back over fences in a modest handicap on final outing for Patrick Griffin in September. Pulled up on point debut in December and is one to avoid.

Form: 6P-390P

Straidnahanna^t1³⁷³

Age: 12| Weight: 11-4| J: Mr Nathan Brennan⁽⁷⁾| T: A Ward-Thomas| OR: 124

40/1

Thorough stayer with a very mixed record. Won last start between the flags in February 2020.

Form: P/P3531-

Tango De Juilley¹¹

Age: 13| Weight: 11-4| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: Miss V Williams| OR: 135

6/1

Formerly classy chaser whose return from nearly 4 years off the track was anticlimatic, clouting the first and unseating the rider. This will hopefully reveal a lot more.

Form: 1612P/U

Wes Hardin¹⁰⁰⁹

Age: 12| Weight: 11-4| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: Miss Bohemia Houghton| OR: 114

50/1

Last seen under Rules back in 2016. Successful on his last 2 starts in points, but even those efforts were in 2018.

Forecasts

Cat Tiger (4/9), Killaro Boy (4/1), Tango De Juilley (6/1), Dr Des (9/1), Henri Parry Morgan (20/1), Straidnahanna (40/1), Behind Time (50/1), Wes Hardin (50/1), Heist (80/1), Goodtoknow (80/1)

Question marks surround the majority of these, with CAT TIGER easily the most persuasive option. He's been off the track since finding the Albert Bartlett too hot a year ago, but is in top hands and was formerly pretty smart over fences in France. Tango de Juilley's recent return from 4 years off wasn't worth the wait, but this will reveal more.
