Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Lorcan Williams⁽³⁾| T: P F Nicholls

11/2

£110,000 buy after winning Irish point on debut in April 2019. Shaped better than being pulled up suggests on Doncaster hurdle debut (20.8f) in January and can do better. Tongue tied.

Form: 1/P

Drumlee Watar⁸²⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-2| J: G Sheehan| T: W Greatrex| OR: 112| BF

11/1

Irish point winner who showed ability when making the frame on both hurdle starts in November 2018. Off since and betting perhaps best guide to expectations on return.

Form: 143/

Famoso^t1⁹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Bryony Frost| T: P F Nicholls

28/1

Boasts a smart pedigree but well held in bumpers 7 weeks apart, checking out tamely at Hereford last time. Tongue tie goes on now stepping up in trip for hurdle debut.

Form: 48

Flick The Switch¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Lily Pinchin⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss C Dyson

300/1

Pulled up in his only point and offered very little in a Hereford bumper 11 months later.

Form: P-7

Gentleman Kap⁸³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Lorcan Murtagh⁽³⁾| T: H Fry

125/1

Looked awkward in a bumper and showed nothing sent hurdling at Taunton in December. Up in trip.

Form: 0P

Get On Jeremy^t1³⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: T J O'Brien| T: J G Cann

250/1

Form: PP

Inishbiggle^t¹⁰¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: D A Jacob| T: H Fry

9/2

Tongue tied and shaped with promise when fourth of 14 in maiden hurdle at Uttoxeter (19.9f, heavy, 14/1) on NH debut in November, needing stiffer test. Should progress.

Form: 4

Mocacreme Has⁸⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Aidan Coleman| T: C L Tizzard| OR: 120| BF

6/4

Fair form when backed in Exeter bumpers at the start of last year and similar form when runner-up both outings over hurdles. Remains with potential now moving up in trip after a break.

Form: 36-22

Niteinshininarmour⁶⁶²

Age: 9| Weight: 11-2| J: Fergus Gillard⁽⁵⁾| T: K Woollacott

125/1

Form: 3PP2/32-

Opening Bid^h1⁸⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: James Davies| T: C J Down

200/1

Form: 4P

Seven No Trumps⁴¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton

10/3

Milan gelding who showed definite ability when third in a Ludlow maiden on debut in January, the only one to make any inroads from second half of the field. Sure to improve.

Form: 3

Streets Of London¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: David Noonan| T: Miss A M Newton-Smith

200/1

Prolific point winner but well held in a pair of Rules starts for different trainers 2 seasons apart.

Form: 1/1332-0

Will Carver²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: N de Boinville| T: N J Henderson| BF

10/1

Successful pointer who had a wind operation prior to finishing down the field in an AW bumper at Kempton on debut. Upped significantly in trip for hurdle debut and ought to do better at some point.

Form: F41-9

Maid On Mendip¹⁰⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-9| J: Jack Tudor⁽³⁾| T: Christian Williams

150/1

Comfortably held in a Ffos Las bumper on debut in November, but is bred to do better now tackling longer trips over jumps.

Form: 6

Minella Beag²⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 10-9| J: Millie Wonnacott⁽⁷⁾| T: P Gundry

250/1

A winning pointer but was pulled up on final start in that sphere and looked one for later on when well held over C&D on hurdling debut last month.

Form: 5/31P-0

Forecasts

Mocacreme Has (6/4), Seven No Trumps (10/3), Inishbiggle (9/2), Broken Halo (11/2), Will Carver (10/1), Drumlee Watar (11/1), Famoso (28/1), Fine Investment (50/1), Gentleman Kap (125/1), Niteinshininarmour (125/1), Maid On Mendip (150/1), Opening Bid (200/1), Streets Of London (200/1), Minella Beag (250/1), Get On Jeremy (250/1), Flick The Switch (300/1)

SEVEN NO TRUMPS showed definite ability in a race not run to suit at Ludlow and could be the answer for the in-form Skeltons with improvement anticipated. Broken Halo shaped better than being pulled up suggests on his Doncaster hurdle debut and is surely capable of better, while Mocacreme Has also commands respect.
