Guguss Collonges²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: N F Houlihan⁽⁵⁾| T: G & J Moore| OR: 104

10/3

Lightly-raced maiden. 10/1, not seen to best effect (raced on inside of track) when sixth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Wincanton (21.4f) 21 days ago. Expected to be bang there off 2 lb lower mark.

Form: 67446

Bring The Bacon^h,t1⁶⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: James Best| T: T R Gretton| OR: 102

13/2

Fair form at best in 3 hurdle runs, never-dangerous third of 6 in novice over C&D 67 days ago. Tongue strap on now for handicap debut. Bit more needed.

Form: 35-463

Made For You^b1,t⁶⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Aidan Coleman| T: O Murphy| OR: 101| BF

10/3

Fair 2m winning hurdler but his run of good form ended when pulled up in 3m Ayr handicap in January. Blinkers on and sort to bounce back after a break.

Form: 12-233P

Ballycrystal⁴⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 11-4| J: Billy Garritty⁽³⁾| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 96

11/2

It's now fourteen runs since his last win in 2018, but he wasn't disgraced when third in Newcastle jumpers bumper last month. Respected back in this sphere.

Form: 6-99203

Blue Beirut²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: W T Kennedy| T: S-J Davies| OR: 95

16/1

Modest maiden on Flat and has shown similar form in three runs over hurdles, fourth of 16 in 2m novice at Ludlow (200/1) 20 days ago. Into handicaps now but opening mark looks harsh.

Form: 854

Burdigala³⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 10-6| J: Alain Cawley| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 84| D

14/1

Form: 76P800

Kapitaliste^p¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-5| J: Cillin Leonard⁽⁷⁾| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR: 83

7/2

Fair maiden on the Flat in France. 16/1, first form for current yard when second of 12 in 2m handicap hurdle at Exeter 15 days ago. Winner has gone in again so he needs considering off same mark.

Form: 558-F42

Forecasts

Made For You (10/3), Guguss Collonges (10/3), Kapitaliste (7/2), Ballycrystal (11/2), Bring The Bacon (13/2), Lucky Icon (10/1), Burdigala (14/1), Blue Beirut (16/1), Sweetest Smile (33/1)

A few of these arrive with question marks against them so this looks a good opportunity for Gary Moore's lightly-raced GUGUSS COLLONGES, who didn't enjoy the rub of the green when sixth at Wincanton and can race off a 2 lb lower mark now. Kapitaliste looks the one to chase him home on the back of his recent Exeter second, with Ballycrystal appealing as the pick of the remainder.
