Selected odds by:

Wetlands³⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: B S Hughes| T: N G Richards| OR: 132

10/11

Bumper winner who completed a simple task to open hurdles account at Ayr (2m, heavy) in December. Followed up in 5-runner affair at Newcastle (20.3f) 35 days ago and remains unexposed.

Form: 41-3211

Karl Philippe²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: P J Brennan| T: F O'Brien| OR: 128| BF| C| D

4/5

Unbeaten in bumpers and opened hurdles account at third attempt in good style at Exeter (18.5f) in February. Pulled up in EBF final at Sandown last time, but has to be worth another chance.

Form: 1-1221P

Any Job Will Do⁹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Grant Cockburn| T: Mrs J Stephen

66/1

Big prices and just modest form in 2m Kelso hurdles. Probably one for handicaps.

Form: 74

Emory^t¹²

Age: 11| Weight: 11-0| J: Ross Chapman| T: R Ross

250/1

Unpromising in points and shaped in kind in a tongue strap on belated hurdling debut at Kelso 12 days ago.

Form: 222/3P-8

Large Action¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Sean Quinlan| T: R Fell & S Murray

14/1

Iffraaj gelding who was given a considerate introduction when 17 lengths fourth of 6 in C&D maiden hurdle on debut 13 days ago. Probably one for a bit further down the line.

Form: 4

Our Percy¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Callum Bewley| T: D W Whillans

50/1

Green sole outing in bumpers (for Charlie Longsdon) and probably needed the run when well held on Hexham hurdling/yard debut nearly 2 years later.

Form: 5/6

Stowaway John¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: S Mulqueen⁽³⁾| T: Miss S E Forster

80/1

Fair in bumpers but has shown nothing in a maiden/novice hurdle for new yard.

Form: 3595U8

It's A Lily²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-7| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: James Moffatt

200/1

Poor in bumpers and jumped none too fluently when well beaten on Catterick hurdling debut 24 days ago.

Form: 876

Forecasts

Karl Philippe (4/5), Wetlands (10/11), Large Action (14/1), Our Percy (50/1), Any Job Will Do (66/1), Stowaway John (80/1), It's A Lily (200/1), Emory (250/1)

KARL PHILIPPE was pulled up in the EBF final at Sandown last time, but with his previous form reading well, he has to be worth another chance. The promising Wetlands looks the obvious threat.
