Blistering Barney^h¹⁷³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: G Lee| T: C N Kellett| OR: 66

25/1

Won over 1¼m at Redcar last autumn. Not at best at Nottingham on final start but could get back on track here. First attempt over this trip.

Form: 5/05216-

Petitioner^p¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: Joanna Mason⁽⁵⁾| T: J J Davies| OR: 65| D

15/2

Fourteen runs since last win in 2017. Off 7 months, respectable fifth of 7 in handicap at Beverley (12f, good to firm, 12/1) 12 days ago, needing stiffer test. One to consider with that behind him.

Form: 66/744-5

(4)

Sir Charles Punch^p,t¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 65

8/1

Failed to win for this yard last season and disappointed on his Beverley return 12 days ago despite being strong in the market.

Form: 54494-7

Al Kherb^p1²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 65| D

11/1

Good fourth of 13 in handicap hurdle (20/1) at Newcastle (2m) 27 days ago. Cheekpieces on first time now returning to the Flat. Has a reduced mark to work with in this sphere.

Form: 455/56-0

(1)

Kings Creek⁵⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Jamie Gormley| T: I Jardine| OR: 62

18/1

Fair hurdle winner for this yard. Should be competitive from this mark now turning his attentions back to the Flat.

Form: 795/65-

(15)

Tundra¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: S W Kelly| T: P D Evans| OR: 62

8/1

Winner at Wolverhampton in March. 25/1, good fourth of 13 in handicap at Windsor (10f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Back up in trip. Capable of playing a part.

Form: 082164

Flammarion^h1²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 61

13/2

Fair bumper winner. Modest so far on the Flat, including on handicap debut latest. Is still early days for him in this sphere, though.

Form: 7-598

(14)

Army Of One⁹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: M Appleby| OR: 61

16/1

Runner-up on Flat in Germany last year. No show over hurdles for Gavin Cromwell this winter. Betting best guide to what's expected on this return to the Flat for a new stable.

Form: 44275-

Termonator^b¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: P J McDonald| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 61

15/2

Latest win at Newcastle in December. Second of 4 in handicap (5/2) at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 14 days ago. Yard in form so needs considering.

Form: 1-36462

Major Snugfit¹⁶⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Cam Hardie| T: R Menzies| OR: 60| D

Trinity Star^b¹⁸²

Age: 10| Weight: 9-1| J: Connor Murtagh⁽³⁾| T: D Thompson| OR: 59| CD

50/1

Quirky sort. C&D winner in 2019. Last of 14 in handicap at Newcastle when last seen in October. Probably best to look elsewhere.

Form: 275760-

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: Ella McCain⁽⁵⁾| T: James Moffatt| OR: 58

5/1

First run since for this yard when second to a next-time-out winner at Catterick (14f, good, 14/1) 19 days ago. Stable going well. Much respected.

Age: 11| Weight: 8-8| J: J P Sullivan| T: Suzzanne France| OR: 52| D

40/1

Twelve runs since last win in 2019. 18/1, bit below form fifth of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (12.4f) 13 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Form: 50688-5

Allerthorpe^t⁴⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-2| J: Faye McManoman⁽³⁾| T: B Rothwell| OR: 45

125/1

150/1, sixth of 9 in handicap at Southwell (12.1f) 48 days ago. Tongue strap back on. Easy to look elsewhere.

Form: 80-9686

Forecasts

Ghadbbaan (5/1), Low Profile (5/1), Flammarion (13/2), Termonator (15/2), Petitioner (15/2), Sir Charles Punch (8/1), Tundra (8/1), Al Kherb (11/1), Army Of One (16/1), Kings Creek (18/1), Blistering Barney (25/1), Major Snugfit (25/1), Archive (40/1), Trinity Star (50/1), She Got Fast (80/1), Allerthorpe (125/1)

Mark Walford has his team in good nick so LOW PROFILE gets the nod to build on a good effort behind a thriving rival at Catterick 19 days ago. Termonator is another who hails from an in-form stable and he heads the dangers along with Petitioner and Tundra.
