Nelson River^p¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-13| J: R Kingscote| T: A W Carroll| OR: 66

3/1

Latest win at Wolverhampton in January. Latest Flat outing best excused but hasn't been firing over hurdles subsequently. Not totally discounted.

Form: 495-190

(3)

Arty Campbell^b³⁶

Age: 11| Weight: 9-12| J: Jordan Williams⁽⁷⁾| T: B J Llewellyn| OR: 65| CD

20/1

C&D winner but not the force of old and recent hurdling effort at this course was disappointing. Not completely ruled out from reduced mark with 7-lb claimer on board.

Form: 746363-

Orsino^b1⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-11| J: S Bowen| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 64

16/1

Eighth of 15 in handicap chase (15/2) at Worcester (20f, good) 7 days ago. Below form when last seen on the Flat but now blinkered from a much-reduced mark.

Form: 20053/0-

Triple Nickle³²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: Ray Dawson⁽³⁾| T: B J Llewellyn| OR: 63| C

10/3

Scored from 1-lb lower mark at this course last term and arrives fit from hurdling, albeit not on his game at Wincanton 32 days ago. Trip is an unknown.

Form: 131439-

Stormy Night¹⁰^{(ex 5)}

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: S W Kelly| T: P D Evans| OR: 58

11/4

Improved on recent efforts to win 11-runner handicap (8/1) at Wolverhampton (14f) 10 days ago. Carries penalty. Shortlist material.

Form: 070841

(9)

Zillion²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: David Probert| T: Mrs S Gardner| OR: 58| C

9/2

Course winner. 16/1, fifth of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (16.6f) 20 days ago. Needs to bounce back.

Form: 146/8-45

(2)

Scarlet Ruby^p1⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Adam J McNamara| T: J G M O'Shea| OR: 56| C

40/1

Course winner. Disappointing Flat debut for this stable in February and no promise over hurdles subsequently.

Form: 84135-0

Panatos^v1¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 8-13| J: Saffie Osborne⁽⁷⁾| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR: 52| CD

10/1

C&D winner. Cheekpieces on for 1st time in this code, below form eighth of 14 in handicap hurdle (22/1) at Newton Abbot (21.6f, good) 17 days ago. Visor on 1st time. Others preferred.

Form: 76763/6-

Royal Born⁵⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 8-7| J: K T O'Neill| T: A Phillips| OR: 45

66/1

Unreliable sort. Sixth of 9 in minor event (150/1) at Southwell (12.1f) 50 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Not easy to make a case for.

Forecasts

Stormy Night (11/4), Nelson River (3/1), Triple Nickle (10/3), Zillion (9/2), Panatos (10/1), Orsino (16/1), Arty Campbell (20/1), Teemlucky (20/1), Scarlet Ruby (40/1), Royal Born (66/1)

STORMY NIGHT had plenty to spare when making all at Wolverhampton 10 days ago and, provided he turns up in the same mood, he's up to defying a penalty up against opposition who, in the main, have something to prove. Arty Campbell and Nelson River are the most feasible dangers returning to the Flat.
