Nye Bevan^t²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: Mr Jamie Neild⁽¹⁰⁾| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 100

10/3

Knocked on the door in handicaps prior to shedding maiden tag at Fontwell (17.7f) last month, leading 4 out and always holding on. Fancied to give another good account.

Form: 725221-

Lady Reset¹⁷³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: Fergus Gillard⁽³⁾| T: D Pipe| OR: 100| BF

12/1

Fairly useful on the Flat and left previous hurdle efforts well behind when second on handicap bow at Stratford 17 days ago. Below that level over hurdles/on Flat thereafter but break may perk her up.

Form: 45727-

Our Rodney^t⁴⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Theo Gillard⁽⁶⁾| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 97

25/1

Fair 6f winner on the Flat as a 2-y-o. Hasn't progressed over hurdles, well beaten on the back of 5 months off at Wetherby (2m) in March. Tongue tie again fitted but more needed.

Form: 0/34458-

Chapati²³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: Bryan Carver| T: J Coulson| OR: 97| D

22/1

Much improved from reduced mark when winning Southwell handicap (15.8f) in November. Creditable third at Taunton a month later but recent exploits following a break not so inspiring.

Form: 081387-

Olympic Honour²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Isabel Williams⁽³⁾| T: Evan Williams| OR: 96| D

7/2

Fair winner at best but hasn't been on his game of late, no threat from 2 out at Huntingdon (15.8f) last month.

Form: 988707-

Orchard Grove^t³³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: R Patrick⁽³⁾| T: Kerry Lee| OR: 95

2/1

Runner-up in Kilbeggan handicap on final start for Shark Hanlon. Better with each start for new yard, getting on top on the run-in at Newton Abbot (16.7f) early last month. May yet do better again.

Form: 892481-

Local Affair^p²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: Ben Jones| T: C E Longsdon| OR: 93| D

17/2

Below par in the first half of last season but definite step back in right direction when fourth of 13 at Warwick (2m) recently. 5 lb below last winning mark so not ruled out if building on that.

Form: U57P64-

Hawk Wind^h³¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Luca Morgan⁽³⁾| T: B Pauling| OR: 92

18/1

Showed a bit under a patient ride on Fakenham hurdling debut. Failed to complete in 2 subsequent starts but does at least now get a crack at handicaps. Betting should guide.

Form: 4PU-

Throckley^t¹³⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 11-0| J: Shane Quinlan| T: Katy Price| OR: 92| CD

18/1

C&D winner who ran best race for some time when runner-up in a similar event at Ludlow (15.7f) in October. However, below that level over hurdles/on Flat subsequently.

Form: 5/68268-

Forecasts

Orchard Grove (2/1), Nye Bevan (10/3), Olympic Honour (7/2), Guns For Hire (4/1), Local Affair (17/2), Vanderbilt (10/1), Lady Reset (12/1), Hawk Wind (18/1), Throckley (18/1), Chapati (22/1), Our Rodney (25/1)

ORCHARD GROVE matched the pick of his form in Ireland at the third attempt when successful at Newton Abbot early last month. That may not prove his limit for his present stable and he can defy a 4 lb higher mark. Nye Bevan is enjoying a good spell and is a big danger, ahead of Guns For Hire and Local Affair.
