Glory And Fortune^h,t²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: J J Burke| T: T Lacey| OR: 129| D

2/1

Returned to his good novice form when second at Stratford in March but followed it with a disappointing showing at Ayr 3 weeks ago. Could bounce back down in grade with usual headgear refitted.

Form: 2/84025-

Jamacho¹⁶²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: W T Kennedy| T: C E Longsdon| OR: 125| D

25/1

Resumed in this sphere better than ever, completing a 4-timer in 2m Stratford handicap in September. Form tailed off though, and may well need this first run for 162 days.

Form: 154877-

Percy's Word¹⁴⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Bridget Andrews| T: D Skelton| OR: 119| BF| D

2/1

Useful at up to 2m on the Flat for Simon Crisford and placed 4 of 5 starts over hurdles, best effort when second in novice at Doncaster 148 days ago. Looks fairly treated.

Form: 2/2302-

Calum Gilhooley¹⁹⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: D Killahena & G McPherson| OR: 118| BF

7/2

Bumper winner who took well to hurdles in 2020, back-to-back winner of Newton Abbot novices prior to respectable runs in handicaps. More required after 6 months off.

Form: 0/21145-

Cotton End¹⁵⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Ben Jones⁽³⁾| T: Sheila Lewis| OR: 117| D

12/1

Three-time winner in 2020 but handicapped to the hilt as a result and liable to need this first run for 158 days. Others more appealing.

Form: 1511F3-

Long Call^t²⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 10-3| J: R T Dunne| T: A W Carroll| OR: 106| D

8/1

Becoming well treated but again found less than look likely when fourth at Huntingdon last time. Claims is he can see his race out thoroughly.

Forecasts

Glory And Fortune (2/1), Percy's Word (2/1), Takeit Easy (5/2), Calum Gilhooley (7/2), Long Call (8/1), Thahab Ifraj (10/1), Cotton End (12/1), Jamacho (25/1)

TAKE IT EASY is a likeable type and her cosy success over C&D last time has been boosted by the runner-up subsequently, so she's a solid option to go in again. Percy's Word is a player if ready for his reappearance and Glory And Fortune can't be dismissed back down in grade.
