10/1

Fifteen runs since last win in 2016, and only tenth of 17 in handicap hurdle (100/1) at Ayr (20.4f, soft) 19 days ago. Hard to warm to.

5/1

Yet to add to his bumper win in this sphere, and modest sixth in first-time cheekpieces at Plumpton (25f, good) 42 days ago. Back from breathing op now (tongue strap also on) with lots to prove.

Form: 690666-

Age: 5| Weight: 10-7| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽⁵⁾| T: P W Middleton| OR: 81| BF

Opened his account in 2m1f Plumpton handicap but only modest fifth in similar company at Southwell 40 days ago. Needs to get back on track.

Dynamic Kate^t⁶¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-5| J: Katie O'Farrell⁽⁵⁾| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 79

3/1

Lightly-raced hurdler. 50/1 and tongue strap on, best effort when running-on fourth of 13 on handicap bow at Taunton (19f) 61 days ago. Has more to offer.

Forecasts

Dynamic Kate (3/1), Shortcross Storm (3/1), Top Beak (4/1), Mawlood (9/2), Presenting Yeats (5/1), Annual Flavour (6/1), Raddle And Hum (9/1), Katachenko (10/1)

DYNAMIC KATE took a big step forward on her handicap bow when fourth at Taunton and Neil Mulholland's lightly-raced sort can capitalise on a 2 lb drop in the weights and open her account. Top Beak has a career-high mark to overcome but this C&D scorer rates the obvious threat, although Shortcross Storm is another who can have a big say if the headgear ekes out a bit more improvement again.
