Phil Healy²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 12-1| J: Liam Harrison⁽⁵⁾| T: D Killahena & G McPherson| OR: 101

5/1

Lightly-raced maiden who finished a good staying-on fourth novice hurdle at Market Rasen (form been franked) on her penultimate start but failed to improve for a switch to handicaps last time.

Form: 53934-5

Pepper Street^t⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Tom Midgley⁽⁷⁾| T: S England| OR: 98| BF| D

3/1

Finally got off the mark over jumps with a smooth performance in 20.4f handicap at Southwell in May and readily followed up at Stratford 6 days later. Good second on the Flat last time so respected.

Form: F63-112

Lostnfound¹⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-9| J: Aaron Anderson⁽⁷⁾| T: D Thompson| OR: 95| C

14/1

Posted a good second at Fakenham in March, but isn't easy to catch right and has run below form all 3 subsequent starts, including back over fences at Cartmel 18 days ago.

Form: 9027-70

Dangan Des Champs^p⁵⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: T J O'Brien| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 92

16/1

Pulled up first 2 starts under Rules, but positives to glean from second in first-time cheekpieces at Chepstow in April. Well held off a stiff-looking mark on handicap bow so plenty more needed.

Form: 6/DPP20-

I'm On Snap¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: J J Burke| T: T Lacey| OR: 90

11/4

Finally got off the mark in a weak race when landing 4-runner handicap hurdle at Fontwell (21.8f, good to firm) 17 days ago, leading after 4 out. Just 3 lb higher here so should remain competitive.

Form: P60P-51

Annebelle^p1¹⁵⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: Sean Quinlan| T: J Candlish| OR: 87

20/1

Well held in trio of bumpers (including when last seen in January) and similar story in handful of hurdle starts. Easy to look elsewhere.

Form: 0764/70-

Kalinda³²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: Stan Sheppard| T: M Sheppard| OR: 85

16/1

Poor form in bumpers/over hurdles. Interesting to see what the market makes of her on handicap debut.

Form: 9065-06

Speedy Choice^t⁶⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: J M Quinlan| T: R Dickin| OR: 84

33/1

No show in a trio of novice events at Warwick in February and pulled up on both starts in handicaps so far. Down a further 5 lb but step forward is required.

Form: 4P85PP-

Lady Wolf⁶⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-9| J: David Noonan| T: Miss G Haywood| OR: 81

80/1

Modest Flat winner but beaten a long way all 4 starts over hurdles following 22-month absence. Makes handicap debut but easy to look elsewhere on this occasion.

Form: 0080-

Crackle Lyn Rosie^p,t²³

Age: 7| Weight: 10-3| J: Isabel Williams⁽⁵⁾| T: Evan Williams| OR: 75| BF

3/1

Largely consistent mare who ran well after 9 weeks off when staying-on third of 8 in handicap hurdle at Ludlow (15.8f, good to soft) 23 days ago. Has a lowly handicap in her so needs considering.

Form: P/8935-3

Lightning Bug³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Charlie Hammond| T: Miss S Smith| OR: 70

125/1

No promise under either code so far so easily passed over once again.

Form: F67P-P

Forecasts

I'm On Snap (11/4), Pepper Street (3/1), Crackle Lyn Rosie (3/1), Phil Healy (5/1), Lostnfound (14/1), Kalinda (16/1), Dangan Des Champs (16/1), Annebelle (20/1), Speedy Choice (33/1), Lady Wolf (80/1), Lightning Bug (125/1)

This step back up in trip looks sure to suit CRACKLE LYN ROSIE, who was doing her best work late on when finishing a very close third at Ludlow just over 3 weeks ago. The cheekpieces go back on and she's taken to finally get off the mark. The main threat could be I'm On Snap, who belatedly opened her account at Fontwell 17 days ago, ahead of Pepper Street.
