Selected odds by:

Corrie Lake^v³⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Nick Scholfield| T: J & S Best| OR: 97

12/1

In-and-out of form this year so hard to be sure she will back up a creditable third in a Plumpton handicap last time. Solid claims if she gives her running, though.

Form: 23027-3

Always Able^p²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: Stan Sheppard| T: M Sheppard| OR: 95

5/1

Career best when winning 11-runner handicap hurdle at Stratford (22f, soft, 13/2) 25 days ago, responding well. 6 lb higher now but must enter calculations.

Form: 5636-31

Coastal Drift^t²⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: D A Jacob| T: C L Tizzard| OR: 95

13/2

Solid efforts the last twice, latest when third of 11 in handicap hurdle (7/1) at Worcester (23f, soft) 26 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Each-way claims.

Form: 7/5P7-43

Yes Governor^p1²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: David Noonan| T: N J Hawke| OR: 89

22/1

Successful completed start in Irish points but offered little in 3 starts over hurdles thus far. Cheekpieces added for handicap debut.

Form: F/179-47

Rebel Leader^t²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: Cillin Leonard⁽⁷⁾| T: Dr R D P Newland| OR: 88

7/2

Making debut for new yard when creditable fifth in Fakenham handicap (23.4f, good to soft) 24 days ago. Entitled to come on from that and holds solid claims. Tongue strap back on.

Form: 3P87P-5

That Ships Sailed^h,t²²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-9| J: Aaron Anderson⁽⁷⁾| T: J Bedi| OR: 80

66/1

Offered more when second in small-field novice at this course last month but well held in deeper contest since and tries a longer trip on first try in handicaps here.

Form: 0994-28

Getaway Bay¹²

Age: 9| Weight: 10-8| J: Alexander Fielding⁽⁷⁾| T: J Parkinson & S Smith| OR: 79

9/1

Found improvement when close second of 10 in handicap hurdle at Market Rasen (20.6f, good) 12 days ago. 3 lb higher now but is one for the shortlist nonetheless.

Form: PP/904-2

Bob Pebble^h,t²³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-6| J: R P McLernon| T: P R Webber| OR: 77

33/1

Placed both starts in bumpers, but well held all 3 completed starts over hurdles and makes limited appeal on handicap bow.

Form: 2/3F6-05

Here's Bingo^p³²

Age: 8| Weight: 10-5| J: G Sheehan| T: Mrs S Gardner| OR: 76

4/1

Remains a maiden but acquitted himself well in similar races over C&D last month and still fairly treated.

Form: 4/4F4-44

Jour A La Plage^b1¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-5| J: James Davies| T: A Wintle| OR: 76

25/1

Failed to pull up any trees for Evan Williams and no real signs of encouragement for new yard this year. Blinkers now applied for first time.

Form: 5/00U-76

Buckskin³²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: Benjamin Poste| T: Katy Price| OR: 73

16/1

Still looking for first success and is hard to fancy on back of poor effort at Bangor last month.

Form: 30905-P

Chain Smoker^p²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽⁵⁾| T: Georgie Howell| OR: 71

33/1

Fontwell win for Gary Moore in January 2020 is very much a standout on his record. Not disgraced over fences latest but it's easy enough to look elsewhere.

Form: 7/PP4-P6

Kingston King^t¹³²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: S Bowen| T: D A Rees| OR: 70

9/1

Winning pointer in Ireland but no show in 2 maiden hurdles there and similar story on debut for new connections at Ffos Las in February. 1 lb out of the weights on handicap debut. Has had wind op.

Form: 00/3419-

Movin'on Up^t¹⁸³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: Craig Nichol| T: D Thompson| OR: 70

100/1

Winner of sole start between the flags, but yet to show any worthwhile form under Rules. 1 lb out of the handicap.

Form: 68/600P-

Mighty Mustang^t¹³

Age: 11| Weight: 10-0| J: Shane Quinlan⁽⁵⁾| T: Andrew Martin| OR: 69

33/1

Poor maiden hurdler who finished well beaten in similar race earlier this month. Tongue strap back on. 2 lb out of the handicap.

Form: 0/0-0460

Forecasts

Rebel Leader (7/2), Here's Bingo (4/1), Always Able (5/1), Coastal Drift (13/2), Getaway Bay (9/1), Kingston King (9/1), Corrie Lake (12/1), Cosheston (12/1), Buckskin (16/1), Call His Bluff (20/1), Strike The Flint (20/1), Yes Governor (22/1), Jour A La Plage (25/1), Bob Pebble (33/1), Chain Smoker (33/1), Mighty Mustang (33/1), That Ships Sailed (66/1), Movin'on Up (100/1)

REBEL LEADER took a step back in the right direction, on debut for new connections when fifth at Fakenham last month and gets the nod in a tricky-looking handicap. Getaway Bay and Here's Bingo can also make their presence felt.
