Age: 10| Weight: 12-2| J: Kieren Buckley⁽³⁾| T: N J Hawke| OR: 106| D

11/2

Twenty three runs since last win in 2018, and below form fifth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Perth (16.2f, good) 23 days ago. Others are preferred.

Form: 433625

Pink Jazz^t¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-12| J: Theo Gillard| T: S Curran| OR: 104

14/1

Lightly-raced maiden over hurdles who posted very good third of 6 in handicap at Fontwell (17.7f, good to soft) 14 days ago. Fair winner on the Flat, and he's one to consider eased 1 lb.

Form: 356-3

En Couleur¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-10| J: Tom Midgley⁽³⁾| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 102

14/1

Lightly-raced maiden hurdler. Cheekpieces on when tenth of 13 in handicap at Ayr on Flat 11 days ago. Has plenty to prove back in this sphere.

Form: 43544-

Spantik^p¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-9| J: K Brogan| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 101| C

11/2

Fair winning hurdler who arrives on back of 14f Redcar handicap success 14 days ago. Cheekpieces worn there are retained, so he's well in the mix for his in-form yard.

Form: 41-5565

Treasured Company²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Thomas Willmott⁽³⁾| T: J Parkinson & S Smith| OR: 95

6/1

Readily opened his account in 16-runner handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (15.8f, good) 20 days ago. Hiked up 9 lb but he can make his presence felt again.

Form: 43R401

Strong Team^v¹³

Age: 8| Weight: 10-13| J: Oakley Brown| T: C Grant| OR: 89| CD

8/1

Fair hurdler at his best who has got right back on track since the visor went on, landing handicaps over C&D and at Kelso with something to spare. Big player in his hat-trick bid.

Form: 4-60711

Handsome Samson²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: Alex Edwards| T: R Spencer| OR: 89

25/1

Remains winless, and he came in only twelfth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (23.3f, good) 27 days ago. Down in trip and needs a couple of these to falter.

Form: 38/686-0

Baraboy¹²³²

Age: 11| Weight: 10-11| J: Lorcan Murtagh| T: F P Murtagh| OR: 87| CD

125/1

C&D winner but off over 3 years since finishing lame in handicap hurdle here. Fitness is a major concern on his belated comeback.

Form: 3U4249/

Sergeant^p¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-6| J: Mitchell Bastyan⁽³⁾| T: M F Harris| OR: 84| BF| D

9/4

Brickadank¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-6| J: Emma Smith-Chaston⁽⁶⁾| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 82

12/1

Poor maiden on level and over hurdles. Well held in 2m1f handicap (250/1) at Pontefract 12 days ago. Hard to enthuse over returned to hurdles too.

Form: 97-3349

My Poem²²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Ross Turner⁽³⁾| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 77

16/1

Fair winner at 11f on Flat. Lightly-raced maiden over hurdles, best effort when fourth of 6 in handicap at Newton Abbot (16.8f, good) 22 days ago. Needs to take another step forward.

Form: 8F774

Naasik^v⁴⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: Alexander Fielding⁽⁵⁾| T: J R Norton| OR: 68

100/1

Remains a maiden after 29 runs, and only twelfth of 14 in handicap at Stratford (16.3f, good) 40 days ago. Faces uphill task from 8 lb out of the handicap.

Form: 4-70960

Forecasts

Sergeant (9/4), Spantik (11/2), Speredek (11/2), Treasured Company (6/1), Strong Team (8/1), Brickadank (12/1), Pink Jazz (14/1), En Couleur (14/1), My Poem (16/1), Handsome Samson (25/1), Naasik (100/1), Baraboy (125/1)

STRONG TEAM hasn't looked back since the visor went on and remains well treated on his past exploits so can complete a hat-trick after ready wins over C&D and at Kelso. Sergeant came a cropper at the first at Newton Abbot last time but had won cosily there previously and is feared most, although Spantik and Pink Jazz aren't taken lightly either in a competitive handicap.
