Terrierman^p²²

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Thomas Doggrell⁽⁷⁾| T: T Lacey| OR: 112

22/1

Hurdles winner for Dan Skelton in 2019 but lost his way thereafter and in trouble some way out when well beaten fourth in a C&D handicap for new yard last month. Mark has eased a little more.

Form: 027P8-4

Bean In Trouble²⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: K Brogan⁽³⁾| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 110

7/2

Handicap hurdle winner who has eased in weights and stepped up plenty on reappearance run when 2 lengths second of 11 at Huntingdon (25f) in October. A repeat should see him in the mix again here.

Form: 5773-42

Putting Green^p³²

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Hugh Nugent| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 110

22/1

Back to winning ways at Perth (all 3 hurdle wins there) in July. Struggled to make an impact in the Cesarewitch on latest outing in October but this much more suitable back over timber.

Form: 3-0P213

Tip Top Cat²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Liam Harrison⁽³⁾| T: F O'Brien| OR: 107

4/1

Lightly-raced maiden who got back on track when staying on for third for new yard at Ludlow (23.8f) in October. Eased another 2 lb ahead of this and he's worth a second look for in-form yard.

Form: 43/930-3

Major Robinson³⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Philip Armson⁽⁶⁾| T: D Pipe| OR: 107

8/1

Bumper winner who has proven unreliable without success for this yard. Made little impact after another wind op on return here (18.5f) in October so needs to take a big step forward to figure.

Form: 782-F57

Hurricane Mitch^t1³⁵¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Lorcan Murtagh⁽³⁾| T: H Fry| OR: 105WS

5/1

Runner-up on second of his 2 starts in bumpers last season and occupied same spot both hurdles outings during the autumn. This trip should suit now handicapping in tongue tie on back of a wind op.

Form: 52/22-

Pour Une Raison²²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Finn Lambert⁽⁷⁾| T: N R Mitchell| OR: 103| C

20/1

Course winner who dispelled some lesser efforts when running out a convincing winner at Warwick (26f) in March. 11 lb higher mark to contend with on return but good showing not ruled out.

Form: 197371-

Call Simon^p³⁰⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Lorcan Williams| T: Nicky Martin| OR: 103| BF

15/2

Low-mileage sort who stayed on gradually for third on handicap debut at Warwick (21f) in December. Disappointed on his final start but he may well bounce back on return.

Form: 63/353P-

Bring The Action^t²⁴⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Kieren Buckley⁽³⁾| T: N J Hawke| OR: 103

20/1

Point winner who showed much improved form when just failing on handicap debut at Hereford (19.6f) in February. Pulled up at Southwell next time but not one to write off on return to action.

Form: 1/4972P-

Airton^b²¹¹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-9| J: Harry Kimber⁽³⁾| T: S Holdsworth| OR: 93| D

66/1

Landed a gamble off a career-low mark at Uttoxeter (23f) in September. Ended time with David Pipe below best and offered little when pulled up on yard debut at Newton Abbot in April. Blinkers on.

Form: 13380P-

Get An Oscar^b²²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-9| J: Dylan Kitts⁽⁷⁾| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 93| D

28/1

Perked up by change of headgear when runner-up at Worcester (23f) in August but ran out next time and simply below best in a C&D handicap last month.

Form: 2392R3

Sienna Royale²⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-3| J: David Prichard| T: J Scott| OR: 87

13/2

Strong at the finish when opening her account at Fontwell (19.2f) in March. Similar form when fourth on return at Ffos Las (23.8f) in October and she may well come on for that run here.

Form: 2/551-44

Master Tradesman^p,t⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 10-2| J: Ellis Collier⁽⁷⁾| T: R Mitford-Slade| OR: 86

22/1

Maiden who found only a progressive sort too strong when 8.5 lengths second at Newton Abbot (26.5f) in September. Disappointed at Hereford 9 days ago though, and bounce back called for.

Form: P73-227

Bellamy's Grey¹⁷⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 10-0| J: Sean Houlihan| T: C J Gray| OR: 82

80/1

Long-standing maiden who disappointed when last seen over fences back in May, tailed off by halfway and pulled up. Others make greater appeal back over hurdles.

Form: P3953-P

Mr Fitzroy^t¹⁷⁷

Age: 11| Weight: 10-0| J: Mr Ben Ffrench Davis⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss J S Davis| OR: 77

50/1

Winless since 2017 but did run best race for some time when third of 9 at Ffos Las (23.8f) in May. However, no sure thing to build on that again operating from out of the weights.

Form: P634/7-3

Forecasts

Bean In Trouble (7/2), Tip Top Cat (4/1), Hurricane Mitch (5/1), Sienna Royale (13/2), Call Simon (15/2), Major Robinson (8/1), Mr Washington (10/1), Bring The Action (20/1), Pour Une Raison (20/1), Terrierman (22/1), Master Tradesman (22/1), Putting Green (22/1), Get An Oscar (28/1), Mr Fitzroy (50/1), Mistertommyshelby (50/1), Airton (66/1), Bellamy's Grey (80/1)

A fairly useful sort in bumpers, HURRICANE MITCH didn't go without promise in a pair of hurdle outings over shorter this time last year. The type to be suited by the increase in trip now handicapping, he gets the nod to come out on top in a first-time tongue tie on the back of a wind op. Tip Top Cat, Bean In Trouble and Sienna Royale are others to consider in the opener.
