Settings
Selected odds by:
Has struggled for form in varied events since 3¼m Musselburgh win last February. Does have up Brian Hughes up, though, so worth keeping an eye on in the betting.
|
Fairly useful chaser in France but well held in a Catterick handicap hurdle on his stable debut last February and absent since. Could only consider if backed.
|
Thrived late last year, rattling off quick-fire hat-trick. Shaped as if still in good form when fourth of 13 over 19f at Taunton last month. Claims if stamina holds now stepping up in trip.
|
Fair maiden hurdler for Philip Hobbs. Little impact in points last year and watching brief advised on Rules return with a first-time headgear combination fitted.
|
Fair form, finishing placed on all 3 starts since his debut, including a handicap. Less exposed than most of these and fancied to figure prominently again.
|
Fair form in maiden/novice hurdles but he ran no sort of race on 19.5f Ayr handicap debut in November. Up in trip.
|
Kelso chase winner last winter who didn't show enough in a couple of comeback runs over hurdles last month to fancy his chances here.
|
Long time since he last won, although latest Kelso second was his best run this season. Sports a visor for the first time here.
|
Respectable fifth of 10 at Kelso in first-time cheekpieces (off now) over Christmas, although the reopposing Skipthescales was ahead of him in second.
|
Fair hurder/chaser for Katie Scott and he's shaped with promise in a pair of handicap hurdles since returning from an absence for his new yard, finishing second of 14 at Hexham latterly. Big player.
|
Hasn't offered that much encouragement in his 4 runs this season but the fact that both his wins came here means it wouldn't be a surprise if he staged a revival.
|
Didn't take to fences last month and he was rather laboured when a well-held third back hurdling at Wetherby 11 days ago. First-time blinkers (replacing cheekpieces) need to sharpen him up.
|
Opened his account in 3m Musselburgh handicap last January and has recorded creditable efforts on both starts this season (C&D first occasion). Ought to figure again.
|
Winner of 19f claimer on final start in France, but it's hard to make a case for him judged on efforts on this side of the Channel.
|
Hit the target at Carlisle and Kelso last spring but not in the same form in recent months. 5 lb out of the handicap and likely best to look elsewhere.
