Valsheda⁵⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: N de Boinville| T: N J Henderson| OR: 122| BF

13/8

Low-mileage 7-y-o who showed benefit of hurdles debut experience when landing an Exeter novice last March. Fell at Newbury on chase bow (crumpled on landing) in December so well worth another chance.

Form: 21-F

Killer Kane^t1⁴⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: Brendan Powell| T: C L Tizzard| OR: 120| D

11/2

£300,000 buy from the pointing field. Came good over hurdles with 17f Exeter maiden win last March but has failed to build on chase debut promise on his last 2 starts. Down 4 lb & tongue tie applied.

Form: 241-336

Bangers And Cash⁴³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Luca Morgan⁽⁵⁾| T: B Pauling| OR: 119

5/2

Fairly useful hurdler who returned from 10 months off with good second at Exeter. Improved on that form to make a winning chasing debut at Taunton and there's likely more to come upped in trip.

Form: 8272-21

Certainly Red¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: M Goldstein| T: Mrs L Richards| OR: 117| D

9/2

Won over hurdles Wincanton and at Chepstow last year. Offered something to work on when runner-up on chase bow at Wincanton (very novicey early) and can take a step forward here on handicap debut.

Form: 41-1642

Eragon De Chanay^v²²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: J E Moore| T: G & J Moore| OR: 117

12/1

Finally got off the mark over fences at Wincanton just over 3 weeks ago, value for extra over the short head winning margin. Up 7 lb and may be vulnerable to potential improvers in this.

Form: 053P51

Onchan^p,t²⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 110

18/1

Placed on 3 of 4 starts in maiden/novice hurdles last term but has cut little ice in 3 starts over fences so far, sporting first-time headgear/tongue tie at Wetherby last month.

Form: P23-757

Forecasts

Valsheda (13/8), Bangers And Cash (5/2), Certainly Red (9/2), Killer Kane (11/2), Eragon De Chanay (12/1), Onchan (18/1)

Impossible to rule out any of these but BANGERS AND CASH bettered his hurdles form on his first attempt over fences when scoring at Taunton in December. With improvement on the cards upped further in trip, Ben Pauling's charge can make it 2-2 in this sphere. Valsheda is feared most provided he's none the worse from his spill at Newbury on chase bow, with Certainly Red also a danger.
