Fleminport⁴⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 12-6| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 107

10/1

Still without a win over fences and has made little impact in 3 attempts this season. Down in class.

Form: 542/676

Toad^h,t⁷⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽³⁾| T: Georgie Howell| OR: 99

50/1

Fair third on hurdles debut at Plumpton in January 2020, but no form otherwise, including on chase bow at Lingfield in December after a 21-month absence.

Form: 537P/7

Aire Valley Lad^b²⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-10| J: Ryan Mania| T: J Parkinson & S Smith| OR: 97| BF

15/2

Fair hurdle winner and at least as good over fences, responding well to blinkers when good second at Catterick 4 weeks ago. That form looks solid so should go well again.

Form: 84P322

Felton Bellevue^p,t²⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: Harry Bannister| T: B I Case| OR: 95| BF

3/1

Modest hurdler who got off the mark over fences with a strong staying performance at Hereford last month. Improved again when second at Wincanton and makes plenty of appeal on that form up only 1 lb.

Form: B62212

Jessie Lightfoot¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: Lily Pinchin⁽⁵⁾| T: J Groucott| OR: 91| CD

10/3

Runner-up in a Uttoxeter handicap hurdle in 2020. Better with each run this season, off the mark over C&D on second chase start 2 weeks ago, though 11 lb rise looks harsh.

Form: 62-9041

Sir Apollo⁵³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Jonathan England| T: S England| OR: 87

3/1

Only poor form in 3 runs over hurdles. Gambled on but no improvement on chase debut at Uttoxeter on return, though was given a considerate introduction to the larger obstacles. Likely to do better.

Form: 5/499-5

Goodwillhunting^p1,t1⁵³

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: David England| T: R Potter| OR: 69

5/1

Maiden Irish pointer who has made no impact in a maiden/novice hurdles.

Form: 6P5-0PP

Forecasts

Felton Bellevue (3/1), Sir Apollo (3/1), Jessie Lightfoot (10/3), Goodwillhunting (5/1), Alright Chief (6/1), Aire Valley Lad (15/2), Fleminport (10/1), Glacier Fox (25/1), Toad (50/1)

FELTON BELLEVUE is getting better with each run over fences, recording a good time when beaten only by a subsequent winner at Wincanton last month, and makes plenty of appeal off a similar mark. Aire Valley Lad and Alright Chief are feared most.
