Selected odds by:

Tigerten¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: J E Moore| T: D G Bridgwater| OR: 112

10/3

Fairly useful/reliable stayer on the Flat who made second hurdles start a winning one at Kempton. Improved further when third on handicap debut at Ludlow recently but work to do up in trip now.

Form: 413

Martin Spirit²²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: M Goldstein| T: P Butler| OR: 107

40/1

Fairly useful hurdler/chaser in France who made frame 3 times last summer. Left Francois Nicolle for £60,000 but offered little on yard debut/reappearance at Fontwell recently. Up in distance now.

Form: 22528P

Legal Rights²²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Joshua Moore| T: G & J Moore| OR: 107

11/10

Won back-to-back handicap hurdles at around 19f in December/January and back on the up after a 5-week break to score at Fontwell just over 3 weeks ago. Up 5 lb but will remain competitive up in trip.

Form: 321151

Morfee¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: M G Nolan| T: J W Mullins| OR: 106

85/40

Fair maiden who bumped into one penultimate start and shaped as if well treated from this sort of mark before departing late last time. Leading claims on handicap bow back hurdling up in trip.

Form: 2-33P2F

Aikenbreakinheart^t³⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: N F Houlihan⁽³⁾| T: R Rowe| OR: 100

18/1

Showed ability in maiden hurdles in Ireland at up to 3m but well held on second start for this yard having been handed a stiff-looking mark at Kempton last month. Dropped 7 lb as a result.

Form: 635467

Forecasts

Legal Rights (11/10), Morfee (85/40), Tigerten (10/3), Aikenbreakinheart (18/1), Martin Spirit (40/1)

MORFEE was in the process of running well when departing late on at Exeter 10 days ago and, provided that spill hasn't left a mark, Seamus Mullins' charge gets the vote to make a winning handicap debut back hurdling and up in trip. Legal Rights is sure to be popular having made it 3 wins from his last 4 starts at Fontwell last month but he may have to settle for silver, ahead of Tigerten.
