Get The Appeal^p⁹³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Miss Olive Nicholls⁽⁷⁾| T: P F Nicholls| OR: 115| CD

14/1

Given a break since pulling up at Kempton over Christmas and has dropped to 1 lb lower than when scoring over C&D last spring. First ride under Rules for trainer's daughter Olive Nicholls. Interesting, particularly if the betting vibes are strong.

Form: 215-27P

Butterwick Brook^p1⁵⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Freddie Gingell⁽⁷⁾| T: C L Tizzard| OR: 115| C

7/1

Showed plenty of heart when winning a chase here in December but he's run 2 poor races since. The combination of a switch back to hurdling and first-time cheekpieces needs to have a positive effect.

Form: 3621PP

Zyon^p³⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-11| J: Mr Matthew Wilson⁽⁷⁾| T: A West| OR: 114| CD

12/1

Game scorer in 21f handicap hurdle at Kempton in February and easy to ignore his subsequent run here as he all but came down after a stumble at the sixth.

Form: 55341P

Aubusson³⁵

Age: 13| Weight: 11-9| J: Miss Anna Johnston⁽⁷⁾| T: Mrs J Williams| OR: 112| D

80/1

Landed a veterans' chase at Lingfield last winter but ended that campaign in a lull and no show over fences this term. Remains to be seen if a switch back to the smaller obstacles helps him.

Form: 572-PP9

Salley Gardens^p,t¹³⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: Mr James King| T: O Murphy| OR: 111| D

7/2

Big improver in the autumn, winning 3 times at up to 23.5f. Big player if returning from a break in similar form.

Form: 00-1211

Dan's Chosen⁷⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: Elizabeth Gale⁽⁷⁾| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 110

15/2

Third sole start in Irish points and showed first form under Rules when runner-up in maiden hurdle at Chepstow (19.5f) in November. Pulled up on handicap debut at Exeter but remains lightly raced.

Form: 3/5P25P

The Raven's Return^p²⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 10-9| J: Miss Molly Landau⁽⁷⁾| T: C Gordon| OR: 98| BF

10/3

Losing run goes back a bit but he's only recently joined this yard and started out for it with a runner-up effort at Carlisle last month under Molly Landau. Cheekpieces back on. Much respected.

Form: 962322

Getaway Cory^p¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: Mr Joshua Newman⁽³⁾| T: K Woollacott| OR: 87

11/4

Modest maiden but has recorded a couple of creditable placed efforts since cheekpieces have been applied (C&D first occasion). 2 lb out of the handicap here.

Form: 44F623

Frame Rate^p⁶³

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: Miss Ella Herbison⁽⁷⁾| T: C J Gray| OR: 80

33/1

Has been in decent form on the Flat for this yard, including a win in January, but he didn't show much back hurdling in November. Hard to assess.

Form: 59/205-0

McGregors Charge¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Mr Peter Summers⁽⁷⁾| T: L Hurley| OR: 85

80/1

Seemed to show a bit when third at Hexham (2m) on debut last summer but has failed to build on that since, pulling up on handicap debut at Taunton 16 days ago. Long way out of the handicap.

Form: 368P

Getaway Cory (11/4), The Raven's Return (10/3), Salley Gardens (7/2), Butterwick Brook (7/1), Dan's Chosen (15/2), Zyon (12/1), Get The Appeal (14/1), Frame Rate (33/1), McGregors Charge (80/1), Aubusson (80/1)

THE RAVEN'S RETURN appeals as one who should be winning races for the Chris Gordon stable and gets the nod with headgear back on. Salley Gardens was an improver in the autumn and will be a big threat if showing up in similar form after a break. Olive Nicholls has her first ride under Rules on Get The Appeal, who won over C&D off a very similar mark last spring and needs keeping a close eye on in the betting back from a break.
