Wild Wilbur⁹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: Miss E C Lavelle| OR: 105

6/1

Best of three novice/maiden hurdle runs when third at this track in December. Tame display on handicap bow at Southwell next time, but could get back on track after a break.

Form: U53P

Crawford^t⁹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: Jack Tudor| T: M Bradstock| OR: 104WS

16/1

Lightly-raced maiden who has shown fair form on one occasion over hurdles. Dropped away tamely when pulled up at Southwell 3 months ago, so returns with a bit to prove after wind op.

Form: 77-720P

Good News^v³⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 11-11| J: Tom Cannon| T: Mrs L Richards| OR: 104| CD

1/1

Has found some form lately, better than ever when seeing off a progressive rival with a gutsy display over C&D 34 days ago. Only up 4 lb, so worth a chance to follow up.

Form: 1-PF431

Manning Estate^p⁹⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-10| J: Alfie Jordan⁽¹⁰⁾| T: O Sherwood| OR: 103

13/2

Patchy form this season but he's down the weights as a result and heavy ground probably wasn't to his liking at Fontwell last time. Can't be discounted back on a sounder surface.

Form: 7-3545P

Jumping Cats^b1¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: J E Moore| T: G & J Moore| OR: 101

11/1

Got his act together with wins at Fontwell/Fakenham in October but has found life tougher since. Mark has edged back down and blinkers now applied up in trip.

Form: P11785

Precious⁵⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: Rex Dingle| T: A J Honeyball| OR: 67| C

4/1

Won a course bumper so, while she's yet to show anything over hurdles there's a chance she can make a bigger impact now up in trip/handicapping here from a lowly mark.

Form: 10-0090

Jappeloup^p⁶²

Age: 13| Weight: 10-0| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽³⁾| T: Mrs D Grissell| OR: 65

80/1

Poor maiden hurdler/chaser who is expected to struggle once again from out of the weights.

Form: 555-3PP

Forecasts

Good News (1/1), Precious (4/1), Wild Wilbur (6/1), Manning Estate (13/2), Jumping Cats (11/1), Crawford (16/1), Jappeloup (80/1)

GOOD NEWS showed an excellent response to pressure when scoring over C&D last time and a 4 lb rise seems potentially lenient, so he's fancied to go in again. A revival from Manning Estate would make him a danger from a handy mark and it's too soon to write Wild Wilbur off.
