Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: Jack Andrews⁽⁵⁾| T: D Skelton| OR: 121| D

1/4

Made the most of a good opportunity under a no-nonsense ride to get off the mark in a 7-runner novice hurdle at Southwell (15.8f, good to soft, 2/5) 17 days ago, jumping impeccably and pushed out. Remains with potential and looks good enough to defy a penalty.

Bells Of Rutland¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: Alan Johns| T: Tim Vaughan

80/1

Well held sole outing in bumpers and was still in rear when belting the fifth and unseating his rider at Chepstow on hurdles debut 18 days ago.

Form: 5U

Henry Box Brown¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: Conor Ring⁽³⁾| T: Evan Williams

18/1

Bumper winner who stepped up on first run over hurdles when third of 10 in a novice at Stratford (16.3f, good to soft) 12 days ago. Entitled to progress further, but is possibly more one for handicaps in due course.

Form: 1-03

Hasty Parisian¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Harry Reed| T: M F Harris| OR: 109| D

7/2

Lightly-raced sort who posted a career best when winning 4-runner juvenile hurdle (13/8) at Sandown (16f) in March, ridden out. Struggling when hampered and unseating rider 3 out at Ascot 11 days ago. Needs to get back on track.

Forecasts

Boombawn (1/4), Silent Revolution (5/6), Hasty Parisian (7/2), Captain Broomfield (6/1), Light Em Up Nigel (6/1), Henry Box Brown (18/1), Bells Of Rutland (80/1)

BOOMBAWN was only third to Silent Revolution at Newbury back in November, but he really impressed with his jumping when making the most of a good opportunity at Southwell 17 days ago and looks up to defying a penalty. Light Em Up Nigel clearly isn't the easiest to train but he pulled a long way clear of the rest when runner-up at Exeter and can also be a big factor if turning up in similar form.
