Faint Hope^t²⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 11-12| J: Joe Anderson⁽⁷⁾| T: G Harris| OR: 115

28/1

Veteran who landed Kempton handicap in May. Probaby needed run after 6-month break at Ludlow last time but doesn't look the most obviously well-treated here.

Petty Cash⁴³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: T J O'Brien| T: H D Daly| OR: 114

10/3

Off the mark at Ffos Las in February and proved even better when following up at Huntingdon last month. Longer trip will suit and he likely has further improvement to come, so looks the one to beat.

Tango Tara⁵¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: H Cobden| T: P F Nicholls| OR: 113

11/4

Fair form in a pair of novice hurdles, though arguably disappointing he couldn't get the job done when left in front at last over C&D on his most recent outing. Interesting on handicap debut.

Form: 1-23

Bucko's Boy^t1¹¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: G Sheehan| T: Jamie Snowden| OR: 111

11/2

Won a Fakenham maiden in May but was below his best handicapping in the winter. Looks on a fair mark if a near 4-moth break sparks a resurgence.

Form: F-12437

Jaunty Viking^t⁵¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: Miss Thomosina Eyston⁽⁷⁾| T: B Eckley| OR: 109

11/1

Off the mark in 2¾m Ffos Las handicap last summer and improved in defeat when placed next 3 starts. Below best last time but he had been busy and easy to see him back to form after break

Form: 313325

Sheldon¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: J W Mullins| OR: 107

3/1

Didn't get home over 3m at Newbury last time but travelled well and he's on a lenient mark if able to recapture the pick of his early-season form.

Form: 333657

Loved Out¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams| OR: 102

50/1

Placed first 2 starts in novice hurdles after joining this yard from Thomas Mullins but had made no impact in pair of handicaps last twice and now has something to prove.

Form: 232277

Beau Haze¹¹

Age: 9| Weight: 10-4| J: Conor Ring⁽³⁾| T: P C Dando| OR: 93| BF| CD

17/2

Scored over C&D in March and ran to a similar level when second at Ffos Ls 11 days ago. More depth to this race but he's clearly in good heart and gets chunks of weight from his opposition.

Forecasts

Tango Tara (11/4), Sheldon (3/1), Petty Cash (10/3), Bucko's Boy (11/2), Beau Haze (17/2), Jaunty Viking (11/1), Ladykiller (12/1), Faint Hope (28/1), Loved Out (50/1)

We've likely not yet seen the best of PETTY CASH, who is taken to continue his progress and land the hat-trick here over the longest trip he's faced to date. Handicap-debutant Tango Tara remains open to improvement and can pose the chief threat ahead of Jaunty Viking.
