Had been holding form well before producing best effort back down in trip when runner-up in handicap at Sedgefield (16.8f) last month. Remains relatively lightly raced and can go one better.

Ensel Du Perche⁸³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-13| J: Lorcan Williams| T: Mrs Stella Barclay| OR: 93

25/1

Fair maiden hurdler for Gavin Cromwell in Ireland. Low-key start for this yard but, dropping in the weights, there had been more promising signs prior to being pulled up last time, Back down in trip.

Professor Calculus²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-8| J: Tom Buckley| T: N J Hawke| OR: 94

22/1

Produced one standout effort on the Flat for Richard Hannon. Showed an aptitude for hurdling on his debut in this sphere but hasn't gone on from that effort, including on handicap bow latest start.

Form: 3576-

Robert Johnson¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-8| J: Peter Coleman⁽¹⁰⁾| T: R Menzies| OR: 94

11/2

Modest maiden on the Flat. Ran to a similar level in 2 starts over hurdles for current yard following 5 months off, in novice/maiden at Sedgefield. Could improve now making handicap hurdle debut.

Form: 34-

Les's Legacy¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: D B Hurst⁽⁸⁾| T: S Corbett| OR: 88

10/1

Clear of rest when second of 11 in handicap hurdle at Newcastle (16.2f) in December. Likely to have filled the same position at Perth last time before unseating rider 2 out. More needed.

Form: 442P7U-

Bashful^t1⁴²

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: Fergus Gregory| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 93

12/1

Fairly useful Flat winner for Andrew Balding, but hasn't made much impression in 3 starts over hurdles so far. Tongue strap on 1st time as he makes handicap hurdle debut. Unexposed so could do better.

Form: P44-

Gerard Mentor^p,t²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: K Brogan| T: K Bailey & M Nicholls| OR: 87

17/2

Better signs over hurdles of late as he has finished placed on his last 4 starts, respectable third at Taunton (16.5f) on latest outing. Can give his running but more needed for win purposes.

Form: P52233-

Cordey Dancer¹⁷⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Liam Harrison⁽³⁾| T: F O'Brien| OR: 85

20/1

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: Thomas Willmott| T: T Collier| OR: 77

11/1

Lightly-raced maiden hurdler. Ran creditably (in 1st time tongue tie) on handicap debut when fourth of 14 at Southwell (15.8f) 14 days ago. Might find others stronger.

Form: 66FP4-

Encashment¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-8| J: Lily Pinchin| T: B Pauling| OR: 74

14/1

Had finished down the field in 3 starts over hurdles for current yard but showed first form in this sphere when third of 14 in handicap at Southwell (15.8f) 14 days ago. A sharp 2m could suit here.

Form: 0083-

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: Jack Hogan⁽⁷⁾| T: M E Sowersby| OR: 68

50/1

WILLIAM CODY produced a career best when runner-up at Sedgefield dropped back in distance, bumping into one who has gone on to follow up. The 5-y-o remains relatively lightly raced so he can improve again to get off the mark this time around. There are numerous dangers in the line-up, but handicap-debutants Robert Johnson and Bashful are the pair who are feared most.
