Selected odds by:

Heisenberg⁶⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 12-1| J: Conor Ring| T: S-J Davies| OR: 106

50/1

Showed ability when fourth of 16 on hurdles debut for Noel Meade at Navan in December, but poor efforts on his next two starts and best watched on debut for new yard.

Form: 0/40P-

Cremant^p,t¹⁶⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: Thomas Doggrell⁽⁶⁾| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 105

17/2

Gained sole success under Rules off this mark in a handicap hurdle at Stratford in November 2020. More good efforts than bad ones since and should be in the mix if ready to roll following five-month break.

Form: 523227-

River Legend⁴⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Lorcan Williams| T: D Skelton| OR: 105| BF

3/1

Bettered previous efforts on the back of a wind op when third in 2m Chepstow novice in February. Stamina stretched upped to 23.3f on handicap debut here next time and and should make his presence felt back down in trip.

Form: 3/0734-

One Touch¹²³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-13| J: Luca Morgan⁽³⁾| T: B Pauling| OR: 104

9/1

Largely campaigned over fences with little success since landing a Doncaster novice hurdle in December 2019. No show back in this sphere when last seen in January and it's easy enough to look elsewhere.

Form: UP/46P0-

Watergrange Jack⁴³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Finn Lambert⁽⁵⁾| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 103

9/2

Irish bumper winner who stepped up on his low-key British debut when runner-up at Fontwell in January. Has failed to build on that since, though, and needs to get back on track. Cremant is presumably the stable No 1.

Form: 318240-

Beach Break^b³⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-11| J: Theo Gillard⁽³⁾| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 102| D

10/1

Five-time hurdles winner, but you have to go back to October 2020 for when he last hit the target and others make more appeal on this occasion.

Form: 654577-

Mexican Boy^t³⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Fergus Gregory⁽³⁾| T: O Murphy| OR: 100

10/1

Fair bumper performer who has only shown modest form to date in this sphere and he was pulled up when tried in a hood (dispensed with here) at Stratford (18.7f, good to soft) last month.

Form: 55324P-

If I Say^p1,t1²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-10| J: Lily Pinchin⁽³⁾| T: C E Longsdon| OR: 87

14/1

Point winner who improved when second in a Hereford novice in November. Still in contention when falling 3 out on handicap bow next time, but safely held back from a break at Ludlow and now tried in cheekpieces and a tongue strap.

Form: 5542F9-

Soul Icon^h¹⁹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-9| J: Harry Kimber⁽³⁾| T: Kieran Burke| OR: 86| BF| D

3/1

Has proved a different proposition since switched to handicaps, making all comfortably at Huntingdon and Exeter in October prior to going close at Taunton (19f, good to firm). Leading claims if fully tuned-up following a break.

Form: U4/4112-

Robeam^p³⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-5| J: Lewis Stones| T: M Mullineaux| OR: 82

40/1

Has offered little in four starts over hurdles for current yard and he's likely to come up short once again.

Form: 040760-

Forecasts

Soul Icon (3/1), River Legend (3/1), Watergrange Jack (9/2), Cremant (17/2), One Touch (9/1), Mexican Boy (10/1), Beach Break (10/1), If I Say (14/1), Robeam (40/1), Heisenberg (50/1)

Preference is for RIVER LEGEND, who didn't appear to get home upped to 23.3f on his handicap debut here last month and this trip could prove to be just the ticket. Dan Skelton's charge showed promise in a Chepstow novice on his penultimate start and this mark should be within his reach. Soul Icon has sprouted wings since switched to handicaps and looks sure to be on the premises, while Cremant also enters calculations.
