Age: 11| Weight: 12-2| J: Miss Eleanor Williams⁽⁷⁾| T: Evan Williams| OR: 122| CD

6/1

Better known as a thorough stayer over fences (won Veterans' Series Final at Sandown last season). Had pipe-opener over hurdles here last season and possible that this is the case again here, though current mark in this sphere looks workable.

Paricolor^b,t¹⁸⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 12-2| J: Philip Armson⁽³⁾| T: D Pipe| OR: 122| BF

6/1

Nine wins from 28 NH runs, most recently at Bangor in December. Back to last winning mark in this sphere and was largely consistent last term, so isn't fully discounted.

Form: 2145-3P

Phantom Getaway²³¹

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: C Gethings| T: K Bailey & M Nicholls| OR: 120| D

11/8

Runner-up all 3 starts over hurdles, already looking a thorough stayer. Opening mark looks fair and conditions should play to his strengths, so he rates a leading player.

Form: 61/5222-

Helios Allen⁹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: David Noonan| T: Mrs J Williams| OR: 112

4/1

Won at Chepstow last term but made an unpromising start for this yard when last at Clairefontaine in August, jumping deliberately in the main. Bit to prove after that showing.

Form: 2013P-0

Arcade Attraction^t³⁶⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 10-10| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams| OR: 102| BF| C

7/1

Won here (over fences) and at Ludlow in spring 2021 and has had a 12-month absence after returning lame on his most recent start. Best watched back over hurdles.

Form: U/13325-

Holdbacktheriver⁵¹⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 10-2| J: Isabel Williams⁽³⁾| T: Evan Williams| OR: 92| D

12/1

One-time fairly useful chaser but regressive when last seen 17 months ago and the switch back to hurdling will need to spark a revival if he is to get involved.

Form: FP5/6P8-

Forecasts

Phantom Getaway (11/8), Helios Allen (4/1), Colonel Manderson (4/1), Paricolor (6/1), Prime Venture (6/1), Arcade Attraction (7/1), Holdbacktheriver (12/1)

PHANTOM GETAWAY doesn't do much quickly, but Kim Bailey's 5-y-o showed a fairly useful level of ability in 3 novice hurdle starts last term and looks on a fair opening mark, so can make a winning handicap debut with conditions likely to suit. Colonel Manderson and Paricolor can complete the placings.
