Bobo Mac^p¹⁴

Age: 11| Weight: 12-1| J: Caoilin Quinn⁽³⁾| T: T Symonds| OR: 111

4/1

Useful staying chaser at his peak. Not the force of old but his reappearance second in a Fontwell handicap hurdle shows he's down to a mark he can be very competitive from. Stable won this race last year.

Form: 2U576-2

Tel'art^p,t¹⁹⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: Conor Ring| T: R L Llewellyn| OR: 110WS

28/1

Fair winner at 3¼m over hurdles for Ben Pauling and posted some respectable efforts in hunter chases for this yard in the spring. Has had wind surgery ahead of this return to hurdles after 6 months off.

Form: 2533-43

Lanspark²¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-13| J: Freddie Gingell⁽⁷⁾| T: J Tizzard| OR: 109| CD

5/2

C&D winner in January and followed up at Plumpton 4 weeks later (both soft ground). Below form under drier conditions on final 2 starts but he's capable of bouncing back on his return to action.

Form: PP1145-

Amadorio²³⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: Jack Hogan⁽⁶⁾| T: F O'Brien| OR: 105

10/3

Showed fair form in France in 2019 but fell a couple of times over there and, back from a long absence, his jumping was scrappy when third in a novice at Uttoxeter in March. Switches to handicap company on his reappearance. One to monitor closely in the betting.

Form: 33FF/3-

Sam's The Man^p1³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: Fergus Gillard| T: Katy Price| OR: 102

7/2

Showed a bit of promise in maiden/novice events last term but pulled up on his Worcester handicap debut/reappearance last month. Cheekpieces reached for after that.

Form: 04355-P

Looks Like Power^t²⁸¹

Age: 12| Weight: 11-6| J: Joe Anderson⁽³⁾| T: Mrs D A Hamer| OR: 102| CD

22/1

Handicap hurdle winner in early-2021. Mixed record since and possibly best watched on this return to action.

Form: 8/46673-

Holdbacktheriver¹²

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

8/1

One-time fairly useful chaser. Not the force of old but showed some ability remains after a long absence when second in a 3m Ffos Las handicap hurdle 12 days ago. Claims if he can build on that.

Form: P5/6P8-2

Forecasts

Lanspark (5/2), Amadorio (10/3), Sam's The Man (7/2), Bobo Mac (4/1), Holdbacktheriver (8/1), Looks Like Power (22/1), Tel'art (28/1)

Tom Symonds won this race last year and may be able to repeat the feat with BOBO MAC who made a sound return to action when runner-up at Fontwell a couple of weeks ago. Lanspark will be a threat if back to the form which saw him win over C&D at the start of the year. A market move for Fergal O'Brien handicap newcomer Amadorio would also bring him into the reckoning.
