Enthused^p¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Alex Chadwick⁽⁷⁾| T: James Owen| OR: 104

7/1

Fairly useful handicapper on Flat who offered more than previously over hurdles when second in 7-runner Fakenham maiden (2m) 18 days ago. That was a thin race however, and task now is to build on that switched to handicaps.

Form: 5P2

Privatory³⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Caoilin Quinn⁽⁵⁾| T: G & J Moore| OR: 104| D

3/1

Winner on debut for the yard in a Sandown novice last March. Found out under a double penalty at Stratford next time and has been disappointing in handicaps since. Mark has tumbled as a result and comes here with yard in good order so not dismissed down markedly in grade.

Form: 120-68F

Forever Des Long⁵²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-13| J: Jack Martin⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss C Dyson| OR: 103

80/1

Market Rasen winner for Philip Hobbs 11 months ago but ended his time with that yard on a low note and well held both starts for present connections this winter.

Form: 612-540

Ambassador^p¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: Harry Atkins⁽¹⁰⁾| T: M Keighley| OR: 100| D

28/1

Fairly useful at best for Dan Skelton in 2021 but hasn't offered much on Flat/over hurdles for present yard following a lengthy absence.

Form: 2286-P0

Gold Souk^t²³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Daniel Sansom⁽³⁾| T: D Steele| OR: 96| C| D

20/1

Ran poorly on each of his last 3 starts over hurdles and fared no better returned to the level when last of 10 at Kempton (2m) 23 days ago.

Form: 511-7PP

Sherborne^p²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: Brendan Powell| T: J Tizzard| OR: 95| CD

8/1

C&D novice hurdle winner who has yet to scale same heights in handicaps, including over fences more recently. Comes here operating from career-low mark if return to timber has positive effect.

Form: 88U-P46

Dazzling Dove^t1²³³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: James Bowen| T: Billy Aprahamian| OR: 94

50/1

Maiden in Ireland who ran best race when fourth in mares' handicap at Fairyhouse (2m) in April. Well held next 2 starts so market may prove best guide on back of a break now starting out for new yard.

Form: 9644-0P

Often Overlooked^t²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: Harry Kimber⁽³⁾| T: J Tizzard| OR: 93

14/1

Well held only start in bumpers but glimmer of promise over hurdles, latterly when third on qualifying run at Plumpton (15.9f) 21 days ago. Switch to handicaps a plus but progress required from opening mark.

Form: 0-883

Tommy Dillion²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: N F Houlihan⁽³⁾| T: R Rowe| OR: 90| CD

3/1

Career-best effort when landing a C&D handicap in December and shaped as if still in good form when fourth at Plumpton (15.9f) next time, not clear run around 3 out and not unduly punished. Can give another good account.

Form: 34-8714

Good Time Ahead²⁶⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 10-11| J: Tom Cannon| T: J & S Best| OR: 87

11/1

Fairly useful Flat winner who ran well to be placed over hurdles at Fontwell (17.7f) 12 months ago. Not seen to best effect next 2 starts during the spring and market should prove a useful guide back from 8 months off.

Form: 46/83-64

Pleasure Garden¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-8| J: M Goldstein| T: K Jewell| OR: 84| D

11/2

Fair 4-time winner at up to 2m on the Flat for Sir Mark Prescott but well beaten in trio of juvenile/novice hurdles for present yard. Arrives fit from Flat so worth monitoring in betting for clues now handicapping in this sphere.

Form: P/4-5

Superstylin³⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-6| J: M G Nolan| T: Miss S Smith| OR: 82

12/1

Down the field both starts in bumpers (won Irish point in between) and only minor promise on second completed start in maiden/novice hurdles. Should hold more chance now handicapping at least.

Form: B1-60P7

Forecasts

Privatory (3/1), Tommy Dillion (3/1), Pleasure Garden (11/2), Enthused (7/1), Playtogetaway (15/2), Sherborne (8/1), Good Time Ahead (11/1), Superstylin (12/1), Often Overlooked (14/1), Gold Souk (20/1), Ambassador (28/1), Dazzling Dove (50/1), Cards Are Dealt (66/1), Forever Des Long (80/1)

PRIVATORY has yet to match the form he showed in novice company in handicaps but his mark reflects that and, eased markedly in grade, he could just be worth chancing with his yard in good form. Handicap debutant Playtogetaway is also worth a second look, along with Tommy Dillon and Pleasure Garden.
