Coconut Tudor⁵²

Age: 7| Weight: 12-1| J: Sean Quinlan| T: J Mackie| OR: 101WS

33/1

Showed fair form over hurdles in Ireland last spring but has struggled this term, soon done with from 3 out on debut for this yard at Huntingdon 7 weeks ago. Has had a wind op.

Form: 2-P98PP

Marajman^p,t¹³

Age: 9| Weight: 11-13| J: R T Dunne| T: C & A Pogson| OR: 99| CD

9/2

C&D winner in May and back in good form the last twice. Merits consideration back hurdling from reduced mark.

Form: 68P222

Lou Trek^h,t³²¹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-7| J: S Bowen| T: G Hanmer| OR: 93

28/1

Winning pointer who was a good second in 2m novice hurdle at Hexham last April. Bled again just 8 days later at Sedgefield though and bit to prove on return for all his mark has dipped further.

Form: 090/P2P-

Claras Soldier^t1²³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: Liam Harrison⁽³⁾| T: F O'Brien| OR: 92

18/1

Down the field in bumpers and novice/maiden hurdles. Could fare a lot better now handicapping upped in trip/fitted with a tongue tie. One to keep an eye on.

Form: 90777

Charging Point^t²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Patrick Cowley⁽³⁾| T: L Morgan| OR: 91

10/3

Usually runs here and ran his best race in this sphere with a tongue tie reapplied for handicap debut when third over C&D 4 weeks ago. Could last longer this time and one to consider.

Form: 249203

Rocket Robbo^p1¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Lewis Stones⁽⁵⁾| T: J Candlish| OR: 90

16/1

Easy to back and never a threat behind Doors Breaker on recent handicap debut at Doncaster. Cheekpieces go on now and he should stay this far.

Form: 38-0046

Rebel Mc⁶⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: Craig Nichol| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 85

25/1

Little impact in novice hurdles. Could do better now handicapping.

Form: 4F-P96

Raqisa^t¹³³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-10| J: J M Quinlan| T: Miss A Murphy| OR: 82

33/1

Well held in 3 runs over hurdles last term. Ran well on the level in October and could do better now handicapping in this sphere up in trip.

Form: 776-

Bushmill Boy¹⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 10-8| J: Joshua Thompson⁽⁷⁾| T: D Thompson| OR: 80

7/1

Yet to score over hurdles but not in bad heart, in the process of running creditably under this rider when departing at the last at Wetherby 19 days ago.

Form: 67454F

Doors Breaker^t¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-7| J: Thomas Dowson| T: T Collier| OR: 79

4/1

Returned to form from out of the blue to get off the mark in similar handicap at Doncaster recently, seeming suited by the switch to front-running tactics and foiling a big gamble on the second. Up just 4 lb and could go well again.

Form: 93F891

Shiyrvann³⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-7| J: C Gethings| T: S Edmunds| OR: 79

9/1

Three-time winner on the Flat in France and shaped as if finding 2m at Doncaster inadequate on handicap debut 5 weeks ago. This longer trip will suit and he may yet have more to offer.

Form: 7750

Classic Tune^t⁹⁷

Age: 13| Weight: 10-6| J: Cillin Leonard⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss C Dyson| OR: 78| CD

33/1

Last win came in a C&D handicap in December 2020. May have needed his November return here but off again since and probably vulnerable to younger improvers.

Form: 66308-7

Infiniti¹³⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 10-5| J: Lee Edwards| T: K Frost| OR: 77

17/2

40/1 winner of a similar event at Market Rasen in May and prolific on the Flat in the meantime. Wouldn't dismiss on first run for 4 months.

Form: 3P97-15

Bluebella¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-5| J: Stan Sheppard| T: T Lacey| OR: 77

28/1

Yard have done well with handicap debutants this term but weak in the betting and well held behind Doors Breaker at Doncaster back from 4 months off a fortnight ago. Dropped 4 lb.

Form: 69P0

Locallink^t⁶⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 10-3| J: Chris Ward⁽³⁾| T: Steph Hollinshead| OR: 75

25/1

Won at Carlisle on handicap debut in April 2021 but struggled last season and no impact back from 9 months off at Uttoxeter on New Year's Eve.

Form: 69658-0

Passing Secrets^p,t⁴⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-2| J: Mitchell Bastyan| T: T R Gretton| OR: 71

66/1

Runner-up 4 times over fences last season but heavy defeats all 4 starts this term. Goes back hurdling now.

Form: F2-5PP8

Forecasts

Charging Point (10/3), Doors Breaker (4/1), Marajman (9/2), Bushmill Boy (7/1), Infiniti (17/2), Shiyrvann (9/1), Rocket Robbo (16/1), Claras Soldier (18/1), Rebel Mc (25/1), Locallink (25/1), Bluebella (28/1), Lou Trek (28/1), Coconut Tudor (33/1), Raqisa (33/1), Classic Tune (33/1), Passing Secrets (66/1)

CHARGING POINT showed that there is a race in him from his current mark when third here 4 weeks ago and could be the way to go. Marajman, Claras Soldier and Shiyrvann are among the dangers in a competitive handicap.
