Selected odds by:

Big Blue Moon⁴^{(ex 7)}

Age: 6| Weight: 12-5| J: Cameron Iles⁽⁸⁾| T: T Lacey| OR: 98

8/11

Much improved when winning 12-runner handicap hurdle at Carlisle (17f, soft) 4 days ago, comfortably. 7 lb penalty to carry now but holds strong claims nonetheless.

Form: 89331

Jaunty Viking^t¹⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 12-1| J: Ellis Collier⁽³⁾| T: B Eckley| OR: 101

9/1

Stepped up on belated return effort when creditable fifth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Ffos Las (20f, good to soft) 18 days ago, travelling as well as any. Enters calculations off 2 lb lower mark.

Form: 325P-75

Henry Box Brown⁵²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-13| J: Ben Bromley| T: Evan Williams| OR: 99| D

6/1

Bumper winner on debut/sole start in Ireland and showed improved form when opening his account over hurdles in Uttoxeter handicap (15.8f) in December. However, disappointed at Plumpton since and others more convincing.

Form: 052717

Karakoram^p,t¹⁰^{(ex 7)}

Age: 8| Weight: 11-9| J: Tristan Durrell| T: G Harris| OR: 88| CD

8/1

Consistent performer who got back to winning ways in 16-runner handicap hurdle (15/2) at Taunton (23.9f, soft) 10 days ago, always holding on. Things will be tougher under a 7 lb penalty but he must be respected.

Form: 135441

Brown Bullet^h²^{(ex 7)}

Age: 8| Weight: 11-10| J: Caoilin Quinn| T: A Irvine| OR: 89| D

9/2

Back on the scoreboard in 7-runner handicap hurdle at Plumpton (15.9f, soft) 2 days ago. Remains well treated, despite a 7 lb penalty, and is a big player.

Form: 5P3731

Ring The Moon^t⁸⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 10-13| J: Ned Fox| T: Evan Williams| OR: 85| D

33/1

Posted best effort this term when third at Ludlow (15.8f) in November but failed to build on that at Leicester since and percentage call is to look elsewhere.

Form: 11-0P3P

Loudspeaker²²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Bradley Harris| T: J W Mullins| OR: 76

50/1

Fair maiden on Flat (stays 1½m) and sold from Michael Bell 50,000 gns in July. Showed ability in novices in recent weeks and could have more to offer now handicapping, albeit he is 8 lb wrong at the weights here.

Form: 034

Forecasts

Big Blue Moon (8/11), Brown Bullet (9/2), Henry Box Brown (6/1), Karakoram (8/1), Jaunty Viking (9/1), Ring The Moon (33/1), Loudspeaker (50/1), Cards Are Dealt (50/1)

BROWN BULLET capitalised on a falling mark under this pilot at Plumpton 2 days ago and still looks on a workable mark. She can go in again. Big Blue Moon and Karakoram also arrive on the back of recent victories and rate the principal dangers.
