4/7

Fairly useful hurdler who scored at Leicester in February. Solid fifth of 16 in handicap hurdle (4/1) at Sandown (19.8f, soft) 29 days ago when not ideally placed. The one to beat back in novice company.

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: David Noonan| T: D Pipe| OR: 110| D

50/1

Scored 3 times earlier this term but has largely disappointed since and only sixth of 9 in minor chase at Sandown (24.2f, soft) 33 days ago. Back over hurdles with lots to prove.

Storminhome⁷²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Kielan Woods| T: B Pauling| OR: 120

16/5

Winning Irish pointer who got off the mark in this sphere in 10-runner novice hurdle at Doncaster (19.4f, good) 72 days ago. Looks to have more to offer so he's well in the mix.

Form: 51-231

The Same¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Fergus Gregory| T: O Murphy

4/1

Easily off mark in Irish points in October and made a winning start over hurdles in 8-runner novice at Market Rasen (20.6f, heavy) 19 days ago, going with enthusiasm. Open to improvement. Very much considered.

Form: 6F-11

Mumbles⁸⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams

50/1

Mahler gelding who showed promise when fourth over 2m4f here in November. Unsuited by drop in trip when fifth at Exeter since and remains capable of better.

Form: 45

Circus Moon^t⁴⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Nick Scholfield| T: A Watson

200/1

20/1 and tongue strap on, eighth of 12 in bumper at Warwick (16f, good to soft) on NH debut 44 days ago. Makes hurdles debut up in trip with more required.

Form: 8

Forecasts

Cuthbert Dibble (4/7), Storminhome (16/5), The Same (4/1), Red Happy (50/1), Mumbles (50/1), Good Friday Fairy (100/1), Circus Moon (200/1)

A few with potential but CUTHBERT DIBBLE possesses the best form on offer and also has experience on his side so looks the way to go here. Olly Murphy's The Same went in at the first time of asking over hurdles at Market Rasen and is feared most with improvement very much in the pipelines, ahead of Doncaster-scorer Storminhome.
