Blue Fin²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Sean Quinlan| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 118

11/8

Runner-up on only start in bumpers and opened his account at the third time of asking over hurdles in 8-runner novice at Newcastle (16.9f) in February. Turned in a bit of a lacklustre effort under a penalty at Uttoxeter but still a major player in an uncompetitive race.

Form: 3-23313

Rambo T⁴⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Fergus Gregory| T: O Murphy| OR: 120

4/6

Fairly useful bumper winner who confirmed previous promise upped in trip when off the mark in 13-runner novice at Chepstow (19.4f) 48 days ago, albeit fortunate on the day. Has obvious claims of following up.

Form: 21-3221

Bilboa River⁴⁵²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: Mr Solomon Wood⁽⁷⁾| T: H McMahon| OR: 77

200/1

Ex-pointer who hasn't offered much under Rules. Off 15 months. First run for yard after leaving Richard Price.

Longstone Cowboy^h²¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: Craig Nichol| T: H Burns| OR: 102

40/1

Little impact between the flags but much more like it fitted with a hood when runner-up on second hurdles outing at Hexham (20.1f) in September. Ran to a similar level at Kelso next time but has his work cut out up against a fairly useful pair on his return.

Form: 4F6-323

It's Maisy⁵⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Ross Chapman| T: J Parkinson & S Smith

16/1

Fair form standout effort in bumpers but was well held on C&D hurdling debut in February and promises to be of little interest this side of handicaps.

Forecasts

Rambo T (4/6), Blue Fin (11/8), It's Maisy (16/1), Longstone Cowboy (40/1), Bilboa River (200/1)

A likely match between BLUE FIN and Rambo T. The former was a shade underwhelming at Uttoxeter last time, but he'd previously been going the right way and can get back to winning ways in an uncompetitive event.
