Selected odds by:
Losing run is mounting up and well below par when a remote fourth at Warwick/Ffos Las last 2 starts. Headgear now given a whirl.
|
Modest maiden hurdler who has bettered that level over fences, winning handicap chases at Hereford and Market Rasen in early-2022. Mixed record this campaign, only fourth of 7 in handicap chase at Plumpton (25.7f, soft, 7/2) 38 days ago.
|
Back-to-form second of 15 in handicap chase at Chepstow (23.6f, soft). Got no further than the second at Newton Abbot next time but ran poorly at Stratford since.
|
Had been struggling for form over hurdles but stopped the slide with a trio of in-the-frame efforts over fences. However, let down by jumping when running poorly at Ffos Las when last seen in October.
|
Temperamental sort who continues out of sorts, tongue strap on for 1st time when pulled up back over hurdles at Lingfield (23f, good) 73 days ago.
|
Bounced back to her best (from 6 lb out of the weights) to get off the mark for the season at Exeter 17 days ago. Big shout with a repeat racing off 6 lb higher.
|
Very lightly raced for Gary Moore and caused a major upset starting out for Paddy Butler when landing a Plumpton handicap hurdle in November. Below that level since, though, and including over fences.
|
By far his best effort of the season when second of 14 in handicap chase at Chepstow in February. Has a patchy overall record, though, so no surprise he wasn't in anything like the same form back there 4 weeks later.
|
Dual winner at Exeter last season and returned to form when third of 9 in handicap at same course (24.2f, soft) last month. Backed that up when placed again at Fontwell but more needed to resume winning ways.
|
Failed to progress over hurdles but stepped up on previous chasing efforts when fourth at Chepstow. Similar form when off the mark at Newton Abbot 3 weeks ago, albeit in fortunate fashion (left clear 2 out). Remains unexposed.
|
Maiden hurdler but has taken well to chasing, runner-up at Huntingdon last 2 starts. Should be in the mix again with headgear re-fitted.
|
Made a winning return from another absence at Fakenham (3m) in November but in and out since. Opposable from out of the handicap.
|
Ran his best race for a while when 6 lengths third of 14 at Chepstow but failed to back that up at Huntingdon since. Up against it from out of the handicap.
|
Of little account.

Forecasts
Kings Krackertara (4/1), Kingsmill Gin (11/2), Doyens De Ante (6/1), Wind Tor (13/2), Galop Du Bosc (7/1), Bignorm (9/1), Felton Bellevue (12/1), Eceparti (12/1), Tudors Treasure (14/1), El Hageb Rose (18/1), Vetoncall (20/1), Baily Gorse (20/1), Versatility (33/1), Corrany (33/1), Botus Fleming (50/1)
KINGSMILL GIN looked back to her very best when scoring at Exeter 17 days ago, pulling clear with the runner-up, and a repeat performance should see her go very close. Doyens de Ante should be on the premises again, with the unexposed Kings Krackertara another to consider.
