Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Nathan Moscrop| T: I Jardine| OR: 102

16/1

Fair winning hurdler in Ireland for Gavin Cromwell. Yet to get competitive in 4 outings for current yard (distant fourth last time) but this represents a drop in class and he's worth a second look in the betting.

Form: 475804

Haribo Collonges^h1,t²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: B S Hughes| T: P Neville| OR: 100

11/2

Third on Market Rasen handicap debut (20.5f, good to soft) on Boxing Day (final start for Dr Richard Newland). Seemingly failed to stay 25f on recent Carlisle stable debut after a break. One to consider back at shorter with a hood added.

Form: 36-5536

Velasco^p,t²²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: Theo Gillard| T: S Corbett| OR: 96| D

10/1

Twice runner-up for Tom Lacey last season but his jumping became an increased issue and that problem has again been on show for this yard. Others are preferred.

Form: 46P707

Euchan Falls^p⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Danny McMenamin| T: R M Smith| OR: 94| BF| D

6/1

Has taken his form up a level since fitted with cheekpieces, landing handicaps over this trip at Musselburgh and Ayr this year. Last weekend's effort back at Ayr was disappointing, though.

Form: 261146

Pats Dream²²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Dylan Johnston⁽⁷⁾| T: R Dobbin| OR: 92

14/1

£55,000 purchase from Irish pointing field who has shown a bit in his qualifying runs over hurdles and rates a possible improver now handicapping over further.

Form: 43-469

Silver Vision¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-3| J: Alan Doyle⁽⁵⁾| T: W Coltherd| OR: 101

100/1

Won a weak juvenile at Musselburgh in November but big prices and well beaten on her completed start in handicaps this spring.

Form: 5P10U

Sanosuke^p,t1³⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Sean Quinlan| T: N W Alexander| OR: 88

13/2

Fairly useful on the Flat in Ireland but has proved rather hit-and-miss since switched to hurdles, beaten 24 lengths when second of 5 at Musselburgh latest. First-time tongue strap needs to have a positive effect.

Form: 357562

Nights Of Doyen^t⁶⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-9| J: Ross Chapman| T: Kate Leckenby| OR: 83

33/1

Modest ex-Irish maiden who offered little obvious encouragement in 2 outings for current yard at the start of 2023.

Form: 9987P6

The Bandit^h¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 10-9| J: J M Quinlan| T: N B King| OR: 83| D

15/2

Much improved effort over hurdles when winning 13-runner handicap at Southwell (20.5f, soft) 16 days ago. Will be very competitive off his revised mark if showing up in similar form.

Form: 3P95P1

Ginger Pointe⁴⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-8| J: Emma Smith-Chaston⁽³⁾| T: K Scott| OR: 82

10/1

Maiden Irish pointer who has shown just modest form at best over hurdles thus far, although latest 9 lengths fifth over 2m at Ayr was a bit more encouraging and he's been eased another 3 lb since. Back up in trip.

Form: 234505

Eden Mill^t⁴⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-5| J: S Bowen| T: D W Whillans| OR: 79

3/1

Modest maiden but he does arrive on the back of placed efforts at Ayr (2m) and Carlisle (19f). Considered under Sean Bowen.

Form: 5-05623

Dr Shirocco^t²⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 10-4| J: P W Wadge⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss S E Forster| OR: 78

9/1

Remains a maiden after 22 runs but has finished runner-up 3 times over fences at Mussleburgh this winter. Creditable fourth back hurdling at Carlisle (19f) latest, although the reopposing Balranald was ahead in second.

Form: 425224

Forecasts

Eden Mill (3/1), Balranald (5/1), Haribo Collonges (11/2), Euchan Falls (6/1), Sanosuke (13/2), The Bandit (15/2), Dr Shirocco (9/1), Ginger Pointe (10/1), Velasco (10/1), Rory And Me (12/1), Pats Dream (14/1), Minella Youngy (16/1), Nights Of Doyen (33/1), Silver Vision (100/1)

In a race where few arrive with compelling claims the suggestion is HARIBO COLLONGES who seemed to have his stamina stretched over 25f at Carlisle last time and his Market Rasen third prior to that is solid form in the context of this race. The Bandit pieced it all together at Southwell last time and is second choice ahead of Rory And Me, who might have needed the outing last time and has Brian Hughes up. Rose Dobbin's Pats Dream is a potential improver in handicaps.
