Rebel Intentions^t³⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Joe Anderson⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss E C Lavelle| OR: 95WS

11/1

Hinted at promise in bumpers and showed fair form over hurdles last season. Hinted at a revival when seventh at Ascot last time so not ruled out now after a wind op.

Form: 3/6PP47-

Doyen For Money^t¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-13| J: Aidan Coleman| T: A J Honeyball| OR: 94

11/4

Promising sort who got off the mark fitted with a tongue strap in 11-runner handicap hurdle at Plumpton (20.5f, soft) 17 days ago. Has more to offer. Big shout despite a 4 lb rise in the weights.

Form: 1/54661-

Noah's Light¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-13| J: Adam Wedge| T: Mrs R Ford| OR: 94

40/1

Lightly-raced ex-Irish winner over hurdles but litltle promise in four runs for his current yard, having breathing surgery before well-held seventh here last time. Has plenty to prove.

Form: 31P/PP7-

Celtic Fortune⁹²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-13| J: H Cobden| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 94

13/2

Lightly-raced maiden who came in only ninth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Taunton 92 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Form: 4/57B99-

Electric Annie^p,t²⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-11| J: Stan Sheppard| T: R Walford| OR: 92

12/1

Dual hurdles winner for Jack Barber in 2021/22. Yet to scale same heights for present yard, though, running poorly in cheekpieces/tongue tie at Exeter latest.

Form: 2P3435-

Forest Jump⁷²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: Rex Dingle| T: C Gordon| OR: 89

5/1

Fair performer in bumpers and left previous hurdles exploits in his wake when third at Plumpton in February. This return to further rates a plus on that evidence. Shortlisted.

Form: 2/PU583-

Sir Rock⁵³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: Tom Cannon| T: T Lawes| OR: 89

9/1

Irish point winner but he offered little on his yard/handicap debut when pulled up over 2m3f here 53 days ago. Plenty more is required.

Form: 07B12P-

Doyen Queen^t¹³

Age: 9| Weight: 11-5| J: Nick Scholfield| T: P Henderson| OR: 86

16/1

Dual point winner who returned from 16 months off with an encouraging fourth of 9 in novice hurdle at Warwick (19f, good to soft) 13 days ago. Needs considering.

Form: 42542/4-

Bolberry Down^p¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: Charlie Hammond| T: K Jewell| OR: 79

14/1

Pulled up in 3 handicap hurdles but fared better on the back of breathing surgery (also first-time cheekpieces) when runner-up in handicap here 19 days ago. Needs to back it up.

Form: 43PPP2-

Coconut Twist^h¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Harry Reed| T: B Barr| OR: 79

14/1

Unplaced in points and just poor form to date in this sphere, only 11th in handicap hurdle at Exeter (18.5f) 19 days ago. Hard to warm to.

Form: 63P640-

Hesbehindyou^p⁷²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-7| J: N F Houlihan⁽³⁾| T: A Irvine| OR: 74

11/1

Still a maiden and he came in a below form seventh of 13 in handicap hurdle at Plumpton (25f) 72 days ago. Others appeal more.

Form: 742P37-

Abbeyhill^t³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-4| J: Sam Twiston Davies| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 71

14/1

Winning pointer but well beaten in bumper/over hurdles. It's easy to look elsewhere.

Form: 1/00864-

Forecasts

Doyen For Money (11/4), Forest Jump (5/1), Celtic Fortune (13/2), Sir Rock (9/1), Hesbehindyou (11/1), Rebel Intentions (11/1), Electric Annie (12/1), Coconut Twist (14/1), Abbeyhill (14/1), Bolberry Down (14/1), Doyen Queen (16/1), Noah's Light (40/1)

DOYEN FOR MONEY showed the benefit of a tongue tie when opening his account at Plumpton and can make light of a 4 lb weight rise in a handicap where plenty arrive with a question mark against them. Rebel Intentions took a step back in the right direction when seventh at Ascot last time and is feared most, with Forest Jump also in the mix now his stamina is drawn out more.
