Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Aaron Anderson| T: R Menzies| OR: 97

12/1

Displayed a fair level of ability in Irish maiden hurdles for Ross O'Sullivan. Below that level in 2 outings for new yard during the winter but may fare better now handicapping after a short break. Also has cheekpieces added.

Form:

Uncle Arthur^h³⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-10| J: Finn Lambert⁽³⁾| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 93

6/1

Bumper winner lsat summer. Has disappointingly failed to better poor form over hurdles but it's still fairly early days.

Form:

Kingfast^p²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-9| J: Jack Hogan⁽³⁾| T: F O'Brien| OR: 92

11/2

Fair performer on the Flat several years ago. Largely strugged since hurdle debut second in September 2010 but not with this yard long and this return to a shorter trip should help. Not dismissed from falling mark.

Form:

Princess Poppy¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Lewis Stones| T: O Murphy| OR: 88

22/1

Yet to show much but handicaps provide her with a much more realistic chance. One to note in the betting.

Form:

Syr Maffos^v²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Jay Tidball⁽³⁾| T: T Lacey| OR: 83

7/2

Blinkered, offered more than previously when fourth of 14 in 2m Taunton handicap last month. That gives him something to build on. One of the more likely types.

Form:

George Mallory²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-7| J: Lewis Dobb⁽³⁾| T: C & A Pogson| OR: 76

8/1

First past the post at Uttoxeter last summer (subsequently disqualified for a banned substance). Returned from 4 months off to finish second at Southwell in November but off again until below par in 2 runs this spring. Bounce back needed.

Form:

One Man Party¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-7| J: Caoilin Quinn| T: D G Bridgwater| OR: 76

3/1

Related to plenty of winners and looked to be in the process of showing improved form (tracking leaders and yet to be asked for effort) when falling 3 out on Plumpton handicap debut 19 days ago. Interesting runner.

Form:

Clean Getaway³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-6| J: Joe Williamson| T: P A Kirby| OR: 75

9/1

Didn't make much of an impact in 4 starts for Nicky Henderson. Has also yet to get really competitive for this yard either but he travelled well until possibly having his stamina stretched over 20.5f at Southwell latest. May do better back at shorter.

Form:

Solid Fuel⁶⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: Cillin Leonard| T: Joanne Thomason-Murphy| OR: 68

14/1

Fair form when second in a Huntingdon bumper last spring but hasn't made much of an impact in his 7 outings over hurdles.

Form:

Ravi Road¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Harriet Tucker⁽⁵⁾| T: M D I Usher| OR: 74

28/1

Modest maiden on the Flat and achieved very little in 4 hurdles in recent months. More chance in handicaps but tough to make a good case for.

Form:

Naasik^p⁵⁴⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 10-2| J: Conor Rabbitt⁽³⁾| T: J R Norton| OR: 64

80/1

Remains a maiden after 31 runs and faces another uphill task from 7 lb out of the handicap.

Form:

L'Es Fremantle⁸⁰

Age: 12| Weight: 10-2| J: Philip Armson| T: M C Chapman| OR: 62| C

250/1

Course chase winner but it'sd a long time since he's shown anything of worth.

Forecasts

One Man Party (3/1), Syr Maffos (7/2), Kingfast (11/2), Lovin Jukebox (11/2), Uncle Arthur (6/1), George Mallory (8/1), Clean Getaway (9/1), Lenebane (12/1), Solid Fuel (14/1), Princess Poppy (22/1), Ravi Road (28/1), Naasik (80/1), L'Es Fremantle (250/1)

ONE MAN PARTY looked menacing when falling 3 out on his recent handicap debut and might be worth siding with in a race where few arrive with compelling claims. There were better signs from Syr Maffos at Taunton last time so he's a possible threat, while Kingfast hasn't been with the Fergal O'Brien stable for long and this return to a shorter trip should help.
