Patagonia^p,t²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: R T Dunne| T: G Hanmer| OR: 99

5/1

Went close over fences at Wetherby in March and could have a race like this in him if staying. Just one win in 6 months for yard.

Form: 325/426-

Dime Store Cowgirl^t²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Bridget Andrews| T: D Skelton| OR: 91

6/1

Hurdles winner who got back on track sent chasing when second at Wincanton last month. Return to left-handed track will suit and she should have more to offer. Can go well if staying the longer trip.

Form: P183P2-

Fox's Socks^t¹⁴⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: Harry Bannister| T: A M Hales| OR: 89| D

7/2

Winning hurdler who ran well on second start over fences at Market Rasen in December but well held at Huntingdon on Boxing Day. More needed on return.

Form: 204525-

Higgs^p²⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 11-4| J: Cillin Leonard⁽⁵⁾| T: S-J Davies| OR: 89

12/1

Dual hurdles winner back in 2018. Ran well on a couple of occasions over fences earlier this year but has failed to complete the last twice.

Forever Des Long^t¹⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-3| J: David Noonan| T: Miss C Dyson| OR: 88

50/1

Market Rasen hurdles winner for Philip Hobbs but ended his time with that yard on a low note and well held all 5 starts for present connections. Tries chasing now.

Form: 540088-

Go Fox^h⁶⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: J M Quinlan| T: N B King| OR: 85

25/1

Out of sorts (has shown nothing in 2 goes over fences). Potentially very well handicapped.

Form: 749P04-

Quiet Flow^p,t⁷⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 10-13| J: Tom Midgley⁽⁵⁾| T: S England| OR: 84

9/2

Runner-up twice in February (just failed over C&D first occasion) and fair shout back from a break if jumping better.

Form: 3P3225-

Mystic Man⁵²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-6| J: Ben Bromley⁽⁵⁾| T: O Sherwood| OR: 77| D

13/2

Point winner who found just one too good on Rules debut in a Stratford bumper last May. Hasn't shown much in 4 starts over hurdles since (ran a moody race latest) but could do better for switch to chasing.

Form: P2489P-

Overtougeorge³²²

Age: 9| Weight: 10-5| J: C J Todd| T: C & A Pogson| OR: 76| C

28/1

Going well over hurdles here when last seen but needs to improve on his previous chasing efforts and this sort of trip possibly beyond him.

Form: 65/2134-

Miss Antipova³⁶

Age: 11| Weight: 10-5| J: James Best| T: M Keighley| OR: 76

11/1

Back on track having dropped a ton in the weights when second at Ffos Las (19.4f) 5 weeks ago and claims if building on that.

Form: F32/PP2-

Brickadank^t³⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 10-3| J: C O'Farrell| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 74

11/1

Long-standing maiden but, on just his second start over fences, came closer than ever before to breaking his duck at Newcastle over this trip 4 weeks ago. Needs to build on that now.

Form: 485742-

Forecasts

Fox's Socks (7/2), Quiet Flow (9/2), Patagonia (5/1), Dime Store Cowgirl (6/1), Mystic Man (13/2), Miss Antipova (11/1), Brickadank (11/1), Higgs (12/1), Go Fox (25/1), Overtougeorge (28/1), Forever Des Long (50/1)

DIME STORE COWGIRL made a good fist of it on her chasing debut 4 weeks ago and will be suited by the return to a left-handed track so she could go very well if staying. Miss Antipova and Quiet Flow are a couple of others to consider.
