Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Jack Tudor| T: D Pipe| OR: 112

9/2

Fair hurdler who took a firm step back in the right direction when third in a handicap at Wincanton in March. Had another breathing operation and possibly needed the run after 10 weeks off when well held at Worcester (20f, soft) last month. Needs to get back on track.

Form: P2/083-4

Jen's Boy^p¹⁹¹

Age: 9| Weight: 12-0| J: N de Boinville| T: N J Henderson| OR: 112

5/1

Awarded 26.5f Newton Abbot handicap in August (suffered interference) but his run of good form came to an end when remote third in 3m Southwell handicap 6 months ago. Can bounce back with cheekpieces applied.

Form: 1/P4123-

Halifax^p1,t¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: Conor Ring⁽³⁾| T: G Harris| OR: 108

11/10

Gained a deserved first success in handicap at Exeter (2m7f) in February and after a couple of below par efforts, ran better down in grade despite an indifferent round of jumping when runner-up at Warwick (21f, good to firm) just over 2 weeks ago. First-time headgear on and can go well.

Form: 21499-2

Loved Out^p⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: Isabel Williams⁽³⁾| T: Evan Williams| OR: 95| BF| C

11/4

Course winner last June and went down only on the nod after 8 months off back here (20f, good) last month. Ran creditably back under a claimer after just 4 days off at Newton Abbot (21.6f, good) last week and fancied to be in the mix with cheekpieces back on.

Form: 12U8-24

Forecasts

Halifax (11/10), Loved Out (11/4), Astigar (9/2), Jen's Boy (5/1)

There were more encouraging signs from HALIFAX when finishing runner-up at Warwick just over a fortnight ago and, with first-time headgear applied to help sharpen up his jumping, Grace Harris' 6-y-o gets the verdict to double his tally. Loved Out is taking his racing well and he gets the vote for the forecast spot over the retuning Jen's Boy.
