Belvedere Blast^b⁸^{(ex 7)}

Age: 5| Weight: 12-7| J: Henry Brooke| T: A Keatley| OR: 96| CD

18/5

Patchy profile but looked rejuvenated when scoring over C&D (good) in first-time blinkers last week. Likely to make a bold bid to follow up under a penalty, provided the headgear works equally well second time round.

Form: U384P-1

Embolden¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Benjamin Poste| T: C Hobson| OR: 94

11/1

Winner of a 2m Plumpton handicap over Easter and bounced back from a below-par display over 23.3f on penultimate start when 5¾ lengths third of 9 to Vision of Hope at Huntingdon (15.8f, good) 11 days ago. 7 lb better off with that rival now.

Form: 6613-P3

Game Beaaa¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: S Bowen| T: D Bourke| OR: 84

12/1

Placed in handicaps at Newcastle and Doncaster for this yard last November but her efforts since returning from a break/wind op have left much to be desired.

Form: 3733-P0

Gone In Sixty^t¹³³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Harry Bannister| T: A M Hales| OR: 82

11/2

Showed plenty when runner-up in a Southwell bumper on debut in May. Yet to match that level of form in this sphere, though, and improvement will be needed if he's to emerge on top.

Belle Na Bann^t¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: B S Hughes| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 80| D

12/1

Won handicaps at Fontwell/Newton Abbot for Neil Mulholland last summer and, save for a tame effort when clearly not 100% here in March, she has performed with credit for new yard this year. Still, others appeal more from a win point of view.

Form: 6422P-6

Prospect House^p¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-10| J: Danny McMenamin| T: P D Niven| OR: 78

7/1

Bettered previous form on second run following a wind op when second in a 6-runner C&D handicap (good) last month. Pulled nicely clear of the rest that day and each-way claims off the same mark if able to build on that.

Form: 4P40-82

Vision Of Hope^h,t¹¹^{(ex 7)}

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: H Cobden| T: James Owen| OR: 76

10/3

Won 2 of her 5 starts on the Flat for George Boughey and opened hurdles account at the fifth at Huntingdon (15.8f, good) recently. Was 3 lb 'wrong' that day but she's 3 lb 'well-in' under a penalty this time and, with Harry Cobden again aboard, she's a big player.

Form: 54-741

Strong Team^p²⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 10-9| J: Thomas Dowson| T: C Grant| OR: 77| D

40/1

Solid second off 2 lb higher at Newcastle in November but failed to fire returned to this sphere following a break at the same course last month.

Form: P5724-6

Clean Getaway^p⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-5| J: Joe Williamson⁽⁵⁾| T: P A Kirby| OR: 73| BF

4/1

Winless following 12 attempts over hurdles but will surely buck that trend before long judged on recent second in first-time cheekpieces (retained) at Cartmel (17.2f, good). Due to go up 3 lb for that and he's high on the shortlist.

Form: F754-42

Naasik^v¹⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 10-2| J: Conor Rabbitt⁽⁷⁾| T: J R Norton| OR: 64

150/1

Remains a maiden after 33 runs and has shown next to nothing in 2 starts since returning from a lengthy absence. Visor refitted.

Form: 6000/8P

Forecasts

Vision Of Hope (10/3), Belvedere Blast (18/5), Clean Getaway (4/1), Gone In Sixty (11/2), Prospect House (7/1), Embolden (11/1), Game Beaaa (12/1), Belle Na Bann (12/1), Strong Team (40/1), Naasik (150/1)

Three of these are ahead of the handicapper, namely VISION OF HOPE, Clean Getaway and Belvedere Blast, and it's probably best to concentrate on that trio. The vote goes to the first-named, who didn't look quite so headstrong as before when landing a pretty competitive contest at Huntingdon and she again has the assistance of Harry Cobden. Both Clean Getaway and Belvedere Blast responded well to new headgear last week and the former is just about feared most.
