Age: 7| Weight: 10-10| J: N F Houlihan| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 79| CD

3/1

Going well when falling 2 out (looked likely winner) in handicap at Fontwell but let down by jumping again when only fifth there next time.

Form: 9522F-5

Rebel Royal^p⁴²

Age: 10| Weight: 10-3| J: Tristan Durrell| T: B I Case| OR: 72

12/1

Just the one win over hurdles, which was gained back in October 2019, and it's hard to draw any positives from what he's shown in 2 starts since returning from a break.

Form: 3526-P7

Forecasts

Nadim (2/1), Mickyh (3/1), Born To Please (9/2), Definite (11/2), Ayr Of Elegance (13/2), Ranco (8/1), Zafar (17/2), Rebel Royal (12/1), Jakamani (28/1), Dutch Admiral (33/1)

NADIM has improved in handicaps and could open his account over hurdles for his in-form yard. Newton Abbot-winner Ayr of Elegance and Born To Please are feared.
