5/4

Fairly useful bumper/hurdles winner who made a promising return/chase debut behind a smart prospect at Ffos Las (2m) in October. Failed to build on that back up in trip when fifth at Ascot (18.8f) latest but he's certainly not out of things here.

Form: 1714-25

8/1

Made a winning start for his new yard in 2m1f handicap chase at Cartmel in August and has held form well in defeat since, good second of 7 in handicap chase at Carlisle (2m) 5 weeks ago. Can give another good account up in trip.

Form: 95-1222

Shadows In The Sky²¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 10-8| J: Sean Quinlan| T: C Grant| OR: 104WS

25/1

Point winner. Went close in 3m Musselburgh maiden on hurdle debut in January but not in anything like the same form in 3 subsequent outings. Had wind op ahead of return/chase debut and the betting may well prove a useful guide.

9/2

Dual point winner who showed ability over hurdles last term and improved on that when third of 6 in handicap at Sedgefield on chase debut 32 days ago. Of interest with progress anticipated.

Form: 1/0445-3

Hello Judge²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-6| J: Danny McMenamin| T: Mrs A Hamilton| OR: 102| D

15/8

Successful hurdler who has got back on track following a wind op, building on his reappearance third at Hexham when running out a good winner at Carlisle (20f, soft) 4 weeks ago, displaying a determined attitude. Possibilities again from 4 lb higher mark.

Form: 72P7-31

Forecasts

Cruz Control (5/4), Hello Judge (15/8), Present Fair (9/2), Glory And Honour (8/1), Shadows In The Sky (25/1)

HELLO JUDGE has showed the benefit of a wind op upon returning this term, building on his Hexham third and showing a determined attitude to boot when landing a 15-runner handicap chase at Carlisle 4 weeks ago. He can go well again from a 4 lb higher mark, with Cruz Control and Present Fair others to consider.
