Sandy Brook¹⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: Freddie Gordon| T: C Gordon| OR: 100

13/2

Fair bumper winner who ran to a similar level without success over hurdles during 2021/22 campaign. Shaped as if needing the run on back of lengthy absence when eighth on chase debut at Lingfield (23.5f) 3 weeks ago and he could well be sharper here.

Form: 12323/8

Head And Heart⁴¹

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Elizabeth Gale⁽¹⁰⁾| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 100

9/2

Got off the mark in 3m handicap chase at Huntingdon in April and signed off with a good third at Ffos Las (23.8f, soft). Below par at Chepstow on return but better expected now back down in class.

Form: 3/851-35

Twenty Twenty^v¹⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-9| J: Caoilin Quinn⁽³⁾| T: G & J Moore| OR: 95

20/1

Fairly useful chaser who failed to complete in trio of chase tries before a disappointing display when tenth at Lingfield (23.5f) 3 weeks ago. Plenty to prove at present.

Form: 1/3-FPP0

The Late Legend^p,t⁴²

Age: 10| Weight: 11-8| J: Lewis Stones| T: T H Weston| OR: 94

50/1

Ended 2021/22 campaign with success at Warwick (3m) but most disappointing last season and fared no better returning from 9 months off at aforementioned venue 6 weeks ago. Needs to leave that in his wake.

Form: 3607P-P

Bring The Action^p,t¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: Tom Buckley| T: N J Hawke| OR: 93| BF

7/1

Sole success came in Wetherby handicap chase (24.2f) early in 2022 but he did show the benefit of his reappearance run over hurdles when second over fences at Doncaster (26f) 17 days ago. Claims from career-low mark.

Form: 25F5-92

Delgany Monarch³³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-6| J: Tabitha Worsley| T: R Rowe| OR: 92

9/1

Only one who showed his form when landing 3-runner C&D handicap back in April and whilst he probably needed his seasonal return at Taunton 33 days ago, his present mark demands that little bit more.

Form: 64321-6

My Lady Grey^p³⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 11-3| J: Harry Kimber⁽³⁾| T: J Tizzard| OR: 89

14/1

Landed a trio of small-field chase contests last summer (at around 26f) and shaped as if needing the run on back of 14 months off when fifth of 7 in handicap hurdle at Fontwell (19.2f) 4 weeks ago. Return to further a plus back over larger obstacles and she's worth a second look.

Form: 11414-5

Ya Know Yaseff^b,t²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-10| J: Gearoid Harney⁽⁶⁾| T: D Pipe| OR: 82

5/1

Improved fitted with blinkers, winning handicaps at Worcester/Newton Abbot (at up to 25.7f) in September. Mixed bag in trio of subsequent outings, though latest run at Lingfield probably best excused given the trip was short of her optimum.

Form: P11424

Barrowmount³³

Age: 7| Weight: 10-8| J: Bradley Harris| T: J W Mullins| OR: 80

16/1

Sole win came in Stratford maiden hurdle (22f) on his hurdling debut in May 2021. However, mixed bag since, well beaten back over fences at Taunton (23f) last month.

Form: 8F3-469

Ivilnoble^b⁶⁴⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 10-8| J: Ben Ffrench-Davis⁽³⁾| T: D J S Ffrench Davis| OR: 80| D

28/1

Just the one win to his name over fences but shaped well when finishing runner-up 3 times during 2021/22. Jumping let him down when last seen, pulled up at Leicester (22.7f) in March of last year. Market best guide following lengthy absence.

Form: 4222PP/

Lindisfarne^t⁴¹⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 10-5| J: Angus Cheleda| T: R Walford| OR: 77

11/4

Lightly-raced maiden who has fared better in handicaps, twice a runner-up over hurdles prior to a good third over fences at Uttoxeter in October of last year. Absent since but certainly not out of things from such a low mark if ready to roll on return.

Form: 874/223-

Forecasts

Lindisfarne (11/4), Head And Heart (9/2), Ya Know Yaseff (5/1), Sandy Brook (13/2), Bring The Action (7/1), Delgany Monarch (9/1), My Lady Grey (14/1), Barrowmount (16/1), Twenty Twenty (20/1), Ivilnoble (28/1), The Late Legend (50/1)

A 3-time winner over fences last summer, MY LADY GREY shaped as if needing the run back from a lengthy absence over hurdles at Fontwell 4 weeks ago and, having eased further in the weights, she could be worth chancing to build on that returned to larger obstacles. Bring The Action and the returning Lindisfarne are others to consider, along with the class-dropping Head And Heart.
