Thank You Blue^t⁵⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 12-1| J: Sean Quinlan| T: J Candlish| OR: 111| C

11/4

Placed in 2 bumpers for Sam Thomas and made a winning start over hurdles for new stable here (17f, soft) in November. Found out under a penalty back here over C&D since but it's still early days and he could have a part to play on this handicap debut.

Form: 3/2-14

Wholeofthemoon^h⁵⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: B S Hughes| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 110| BF

11/2

Fairly useful Flat winner who left his previous hurdle efforts behind when making a successful handicap debut over 19.5f at Doncaster in December. Put in another good shift when runner-up dropped to 16.6f at the same course (soft) since and he's a live contender.

Form: 23-512

Shantou Lucky³¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-13| J: Aaron Anderson⁽⁵⁾| T: J Bedi| OR: 109

40/1

Three-time winner in Ireland for Gavin Cromwell but ended last season on a downer and probably best watched starting out for new connections.

Form: 446600-

Hawkseye View²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Ross Chapman| T: J Parkinson & S Smith| OR: 105| D

11/1

Successful sole completed start in points but only modest form to date over hurdles and sizeable step forward needed now pitched into a handicap for the first time.

Form: U-15326

Redbridge Rambler^p⁶³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: S Bowen| T: M Keighley| OR: 100

5/1

Produced his best effort over hurdles when runner-up in handicap at Huntingdon in October but well held both subsequent starts and record under Rules now stands at 0-9.

Form: 466200

Halpha Soleil³⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: C O'Farrell| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 99| CD

7/2

Successful twice in French bumpers and came good over hurdles in a C&D handicap on Boxing Day. Wasn't disgraced at Catterick last time and he's worth considering off this 1 lb lower mark.

Form: 46-41P4

Marty Mcfly^t⁶⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Danny McMenamin| T: R M Smith| OR: 94

14/1

Dead-heated in an Irish point and reached the frame in 2 bumpers for Patrick Neville last season. Hasn't set the world alight in 3 starts since switched to hurdles and needs to up his game now switched to handicap company.

Form: 1/43-728

Cailin Dearg^t⁴²

Age: 9| Weight: 10-4| J: Craig Nichol| T: R Dobbin| OR: 86| CD

6/1

Recorded back-to-back wins over C&D in December 2021. Hasn't shown much in 3 starts since returning from a lengthy absence in November but she's been given a chance by the handicapper and is certainly one to consider.

Form: 240/097

Forecasts

Thank You Blue (11/4), Halpha Soleil (7/2), Redbridge Rambler (5/1), Wholeofthemoon (11/2), Cailin Dearg (6/1), Hawkseye View (11/1), Marty Mcfly (14/1), Shantou Lucky (40/1)

It could be worth rolling the dice with CAILIN DEARG, who hasn't fired in a handful of appearances so far this season but she's been given a real chance by the handicapper. It's likely that Wholeofthemoon will be in the thick of things and he is feared most ahead of Halpha Soleil and handicap-debutant Thank You Blue.
