Selected odds by:

Stony Man^p1³⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: Kai Lenihan| T: G Hanmer| OR: 110

50/1

Sole success came in Bangor maiden (16.7f) in May 2022, and has failed to complete all 4 starts since, off 9 months prior to latest. Tried in cheekpieces.

Form: 5/1PUP-P

Masked Crusader^t¹⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-11| J: Charlie Maggs⁽³⁾| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 107| C

9/2

Landed a pair of novice hurdles in 2022. Temperament has come under suspicion since, although he showed a bit more the last twice and he should benefit from this drop back in trip. Not ruled out.

Form: 4UP-P36

Yealand²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-10| J: Gearoid Harney| T: J Candlish| OR: 106| BF

6/4

Going the right way since switched to handicaps, scoring at Newcastle before a smooth-travelling second at the same course three weeks ago. More to come and worth a chance to get back to winning ways.

Form: 2-5412

St John's Road^t³³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Jack Power| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 105

8/1

Finished runner-up in a bumper and has shaped with encouragement on both hurdling outings. Should relish this longer trip, so she looks a definite player on handicap debut.

Form: 223

Enemy At The Gate^t²³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-5| J: Mr Edward Vaughan⁽⁵⁾| T: D W Whillans| OR: 101

3/1

Maiden who ran as well as he ever has when runner-up at Ayr on his penultimate start, then shaped better than the result (late error) at the same track last time. Down in trip with a tongue strap back on, he's one to be interested in.

Form: 23-4225

Diamand De Vindecy¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Mr Huw Edwards| T: R Bevis| OR: 100

12/1

Fair performer on the level in France and over hurdles for current yard, back on track when third at Taunton last time and can't be fully dismissed.

Form: 023-73

Iron Heart^b,t²⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Miss Abigail Voyce⁽⁵⁾| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 98| D

66/1

Fair hurdles winner but struggled for form on the Flat last year. Fared better when runner-up on his stable/chase debut at Worcester (20f) in September, but has gone backwards from that effort in 2 starts since. Returns to hurdling.

Form: 491-25P

Seasett⁶⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: P Hanlon⁽³⁾| T: J J Hanlon| OR: 98

22/1

Lightly-raced maiden over hurdles. Fairly useful winner at 8f on flat. Twelfth of 16 in handicap hurdle (50/1) at Fairyhouse (20.6f, heavy) 66 days ago. Others make more appeal.

Form: 04090

Bullion Boss⁷¹³

Age: 8| Weight: 10-8| J: Mr William Hamilton⁽⁵⁾| T: N G Richards| OR: 90

22/1

Modest handicap hurdler who was in form when last seen but that was almost two years ago. Hard to know how much ability he retains.

Form: 6434P3/

Milltown Lily^t⁴⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: Mr Ryan Price⁽⁵⁾| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 78

80/1

Modest maiden handicapper on Flat and has shown little so far over hurdles.

Form: 5R-5

So Ladylike²⁷⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 10-2| J: Miss Natasha Cookson⁽⁵⁾| T: N W Alexander| OR: 74

28/1

Little encouragement under Rules and up against it from out of the weights for all that she's joined a new stable.

Form: 246-8P6

Ashjan^p,t²⁹

Age: 11| Weight: 10-2| J: Miss Heidi Palin⁽³⁾| T: Miss S E Forster| OR: 70| C

28/1

Won 3 times over fences in 2022 but recent efforts haven't been all that inspiring.

Form: PP4475

Forecasts

Yealand (6/4), Enemy At The Gate (3/1), Masked Crusader (9/2), St John's Road (8/1), Diamand De Vindecy (12/1), Seasett (22/1), Bullion Boss (22/1), Ashjan (28/1), So Ladylike (28/1), Stony Man (50/1), Iron Heart (66/1), Milltown Lily (80/1)

YEALAND is progressing and can get back to winning ways. St John's Road can improve herself now handicapping and looks a big player. Enemy At The Gate is another to be interested in for an in-form stable.
