11/2

Wide-margin winner on his sole outing in points and looked a useful prospect sent hurdling when making all at Ayr (21.4f) in December 2022. Shaped as if retaining ability in face of stiff task when behind Giovinco on return/chase debut at Newcastle 3 weeks ago and he could build on that now.

Form: 113-2

Age: 8| Weight: 11-10| J: B S Hughes| T: J J Hanlon| OR: 115

9/2

Dual hurdles winner who produced a performance akin to his best in that sphere when ending losing run over fences at Gowran (20f, heavy) 3 weeks ago, asserting run-in. Comes here operating from 11 lb higher mark but respected nevertheless under Brian Hughes.

William Of York^p,t¹⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-9| J: Ross Chapman| T: R Menzies| OR: 114| D

10/3

Progressive over hurdles for Dan Skelton and belatedly confirmed early chase promise for present yard when running out a dominant winner of 9-runner Doncaster handicap (19f, heavy) 2 weeks back. Cheekpieces worn then retained and respected despite 10 lb hike in weights.

Form: 1-12531

Jacks Parrot^p1,t1⁹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: Henry Brooke| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 106| BF

6/1

Bumper winner who displayed fair form over fences in France last year, in frame in 4-y-o events at Moulins and Auteuil at around 2¾m. Joined yard that do well with new recruits and interesting if the market speaks in his favour with cheekpieces refitted.

Form: 15-7624

Hello Judge^t¹⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 10-10| J: Danny McMenamin| T: Mrs A Hamilton| OR: 101| C

2/1

Winning hurdler who added a second chase victory to his tally at this course (20f) 17 days ago, able to dictate but getting the job done in determined fashion. Up just 1 lb for that so no reason why he won't make his presence felt again.

Form: 313431

Poetry Man²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-6| J: Jonathon Bewley| T: G Bewley| OR: 97

20/1

Runner-up completed start in Irish points and best effort over hurdles when fourth in a Newcastle novice (16.9f, heavy) in January. Couldn't build on that for switch to handicaps on chase debut back there last month though and others make greater appeal.

Form: P2-4647

TEESCOMPONENTSYESS has been hit with an 11 lb rise for his chase victory at Gowran 3 weeks ago, yet he got the job done pretty comfortably and, with conditions in his favour, Shark Hanlon's charge looks a live player once more. Ex-French recruit Jacks Parrot is interesting on debut for a yard boasting an excellent strike rate in this sphere and along with Doncaster scorer William of York, heads up the dangers.
