16/1

Offered something to work on at huge odds on hurdles debut at Ludlow in October but was easy to back and pulled up switched to handicaps there last month. Tongue strap now goes on.

Moro Rock⁵⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: Harry Bannister| T: Sara Ender| OR: 92

3/1

Back on track with fifth at Wetherby on handicap debut in January but produced an atrocious round of jumping before pulling up there later in the month. Others make more appeal.

Form: 68-445P

Lady Hamilton⁷⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: Ross Chapman| T: W Storey| OR: 89

33/1

Placed in a mares maiden at Doncaster last March. Lightly raced since and failed to beat a rival home on the Flat at Newcastle when last seen, so hard to have maximum faith in her at present.

Form: 4637-6

Dexperado^p1⁷⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Charlie Hammond| T: N Kent| OR: 86

6/1

Down the field in a bumper and hasn't made any impact in novice hurdles, but is bred to be better than this opening mark and possible he'll step forward with cheekpieces now added for handicap debut.

Form: 6-609

Dazzling Dove^p,t¹⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 11-2| J: Tom Cannon| T: Billy Aprahamian| OR: 83

12/1

Good second at Southwell last March but efforts this season haven't been as promising, perhaps needing the run after a short break when fifth of 7 in handicap hurdle there 16 days ago. On an attractive mark if able to put it all together.

Form: 320-065

Double Powerful^h⁵^{(ex 7)}

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: R P McLernon| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 76

5/4

Off mark when taking a 6-runner handicap hurdle at Fakenham (20f, good to soft, 5/1) in cosy fashion 5 days ago. Looks the one to beat with further improvement likely.

Form: 7P7941

Protector Pete⁶⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: David Noonan| T: T R Gretton| OR: 80

16/1

Half-brother to useful hurdler/fair chaser Petrastar but little show over hurdles so far and more needed now handicapping.

Form: P56

Lily Baloo¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: T D Easterby| OR: 66

9/1

Down the field in bumpers and made no impact in 3 novice hurdles, but bred to do better at some point and now goes handicapping

Forecasts

Double Powerful (5/4), Moro Rock (3/1), Dexperado (6/1), Heros De Moutiers (8/1), Lily Baloo (9/1), Dazzling Dove (12/1), Gentle Victor (16/1), Protector Pete (16/1), Lady Hamilton (33/1)

DOUBLE POWERFUL stands out after scoring at Fakenham last week and should prove up to defying a penalty. Handicap newcomers Lily Baloo and Dexperado are next on the shortlist.
