Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 132

6/1

Added to his tally in first-time cheekpieces at Kelso in September before finishing runner-up in a deeper handicap at Cheltenham. Shaped as if better for the run when fifth in 3m handicap at Newbury 49 days ago and could go well in refitted headgear.

Martha Brae^p²⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 11-10| J: Miss Heidi Palin⁽⁷⁾| T: D Skelton| OR: 128

22/1

Largely consistent sort who got her head back in front at Kempton (24.5f) over Christmas. Ran respectably next 2 outings, including in a C&D Grade 2, but produced a laboured effort back in a handicap at Warwick last time.

Goshhowposh^b1⁴⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: M G Nolan| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 127| BF

17/2

Low-mileage 7-y-o who has landed a brace of handicaps at around 3m this season without looking the finished article. Failed to meet expectations when pulled up at Exeter last time and blinkers now applied.

Form: 43-1U1P

Doughmore Bay⁶¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: Miss E C Lavelle| OR: 127| BF

5/1

Made a winning start under Rules in 2½m Worcester novice hurdle in May. Has yet to build on that but ran well over a slightly longer trip than previously after 11 weeks off when second of 7 in a Plumpton handicap (25f, good to soft) in January. Remains capable of better.

Form: F-1272

Tanganyika¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: Miss V Williams| OR: 124| D

6/1

Improved for the step up to a staying trip when scoring at Bangor (23f) in December and firmly back on the up when readily making all in treacherous conditions at Newbury (24.2f). More or less backed up that improvement in a valuable affair at Uttoxeter but his current mark demands a bit more.

Form: 135F13

Astronomic View^p²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: Lucy Gardner| T: Mrs S Gardner| OR: 123

6/1

Exeter bumper winner who confirmed previous promise over hurdles when recording a wide-margin success in 6-runner handicap at Warwick (26f, heavy) 3 weeks ago, albeit in a race that fell apart. Respected up 8 lb.

Form: 322231

My Bobby Dazzler²⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 11-5| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽³⁾| T: Mrs M Rowley| OR: 123

14/1

Dug deep when making a successful start over fences at Worcester in June and ran creditably back over hurdles when second at Cheltenham (3m, soft) on New Year's Day. However, disappointed at Huntingdon and was no match for Astronomic View at Warwick (26f) last time.

Form: 184282

Picanha⁴⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 11-4| J: Finn Lambert⁽³⁾| T: R T Phillips| OR: 122| D

13/2

Made it 2-5 over hurdles when gamely accounting for 6 rivals in a Warwick handicap (25f, good) in April 2022. Shaped as if retaining all ability after 22 months off when fourth at Newbury (24.2f) 7 weeks ago and is entitled to sharpen up for the outing.

Form: 31421/4

Secret Trix^p,t1¹⁵³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: S Bowen| T: O Murphy| OR: 121| D

11/1

Thrived with cheekpieces applied in the first half of the season, completing a hat-trick at Uttoxeter (23.3f) in July. Found only one too good at Worcester and Aintree subsequently and another good run seems likely back from a break (capable fresh).

Form: 3-11122

Balkardy²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 10-9| J: Isabel Williams⁽³⁾| T: Evan Williams| OR: 113| D

40/1

Gained reward for his consistency when gaining a first success of the season at Musselburgh (23.8f, soft) in February. Turned in a rare poor effort when tailed off at Warwick since.

Form: 222315

Paricolor^t,v1¹¹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-8| J: Jack Tudor| T: D Pipe| OR: 112

28/1

Has tumbled in the weights this season and ran well when runner-up at Fontwell (25.8f, soft) on Boxing Day. However, needs to case aside a poor run at Exeter last week. Visor on for 1st time.

Form: 6P-362P

Shoeshine Boy^t²⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 10-3| J: Craig Nichol| T: D W Whillans| OR: 107| D

17/2

Tongue tied and got off the mark for the season in 13-runner handicap at Ayr (24.3f, heavy) in February. Followed up from a 3 lb higher mark at Kelso but had nothing to spare.

Forecasts

Doughmore Bay (5/1), Astronomic View (6/1), Judicial Law (6/1), Tanganyika (6/1), Picanha (13/2), Shoeshine Boy (17/2), Goshhowposh (17/2), Secret Trix (11/1), My Bobby Dazzler (14/1), Martha Brae (22/1), Paricolor (28/1), Storm Nelson (33/1), Balkardy (40/1)

A hard race to be dogmatic about but JUDICIAL LAW shaped as if better for the run when fifth at Newbury last month and could be the answer with headgear refitted. Secret Trix is sure to be in the thick of the action if picking up where he left off in the autumn, with Astronomic View respected up 8 lb for his Warwick romp.
