Selected odds by:

Rock House^p1⁶³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 124| BF| CD

2/5

Point/bumper winner who easily landed the odds on hurdling bow at Worcester (2m) in September and built on that when third in Chepstow Grade 2 (19.4f) the following month. Couple of heavy defeats since raise questions but he's certainly in the right hands and this is easier. Cheekpieces on.

Form: 1-21364

Sea Grey^p⁴³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Theo Gillard| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 118| BF

12/1

Fairly useful performer on Flat who got off the mark for new connections over hurdles at Catterick (19.3f) in December. May have been undone by testing conditions at Southwell latest and must enter calculations.

Form: 215

Grain Trade^h1¹⁵¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Harry Bannister| T: Billy Aprahamian

200/1

No promise in a bumper/novice hurdle. Hooded.

Form: 0-P

Gwash^t1⁶⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: P J Brennan| T: F O'Brien

15/2

Point winner who made a sound start under Rules when length second of 4 in Catterick bumper (good to soft) in November. Looked a hard work when mid-field at Doncaster 2 months later. Tongue tie reached for. ahead of hurdles debut.

Form: 1-26

Huckleberry Sting¹⁰⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: C J Todd| T: D Skelton

250/1

In good hands but looks limited on early evidence.

Form: 790

Locked On¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: David Bass| T: Jack Jones

250/1

Brother to bumper winner but not a great deal of encouragement in bumpers.

Form: 67

Magical Hill⁴¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: S Bowen| T: P Neville

8/1

Kingston Hill gelding was placed in an Irish point before making a sound start to his Rules career when placed both starts in bumpers.

Form: P-333

Mount Ferns¹⁰²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: Miss E C Lavelle

50/1

Runner-up in a bumper but unable to see race out both hurdles outings so far.

Form: 02-09

Ned Cash¹²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Finn Lambert⁽³⁾| T: R T Phillips

33/1

Blue Bresil gelding. Half-brother to useful French hurdler/chaser Fou Et Sage and modest/ungenuine hurdler/chaser Wisecracker. Similar form it bumpers 7 months apart. Hurdles debut.

Form: 5-3

Rehill Relic³⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Craig Nichol| T: S Allwood

40/1

Comfortable winner of sole outing in points but was readily put in his place by the winner when second of 4 in a Haydock bumper on Rules debut and was far too keen at Carlisle next time. Fair start to hurdling career when fifth at Catterick.

Form: 1-264

Djerbanni²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: R T Dunne| T: Ian Williams

150/1

Fairly useful form when winning a 15f Dieppe Flat maiden for Mikel Delzangles last summer. Shaped better than distant fourth of 5 suggests on recent Kelso hurdles debut but since pulled up at Stratford.

Form: 4P

Dog Fox^h⁴¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: Henry Brooke| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero

14/1

Fairly useful 1¼m Flat winner for Ed Dunlop. Should have a future over hurdles for his new connections but he'll need to settle than he did at Market Rasen.

Form: 4

Love True⁵⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-4| J: Toby Wynne⁽³⁾| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero

40/1

Fairly useful Flat winner at up to 13f in France. Shaped promisingly when third of 10 on her Doncaster hurdles debut just after Christmas but well held at Catterick since.

Form: 35

Forecasts

Rock House (2/5), Gwash (15/2), Magical Hill (8/1), Sea Grey (12/1), Dog Fox (14/1), Ned Cash (33/1), Love True (40/1), Rehill Relic (40/1), Mount Ferns (50/1), Djerbanni (150/1), Grain Trade (200/1), Locked On (250/1), Huckleberry Sting (250/1)

There are some risks attached to taking a short price about ROCK HOUSE, who is fitted with cheekpieces on the back a of a couple of heavy defeats but this isn't a strong race. Drying ground will help Sea Grey and he could be the one to give the selection most to think about.
