Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Gearoid Harney⁽⁷⁾| T: S Hosie| OR: 99| BF| C

4/1

Had been shaping up well prior to opening his account in ready fashion in a chase here in February. Not in the same form when well-held third back here 12 days ago. Now reverts to hurdles.

Form: 34F413

No Way Pedro²²

Age: 10| Weight: 12-0| J: Beau Morgan⁽⁵⁾| T: Daisy Hitchins| OR: 99

50/1

3-3 in Britain for Brian Barr last summer but offered little on recent comeback run for new trainer at Huntingdon. Can only be watched this time.

Form: 8U1116

Duke Of Moravia^p1⁸²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: H D Daly| OR: 96

9/2

Reached the frame all 4 hurdles starts last season and, though below par initially this time round, he took a step back in the right direction when third of 12 in a Southwell handicap (3m, soft) in January. Possibilities if the first-time cheekpieces help eke out a little more.

Form: 433-5P3

Only Fools^h,t¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: Jack Tudor| T: D Pipe| OR: 91| BF| D

5/1

Showed improved form to gain a second hurdle success at Fontwell (19f, heavy) last month. Good second of 12 at Hereford since and a further 2 lb nudge is unlikely to prevent another prominent showing.

Form: 713512

Robinsville^t²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Freddie Gingell⁽⁵⁾| T: J Tizzard| OR: 85

6/1

Yet to taste success but ran respectably in first-time tongue strap (had wind operation prior) when fourth of 14 in handicap at Taunton (3m, soft) 4 weeks ago. Looks fairly handicapped if he can builds on that.

Form: 7-284P4

Robber's Bridge³²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: James Best| T: Simon Earle| OR: 82| C

2/1

11/8, career best when winning 11-runner handicap hurdle at this course (15f, heavy) 32 days ago, always holding on. Runner-up over this longer trip before. Should remain competitive after a 6 lb rise.

Form: 336321

Bellamy's Grey²¹

Age: 12| Weight: 10-4| J: Miss Thomosina Eyston⁽⁷⁾| T: C J Gray| OR: 75

11/1

Unreliable in the main but this veteran ran with credit when reaching the frame twice here in February. Latest Fontwell fourth no more than respectable, though.

Form: 40-6244

Forecasts

Robber's Bridge (2/1), Moytier (4/1), Duke Of Moravia (9/2), Only Fools (5/1), Robinsville (6/1), Libor Lad (10/1), Bellamy's Grey (11/1), No Way Pedro (50/1)

David Pipe has his team in good nick and ONLY FOOLS might be able to land a third success of the season. Robinsville made a sound return from wind surgery at Taunton 4 weeks ago and is second choice ahead of Libor Lad.
