20/1

Fair bumper winner for Kim Bailey who showed herself to be on a fair opening mark when second in 7-runner C&D handicap 19 days ago. Must enter calculations from only 1 lb higher.

I Got Stung^p1⁴³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: C Gethings| T: K Bailey & M Nicholls| OR: 95

Mountain Pass^p1²²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Paul O'Brien| T: Harry Derham| OR: 95

33/1

Shaped with some encouragement on his Doncaster hurdling debut back in November but has gone the wrong way since and has plenty to prove in first-time cheekpieces.

Form: 55556P

Blazing Court^p¹⁷⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: S Bowen| T: M Keighley| OR: 94

16/1

Not disgraced when third of 7 in handicap hurdle at Huntingdon (19.6f, good to soft) in November, plugging on. Needs to find a bit more for win purposes returning from a break.

Larkfield Lusive^p1¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: J Kington| T: L Morgan| OR: 94

Form: 52P633

Mermaids Cave²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: H Cobden| T: James Owen| OR: 93

6/1

Form: 020983

Tigger⁵⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: James Bowen| T: W Greatrex| OR: 93

11/1

Lightly-raced maiden who shaped better than the distance beaten suggests when fifth of 8 in a novice hurdle at Taunton (19f, heavy, 28/1) 54 days ago. Into handicaps now and remains capable of better.

Form: 65-055

Nimbus Boy⁵¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Ned Fox⁽⁵⁾| T: S Drinkwater| OR: 92| D

12/1

Glengolly^t1²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: G Sheehan| T: P R Webber| OR: 92

Captain Wallace⁴^{(ex 7)}

4/6

All Ways And Ever^p¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: Miss Roisin Leech⁽⁷⁾| T: V Thompson| OR: 91

150/1

9/1

Point winner who ran to only a poor level again when fifth of 15 in novice hurdle (10/1) at Huntingdon (19.6f, heavy) 37 days ago, needing stiffer test. May make more impact now switched to a handicap.

Form: 1-665

City Roller^t1,v⁷⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: K Brogan| T: L Horsfall| OR: 90

50/1

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Jonathan England| T: S England| OR: 90

Forecasts

Captain Wallace (4/6), Mermaids Cave (6/1), Ginger Jonny (9/1), Tigger (11/1), Nimbus Boy (12/1), Blazing Court (16/1), Saint Bibiana (20/1), Dixie Cowboy (22/1), Larkfield Lusive (28/1), Mountain Pass (33/1), Glengolly (40/1), City Roller (50/1), I Got Stung (50/1), All Ways And Ever (150/1)

CAPTAIN WALLACE opened his account in ready fashion at Exeter last week and, with more to come, he's the percentage call to follow up under a penalty. Tigger remains capable of better now switched to a handicap, with Saint Bibiana completing the shortlist following a good second over C&D recently.
