C&D winner. Only fifth of 7 in handicap hurdle at Catterick (25.3f, soft) 109 days ago but the sort to bounce back.

9/4

Greenhill Gardens^t1³⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: P W Wadge⁽³⁾| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 83

5/2

Still a maiden and below form sixth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Newcastle (20.3f, heavy) 38 days ago. Tongue strap goes on 1st time with more needed.

Form: F54V66-

Iturgeon Du Breuil^p⁷³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: Conor Rabbitt| T: F P Murtagh| OR: 80

8/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, very good third of 15 in handicap hurdle (50/1) at Ayr (24.3f, good) 73 days ago. Worth considering with headgear again sported.

Form: P/368P3-

Rouse^p1,t1⁸⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-10| J: Aaron Anderson| T: R Menzies| OR: 77

40/1

Only poor form in bumpers and has made little impact both over hurdles so far. Needs to raise his game considerably on just his second venture into handicap company.

Form: 53F/780-

Dakota Beat^t¹⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 10-8| J: Alan Doyle| T: J R Norton| OR: 75| C| D

12/1

Won a 23f Bangor handicap last August. Off 8 months below a below-pa ninth in handicap hurdle at Warwick (25f, good to soft) 15 days ago. Needs to step forward.

Form: 66147-9

Misscarlett^p⁷⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 10-7| J: Joe Williamson| T: P A Kirby| OR: 74| D

18/1

It's now 13 runs since last win in 2021 and only sixth of 8 in Flat handicap at Newcastle (16.2f) 79 days ago. Others appeal more back over hurdles.

Form: 8723/65-

Teddy Mac⁷³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-4| J: Charlie Maggs⁽⁵⁾| T: I A Duncan| OR: 71

25/1

Lightly-raced maiden who came in only fifth of 6 in novice hurdle at Ayr (20.4f, good) 73 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut with lots to find.

Form: 5/8P45-

Forecasts

Rumble B (9/4), Greenhill Gardens (5/2), Balkotic (13/2), Dillarchie (7/1), Iturgeon Du Breuil (8/1), Dakota Beat (12/1), Misscarlett (18/1), Teddy Mac (25/1), Rouse (40/1)

A few of these come here with question marks against them but RUMBLE B arrives at the top of his game so is fancied to bag another C&D success. Very good Ayr third Iturgeon du Breuil could emerge as the main danger, with Balkotic and Dillarchie also in the picture.
