Selected odds by:

Victory March^p¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: Aaron Anderson⁽⁵⁾| T: R Menzies| OR: 95

12/1

Modest form over hurdles in 2021 when trained in Ireland. Since won several times on the Flat (all on the AW) for Seb Spencer. Well held in 2 starts in that sphere for new yard and no sure thing to build on his latest midfield effort back over hurdles at Perth 2 weeks ago.

Form: 6369P/6

Supposedtobe¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: S Bowen| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 95

12/1

Won selling hurdle and Uttoxeter handicap last summer (also successful on Flat) but has struggled in handicaps since. Ease in class rates a plus now at least.

Form: 1P5P-59

My Brother Jack^b¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: B S Hughes| T: Ollie Pears| OR: 95

16/1

Modest Flat winner and a similar standard over hurdles without managing to get his head in front. Below form with usual blinkers left off (back on here) when seventh of 9 in handicap hurdle at Market Rasen 3 weeks ago but possible he'll be sharper with that under his belt here.

Form: 5536P-7

Toscan Genius¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: Nathan Moscrop| T: B Ellison| OR: 92

25/1

Modest Flat winner who was runner-up on debut in this sphere in November and caught the eye on qualifying run when sixth in a Sedgefield novice (16.8f) 3 weeks ago, noted finishing with running left. Possible he could do better yet on that evidence and worth a second look here.

Form: 26-6

Ruler Of The River^p,t¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: David England| T: S England| OR: 91

11/2

Maiden on the Flat who stayed on well to open her account in a juvenile maiden at Kelso (16.2f) in March. Probably best not judged too harshly on exploits in this sphere next 2 starts and she comes here on the back of a couple of spins on the Flat. Not discounted.

Form: 329147-

Razzo Italiano^p,t⁴⁸³

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: R T Dunne| T: G Hanmer| OR: 84

16/1

Scored at Southwell in November 2022 but absent since pulling up in a Leicester claimer in February of last year. Another who may be best guided by the betting back from 16 months off.

Form: P3105P/

Callin Baton Rouge^p⁷²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: James Bowen| T: W Greatrex| OR: 83| BF

7/2

Remains a maiden but not far off the pick of her efforts when 11 lengths second of 6 in mares' handicap at Fontwell (19.2f, heavy) in March. Longer trip possibly stretched her then and claims eased back down in trip here.

Form: 946242-

George Mallory³⁰⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 10-9| J: Benjamin Poste| T: C & A Pogson| OR: 81

20/1

Twice a runner-up prior to opening his account over hurdles in 9-runner Uttoxeter handicap (15.7f) last July. Absent since so market may prove a good guide as to expectations here.

Form: P5/2421-

Broadford Publican⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-8| J: Ross Chapman| T: W Coltherd| OR: 80

7/1

Fared better than previously for current yard when fourth in a Hexham seller (16.2f) at the start of the month but found things tougher back in handicap company at that venue 8 days ago. Others rate that bit stronger.

Form: 77P6-40

Bushmill Boy^p,t⁷⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 10-7| J: Edward Austin⁽⁵⁾| T: D Thompson| OR: 79

11/1

Long-standing maiden who dispelled a lesser effort when finishing runner-up behind a wide-margin winner at Hexham (16.2f) in March. Each-way possibilities again.

Form: 334692-

Iolani^p¹⁹

Age: 12| Weight: 10-2| J: William Maggs⁽⁵⁾| T: A Slack| OR: 71| D

12/1

Veteran whose last victory came back in September 2021. Ran best race for some time when third at Perth (16.2f) on penultimate start in April but failed by a long chalk to back that up at Sedgefield earlier this month.

Form: 5P003-0

Clean Getaway^p¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-2| J: Joe Williamson⁽³⁾| T: P A Kirby| OR: 70

11/2

Still winless over hurdles and made little impact in trio of starts between the flags prior to a creditable fourth back under Rules in a Sedgefield handicap hurdle (16.8f) earlier this month.

Form: 3P36P-4

Coeur Aimant^p³⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 10-2| J: Peter Kavanagh⁽³⁾| T: Lizzie Quinlan| OR: 67

28/1

Didn't take to chasing following a promising return over hurdles last summer and ran some way below pick of his form in this sphere when eighth of 13 in handicap at Perth (16.2f) 5 weeks ago. Work to do from out of the weights here.

Forecasts

Callin Baton Rouge (7/2), Clean Getaway (11/2), Ruler Of The River (11/2), Broadford Publican (7/1), Calevade (8/1), Bushmill Boy (11/1), Iolani (12/1), Supposedtobe (12/1), Victory March (12/1), My Brother Jack (16/1), Razzo Italiano (16/1), George Mallory (20/1), Toscan Genius (25/1), Coeur Aimant (28/1)

A tricky selling handicap but TOSCAN GENIUS caught the eye on his qualifying run in a Sedgefield novice 3 weeks ago, noted finishing with running left and, going handicapping at a low level, he could be worth siding with to confirm the promise showed then. Last year's winner Calevade, Callin Baton Rouge and Ruler of The River are others to consider.
