Lightening Company³⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Jack Hogan| T: B Haslam| OR: 100| CD

2/1

Fairly useful winner at 10f on Flat. Lightly raced in this sphere and got off the mark in 9-runner handicap at this C&D (good to firm) 35 days ago. Big shout despite taking a 5 lb rise in the weights.

Form: 43/063-1

Shantou Lucky^t⁴¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: Aaron Anderson| T: J Bedi| OR: 89

10/1

Winning hurdler/chaser in Ireland for Gavin Cromwell. Some encouragement here on his debut for new stable but has twice failed to back it up. Well weighted if back on his A-game.

Form: 0/PP-495

Morandi Second⁷⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: Joe Williamson| T: P Neville| OR: 87

7/1

Good second in 2m Doncaster handicap hurdle in January 2023 but has largely struggled since. Dropping in the weights but still needs to take a big step forward.

Form: 24/87U-6

Mr Rumbalicious^h⁵⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-9| J: Leah Noreci⁽¹⁰⁾| T: James Moffatt| OR: 81| CD

17/2

Yet to fire in two runs this term, only tenth of 14 in handicap hurdle over C&D (good) 57 days ago. Took this 12 months ago though so can't be totally dismissed with hood back on.

Form: 5/1RU-P0

Milan Echo^p1⁶²

Age: 8| Weight: 10-7| J: Bruce Lynn| T: D Brooke| OR: 79

22/1

Pulled up in handicap hurdle at Hexham (23.3f, good) 62 days ago, though he was prominent to 3 out. No forlorn hope now back down in trip with cheekpieces added.

Form: 0/0457-P

Miss Fedora³⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-6| J: Oscar Palmer⁽⁷⁾| T: J W Mullins| OR: 78

9/1

Opened her account over hurdles Fontwell in November but mostly disappointing since, including over fences this season.

Form: P-46798

Iolani^p⁷

Age: 12| Weight: 10-4| J: Charlie Maggs⁽⁵⁾| T: A Slack| OR: 76| CD

13/2

Veteran scored over C&D in May and posted a creditable fourth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Market Rasen (18.6f, good to firm) 7 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up.

Form: 03-0194

Heart Above⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: Conor Rabbitt| T: Mrs Dianne Sayer| OR: 74

10/3

Yet to get close to his fairly useful bumper form in this sphere and only seventh in handicap hurdle at Market Rasen (18.6f, good to firm) 7 days ago. Others are preferred.

Form: 77-0837

Forecasts

Lightening Company (2/1), Heart Above (10/3), Iolani (13/2), Morandi Second (7/1), Mr Rumbalicious (17/2), Miss Fedora (9/1), Shantou Lucky (10/1), Halla Paroiste (10/1), Milan Echo (22/1)

A number of these arrive with a question mark against them so this looks a good opportunity for LIGHTENING COMPANY to make light of a 5 lb rise and follow up his C&D success last month. Fellow C&D scorer Iolani arrives in good nick and is feared most with last year's victor Mr Rumbalicious and the handily-weighted Shantou Lucky also in the picture if back on song.
