40/1

A useful winning hurdler but not so good over fences for Willie Mullins, only 12th at Ballinrobe in May. Starts out for a new yard with more needed after a break.

Age: 10| Weight: 11-3| J: Mr D Maxwell⁽³⁾| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 124

5/1

It's now 15 runs since last win in 2019 and he came in only eighth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Newbury (24.2f, good to soft) when last seen out 6 months ago. Needs to hit the ground running.

Lihyan^h²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: Aaron Anderson⁽⁵⁾| T: R Menzies| OR: 122| D

2/1

Picked up a second win of the season in 14-runner handicap at Worcester (23f) last time. Up 4 lb but he's not taken lightly in his current mood.

Form: 4-18651

Bells Of Peterboro¹⁷⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 10-13| J: Alan Johns| T: Tim Vaughan| OR: 120

9/2

Dual scorer last season, signing off with another victory at Chepstow (23.6f, good to soft) in April. Has acquitted himself with credit after a break previously so ought to be thereabouts.

Form: 44D351-

Hardy Boy³⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: Ben Jones| T: B Pauling| OR: 119| D

13/8

Got off the mark for the seaason at Market Rasen in August and backed it up with a solid fourth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Bangor (23.2f, good) 30 days ago. In the mix once more.

SUPREMELY WEST improved markedly last season, scoring twice, and is taken to start out again in style here. Worcester-victor Lihyan is next on the list ahead of Bells of Peterboro and Hardy Boy.
