Vickers.Bet Independent Family Owned Bookmaker Handicap Hurdle (Div 1)

Is down to an interesting mark but found little at Catterick on her most recent outing. Hard to have confidence in.

Hasn't fired so far this season but has dropped to a good mark judged on the pick of her form. Cheekpieces back on. Good-value conditional takes the ride and she's interesting.

Respectable fourth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Newcastle (16.9f, good to soft, 9/1) 20 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Dropped a further 2 lb and merits consideration.

On a losing run but not disgraced when fourth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Newcastle (23.7f, good) on most recent outing. Should remain competitive from an easing mark.

Fair maiden on the Flat for Gavin Cromwell and showed aptitude for hurdling for this yard when placed in novice company last term. Well held both starts in handicap company this season but is easing in the weights and first-time blinkers can trigger a better showing.

A fair winning hurdler in Ireland. Failed to build on earlier promise for his current yard when only fifth of 6 in 2m course handicap chase in November and again ran below form in a first-time visor back over hurdles at Musselburgh since. Cheekpieces back on. Has had a breathing op.

Hasn't looked a natural jumper so far but will have more chance now handicapping.

Fair maiden on the Flat in Ireland but just poor form in 4 runs over hurdles, including on handicap debut at Catterick last time.

Long-standing maiden who ran poorly back up in trip after 5 months off when ninth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Kelso (20.9f, good to soft) 88 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Others more persuasive from 2 lb out of the weights.

Looks of little account on early evidence. Up in trip for handicap debut. 10 lb out of the weights.
