Selected odds by:

Pinot Rouge^p³⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Jack Power⁽⁷⁾| T: S Corbett| OR: 124| CD

12/1

C&D winner but pulled up in handicap hurdle at Wetherby (19.7f, heavy) 30 days ago. Needs to get back on track.

Form: 36P46P

Curley Finger^p,t¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: R Menzies| OR: 122| CD

10/1

A three-time 3m hurdles winner last season and he took a big step back in the right direction after 3 months off when fourth of 12 in 3m Wetherby handicap 16 days ago. Interesting off a 2 lb lower mark.

Form: 113-0P4

Shared^p¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Paul O'Brien| T: Harry Derham| OR: 114| C

9/2

Course winner who posted a good second of 12 in handicap hurdle at Wetherby (24.1f, heavy) 16 days ago. Handily weighted but he's an unreliable sort overall though.

Form: P-43452

Bold Recruit²³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: Alice Stevens⁽³⁾| T: Billy Aprahamian| OR: 113| D

5/1

Gained a deserved breakthrough win in 7-runner novice hurdle at Ludlow (23.8f, good to soft) 23 days ago. May do better still now handicapping. Much respected.

Form: 2-22231

Burrows Hall²⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-2| J: Danny McMenamin| T: J Parkinson & S Smith| OR: 112

11/8

Is thriving and arrives on a hat-trick following recent handicap wins at Uttoxeter (2m4f) and Market Rasen (23f). Up another 6 lb but he's not taken lightly in his current mood.

Form: 534611

Rialannah³⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Peter Kavanagh⁽³⁾| T: J Parkinson & S Smith| OR: 108| BF

4/1

Remains a maiden and she was pulled up for the second time in her last three starts in 23f handicap at Market Rasen last time when tried in cheekpieces. Needs to bounce back with headgear dispensed with.

Form: P34P2P

Forecasts

Burrows Hall (11/8), Rialannah (4/1), Shared (9/2), Bold Recruit (5/1), Curley Finger (10/1), Pinot Rouge (12/1)

None of these can be ruled out but CURLEY FINGER hinted at a revival after a break when fourth at Wetherby and can capitalise on a reduced mark here. Hat-trick seeking Burrows Hall rates the obvious threat, although handicap debutant Bold Recruit can't be discounted along with the enigmatic Shared.
