Community Rebel³⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 12-0| J: Ryan Mania| T: J Ewart| OR: 95

14/1

Point winner who landed a 3m Musselburgh maiden hurdle in January 2023 but well beaten in 3 handicaps in a very light career since. Goes chasing now.

Form: 451P/56

Hawkseye View¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: Peter Kavanagh⁽³⁾| T: J Parkinson & S Smith| OR: 92

3/1

Point winner prone to mistakes but has run well in 2 visits to Newcastle over shorter this term. Wouldn't rule out up in trip.

Form: 7625U3

Jamesieconn^t²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: Jonathan England| T: S England| OR: 92

11/8

Winning Irish pointer who never figured in trio of quick-fire hurdle runs but made no mistake having been well backed ahead of chase debut (tongue tied/had breathing operation during break) in staying handicap at Doncaster last month. There is more to come from him.

Form: 1-48051

Watchoutitscookie²³

Age: 7| Weight: 10-9| J: Lorcan Murtagh| T: N J Hawke| OR: 76| CD

11/2

Landed a gamble in C&D novice handicap in December and in better heart than his subsequent form figures at Lingfield suggest, racing too free last time. Wouldn't dismiss back here.

Form: 5-35165

Onenightintown^b,t²⁷

Age: 11| Weight: 10-6| J: B S Hughes| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 73

40/1

Unreliable sort who has yet to fire this term. Mark has tumbled and Brian Hughes is back up.

Form: P-P45P7

Halfway House Lad^t¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-3| J: Charlie Price⁽³⁾| T: M A Barnes| OR: 70| CD

4/1

A most fortuitous winner after 6 months off in 4-runner C&D handicap in November (nearly 50 lengths down when left alone 2 out). Better when third in well-run race in the mud at Wetherby last time and player if in the same form back here.

Form: 615943

Forecasts

Jamesieconn (11/8), Hawkseye View (3/1), Halfway House Lad (4/1), Watchoutitscookie (11/2), Community Rebel (14/1), Onenightintown (40/1)

JAMESIECONN was much improved when gambled on and making a successful debut over fences at Doncaster last month. There is more to come from him and he can follow up. Hawkseye View and Halfway House Lad could be the dangers.
