Redbridge Rambler^p⁵⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: James Best| T: M Keighley| OR: 99| D

15/2

Fair winner at 24f over hurdles but yet to match that form in this sphere, fourth of 9 in handicap chase at Uttoxeter (20f, soft) 54 days ago. Needs to step forward after a break.

Form: 1-34454

Macfin^t⁷⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 11-10| J: Stan Sheppard| T: T Lacey| OR: 95| D

11/1

Placed all 3 starts over fences for Nigel Twiston-Davies in 2021/22. Won 4 starts between the flags since but pulled up in 3m Southwell handicap chase in January. Needs a big step forward.

Form: 2311/8P

Lock Out^b¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-6| J: Ben Bromley⁽⁵⁾| T: D Pipe| OR: 91| CD

7/2

C&D winner but he came in a well-held second of 7 in handicap chase at Wincanton (25.1f, soft) 14 days ago. Weighted to go well though if back on his A-game.

Form: 439P22

Puddlesinthepark^p²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams| OR: 88| D

4/1

Scored at Hereford in February and yet to be asked for his effort when unseated rider 5 out in handicap chase at Ffos Las (23.8f, heavy) 20 days ago. Not ruled out.

Form: 60412U

Unspeakable^t⁸⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 10-11| J: Jack Tudor| T: Christian Williams| OR: 82| D

4/1

On al losing run but he comes here on the back of a good second of 10 in handicap chase at Taunton (26.3f, good to soft) 80 days ago. A likely player after a break.

Form: 863532

Frankie Roy^p1,t⁴²

Age: 8| Weight: 10-9| J: Charlie Price⁽³⁾| T: R L Llewellyn| OR: 80

12/1

Lightly-raced maiden who was pulled up in handicap chase at Ffos Las (23.8f, heavy) on his debut over fences 42 days ago. Cheekpieces are reached for now.

Form: 4P506/P

Jessmae^p³⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 10-8| J: Lee Edwards| T: Henry Oliver| OR: 79| D

9/2

Still a maiden and he recorded a fair third of 6 in handicap chase at Market Rasen (23.9f, good to soft) 30 days ago. Possibilities.

Form: 4-023U3

Janeslittlevoice⁵¹⁸

Age: 11| Weight: 10-4| J: Ben Godfrey| T: Ella Pickard| OR: 75

25/1

Maiden hurdler but she took really well to fences, bagging 3m1f handicaps at Newton Abbot and Wincanton when last seen out 17 months ago. No forlorn hope despite her lengthy absence.

Form: 222131-

Totowolfe³⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 10-2| J: James Davies| T: N J Hawke| OR: 72| D

20/1

Irish point winner who has shown only poor form over hurdles and fences, pulled up in 3m1f handicap chase at Hereford last time. Hard to warm to.

Form: 8-79P7P

Forecasts

Lock Out (7/2), Puddlesinthepark (4/1), Unspeakable (4/1), Jessmae (9/2), Redbridge Rambler (15/2), Macfin (11/1), Frankie Roy (12/1), Totowolfe (20/1), Janeslittlevoice (25/1)

UNSPEAKABLE posted a good second at Taunton last time out and is taken to gain a deserved first win in this sphere at the chief expense of in-form Puddlesinthepark. Lock Out is another who can have a say if on song.
