Village Master¹³⁰

5/2

Form: 1-111P4

Mortens Leam²⁷

Age: 13| Weight: 11-8| J: Harry Reed| T: M Hawker| OR: 104| C

6/1

Veteran course winner who capitalised on reduced mark to open his account for the season in handicap chase at Fakenham (21.2f) in January. Backed it up with a solid third at Stratford 27 days ago so needs considering.

Form: U-44413

John The Spark¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: Brendan Powell| T: K Jewell| OR: 103

25/1

A fair maiden hurdler who has been below form both runs for his new yard, only fourth of six in 2m5f handicap chase here two weeks ago. More is required.

Form: 500364

Hill Of Tara⁷¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-6| J: Ned Fox⁽³⁾| T: Miss V Williams| OR: 102| BF| D

6/1

A fair 3m2f winner over hurdles but he failed to build on chasing debut promise when pulled up in handicap chase at Leicester (22.7f, heavy) 71 days ago. Needs to bounce back.

Form: 1F37-5P

Sangiovese^v1¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Tom Cannon| T: G & J Moore| OR: 100

15/8

Unreliable sort but he got off the mark over fences in 6-runner handicap at Huntingdon (23.6f, good) 14 days ago. Visor replaces blinkers now and can't be ruled out if on his A-game again.

Form: 22-7531

Uallrightharry^p⁸⁹

Age: 13| Weight: 10-10| J: M Goldstein| T: K Jewell| OR: 92| CD

16/1

Veteran who revived all of a sudden to capitalise on reduced mark over 27f here in January but his record suggests he's not an obvious type to follow up.

Form: 1P-8P51

Constant Friday²³

Age: 10| Weight: 10-2| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽³⁾| T: R Rowe| OR: 76

15/2

Got off the mark in handicap hurdle at Plumpton (20.5f) in April 2022. However, after an absence of nearly 3 years he hasn't offered much this season. 8 lb "wrong" in the weights too.

Forecasts

Sangiovese (15/8), Village Master (5/2), Hill Of Tara (6/1), Mortens Leam (6/1), Constant Friday (15/2), Uallrightharry (16/1), Animal (16/1), John The Spark (25/1), Autumn Philtre (80/1)

A number of these arrive with a question mark against them and the vote goes to VILLAGE MASTER who can boast a C&D win and got back on track when fourth at Plumpton last time out. In-form veteran Mortens Leam is next on the list ahead of the enigmatic Sangiovese.
