10/3

On a losing run but he arrives in very good nick, second of 11 in 3m handicap hurdle here 21 days ago. Up 2 lb but another bold showing is on the cards.

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Lewis Dobb⁽⁶⁾| T: A M Thomson| OR: 97| D

10/1

Resumed winning ways at Musselburgh in November and in good form since, though fell 3rd there (19.8f, good) 54 days ago. Can give a good account after a break.

Age: 8| Weight: 11-8| J: Dominic Hislop⁽¹⁰⁾| T: N W Alexander| OR: 93| D

9/2

It's now 13 runs since his last win in 2023 but not disgraced when sixth of 11 in handicap hurdle here (23.9f, soft) 21 days ago. Possibilities with a visor added.

Intertwine¹¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: Lewis Stones| T: J Candlish| OR: 91

22/1

Ex-Irish maiden hurdler. Caught the eye on yard debut when patiently-ridden tenth at Uttoxeter in December and never threatened when fifth of 7 in 2m3f Catterick novice following month. Could still do better now going into handicaps. Worth a market check.

Form: 00/P405-

Tread Softly Now^p²²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Alan Doyle| T: I A Duncan| OR: 90

14/1

Has improved since the cheekpieces went on, scoring at Ayr and Kelso in 2025. Only tenth of 14 in handicap back at Kelso (20.9f, good to soft) 22 days ago but she still merits consideration.

Form: P19210-

Not In Kansas^p,t⁵⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-1| J: Joe Williamson| T: N W Alexander| OR: 86| CD

12/1

Took this 12 months ago but pulled up lame in first-time cheekpieces in handicap hurdle at Musselburgh (19.8f, good) 54 days ago. Needs to bounce back.

Form: 93764P-

Shadowfax Of Rohan^t²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: Joshua Thompson⁽⁶⁾| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 86

9/4

Maiden hurdler took a step forward on his handicap debut when third of 15 here (16.2f, soft) 20 days ago. Back up in trip and needs considering.

Form: 24P953-

Golden Moonshake^p,t²²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-6| J: Ben Bromley| T: N J Hawke| OR: 77

13/2

Got back on track after 7 months off when second of 7 in handicap hurdle at Hereford (19.7f, good) 22 days ago. Not ruled out in his bid for a maiden victory.

Form: 9/739P2-

Ivynator¹⁹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-2| J: Peter Kavanagh| T: Mrs J C McGregor| OR: 70

80/1

A one-time fair Flat winner for Charlie Fellowes. Not so good for current yard, though he wasn't disgraced when seventh of 14 in handicap hurdle at Newcastle (16.9f, good) 6 months ago. Needs to hit the ground running from 3 lb "wrong" in the weights.

Form: 48/50P7-

Forecasts

Shadowfax Of Rohan (9/4), Follow Charlie (10/3), Maillot Blanc (9/2), Golden Moonshake (13/2), Theirshegoes (10/1), Not In Kansas (12/1), Tread Softly Now (14/1), Intertwine (22/1), Ivynator (80/1)

A tight-knit handicap but FOLLOW CHARLIE rates just the pick of the weights and is taken to gain a deserved victory at the chief expense of in-form Theirshegoes who also figures on a lenient mark. Tread Softly Now is another who can have a say in a very open contest, while Intertwine is worth keeping an eye on in the betting.
