Selected odds by:

Stream Of Stars¹⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 12-0| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 126| D

5/1

Resumed winning ways in 6-runner handicap hurdle at Bangor (16.7f, good to firm) 18 days ago. Up 4 lb but this veteran is not taken lightly.

Form: 65342-1

Luttrell Lad^p,t⁴⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 11-11| J: Cameron Iles⁽⁵⁾| T: T Lacey| OR: 123| D

7/2

Back to winning ways at Taunton in February and recorded a good fourth of 7 in handicap hurdle at Haydock (15.6f, good) 46 days ago. Must enter calculations off the same mark.

Form: 064174-

War Lord^p¹⁹⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 11-9| J: Freddie Gingell| T: J Tizzard| OR: 121| CWS

12/1

Twenty runs since his last win in 2022 and only fourth of 5 in handicap hurdle at Wincanton (19.8f) 6 months ago. Not easy to make a case for.

Form: 3U4324-

American Land^t²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Brendan Powell| T: J Tizzard| OR: 116| C

7/1

Gained a fourth win from his last five starts with a career best in 6-runner handicap here (18.5f, good to firm) 21 days ago. Up another 4 lb but a bold showing is on the cards once more.

Form: P1161-1

Balboa^p²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: M G Nolan| T: J W Mullins| OR: 115

16/1

On a long losing run and he came in just eighth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Hexham (20.1f, good to soft) 25 days ago. Others appeal more.

Form: 5P638-8

Get The Value²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-9| J: Kielan Woods| T: J G M O'Shea| OR: 107| C

11/4

Is going the right way and bids for a hat-trick following recent handicap victories at Stratford and here (18.5f, good to firm). Remains on a workable mark so he's a big player once more.

Form: 52PP1-1

Forecasts

Get The Value (11/4), Clearance (10/3), Luttrell Lad (7/2), Stream Of Stars (5/1), American Land (7/1), War Lord (12/1), Balboa (16/1)

GET THE VALUE arrives on an upward curve so is fancied to defy a further 7 lb rise and complete his hat-trick. Course specialist and dual winner of this Clearance rates a big danger, while both American Land and Stream of Stars can also have a say in this competitive handicap.
