16/1

7/1

Career best when winning 7-runner handicap hurdle at Hexham (23f, good, 14/1) 19 days ago, well on top finish. Should remain competitive off 5 lb higher.

Form: 04-41

Evies Court²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Mr D McGill⁽⁷⁾| T: N C Kelly| OR: 88

7/2

Poor form in Ireland, including 2 handicaps over 2½m. Stable no stranger to success here but she'll need to find significant improvement for the step up in trip.

Form: 6/0007-9

Not In Kansas^t²⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 10-13| J: Bruce Lynn| T: N W Alexander| OR: 85| C

Form: 3764P-4

King Coconut⁶¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-10| J: Danny McMenamin| T: N G Richards| OR: 82

18/1

In need of experience in maiden/novice hurdles at up to 19f at Carlisle this spring. Potential improver in handicaps over longer trips. All the more interesting if backed.

Form: 9P5-

Burgundy Man^p⁴⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 10-8| J: Nathan Moscrop| T: R M Smith| OR: 80

20/1

Maiden who posted his best effort of the season in first-time cheekpieces when creditable fourth in handicap at Ayr (19.5f, good to soft) in October. However, offered little back from 6 months off when tenth of 15 in handicap hurdle at this course (2m) 45 days ago. Significantly up in trip now.

Form: 556840-

Strike Of Lighting^h,t⁵⁷⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 10-5| J: Edward Austin⁽⁵⁾| T: G Bewley| OR: 77

25/1

Winner at Cartmel in May 2023 but not seen since finishing sixth at Kelso in November of that year. Has a hood and tongue tie combined for first time. Betting perhaps the best guide to expectations given the length of absence.

Forecasts

The Flying Poet (9/5), Evies Court (7/2), Donso Star (9/2), Man Of Action (7/1), Not In Kansas (8/1), Dalileo (16/1), Thatsy (16/1), King Coconut (18/1), Burgundy Man (20/1), Strike Of Lighting (25/1), Nowinittowinit (80/1)

Olly Murphy's THE FLYING POET is given the nod to build on a promising start to his handicap career at Ffos Las last month. The consistent Donso Star should be on the premises if her stamina holds now moving up to 3m, while King Coconut is an unexposed handicap newcomer who would firmly enter the reckoning should the betting speak in his favour..
