Cinnodin^b¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: G Sheehan| T: Jamie Snowden| OR: 100

13/2

A fairly useful 2m Flat winner for Richard Hughes. Changed hands for 27,000 gns and easily best run for new yard when second of 5 in novice hurdle at Southwell (20.4f, good to firm) 19 days ago. Starts life in handicaps on a good mark so holds leading claims.

Form: 632

Blue In The West⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-5| J: Callum Pritchard⁽⁵⁾| T: B Lund| OR: 91

9/1

Remains a maiden after 18 runs but he posted a good fourth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Hereford (25.5f, good to firm) 8 days ago. Shortlisted.

Form: 78-24F4

Unspeakable^p,t⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-9| J: Jack Tudor| T: Christian Williams| OR: 81| D

9/2

Resumed winning ways with a career best in 9-runner handicap chase at Hereford (25.2f, good to firm) 8 days ago. Back over hurdles now but can't be discounted.

Form: 355231

Danzini^p,t⁶¹

Age: 9| Weight: 10-6| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: Kieran Burke| OR: 78

7/1

A fair winning hurdler who still looked in need of the run when seventh of 10 in handicap hurdle at Newton Abbot (26.5f, good) 61 days ago. Cheekpieces go back on now and needs considering.

Form: 9353-97

Mind Hunter^b,t⁴⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 10-3| J: Ben Jones| T: B J Llewellyn| OR: 75

3/1

On a long losing run but he posted a good fourth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (23.3f, good) 40 days ago. Very much one to consider eased 1 lb.

Form: 8/0P8-24

Stage Show^p,t³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-3| J: Isabelle Ryder⁽⁷⁾| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR: 75

9/2

Long-standing maiden who fared better than of late (in first-time cheekpieces) when fourth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Plumpton (15.9f, good to firm) 30 days ago. Possibilities.

Form: 692-974

Testflight³

Age: 8| Weight: 10-2| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽³⁾| T: Mrs S Gardner| OR: 74

4/1

Arrives in good nick under both codes, third of 6 in handicap chase at Newton Abbot (25.8f, good to soft) 3 days ago. Must enter calculations once more.

Form: 212533

Forecasts

Mind Hunter (3/1), Testflight (4/1), Stage Show (9/2), Unspeakable (9/2), Cinnodin (13/2), Danzini (7/1), Blue In The West (9/1)

None of these can be ruled out but the vote goes to CINNODIN who looks to start life in handicaps on an attractive mark and can go one better than his recent Southwell second. Mind Hunter is feared most on the back of a good Uttoxeter fourth with Testflight and Unspeakable also firmly in the picture.
