Plantaroma¹⁸³

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Callum Pritchard⁽⁵⁾| T: T Symonds| OR: 104

9/4

Still a maiden but she ended last term in good form, not seen to ideal effect when third of 11 in handicap hurdle at Hereford (16.2f, good) in Aprl. Not taken lightly on her return.

Form: 243F23-

Bread And Butter^t³⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 11-12| J: Lewis Saunders⁽⁵⁾| T: Cynthia Woods| OR: 102| D

33/1

Won a trio of hurdles for Olly Murphy last November/December. Easily best run for his current yard when seventh of 15 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (19.9f, good) 36 days ago. Needs considering.

Form: 374-7P7

Irisante⁵³

Age: 4| Weight: 11-11| J: Kielan Woods| T: D J Jeffreys| OR: 103

66/1

Fairly useful form over hurdles for Hugo Merienne in France but she hasn't got near that level on these shores, a well-held third of 5 in 2m Newton Abbot novice 53 days ago. More needed now going into handicaps.

Form: 37237-3

Icaque de L'Isle²⁵³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: Harry Bannister| T: R Bandey| OR: 100

8/1

Gained a deserved success in 4-runner handicap hurdle at Lingfield (23f, heavy) in February but not seen out after. Has gone well off a break though so can't be discounted.

Form: 5/24531-

My Cullen¹⁸⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-10| J: Brendan Powell| T: Miss H C Knight| OR: 100

11/1

Advanced his form on his handicap debut when second of 12 at Fontwell (19.1f, good) in Aprl. One to consider with few miles still on the clock.

Form: 639552-

Pertemps Diamond⁵⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: S Bowen| T: O Murphy| OR: 97

5/4

Took a big step forward on just his second run for current yard when bagging 12-runner handicap hurdle at Fontwell (19.1f, good) 54 days ago. Hiked up 8 lb but still expected to be bang there.

Form: 66P8/71

Reel Orange²²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: James Davies| T: C J Down| OR: 95WS

33/1

Didn't prove easy to catch right last term and he was pulled up on his handicap debut at Exeter (18.5f, good to soft) in March. Needs to hit the ground running on his seasonal return.

Form: 23536P-

Dearkeithandkaty²³

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 96

28/1

Shaped encouragingly when third in a Hereford bumper on his debut last December but he has cut little ice in three subsequent runs over hurdles. Needs this switch to handicaps to spark major improvement.

Form: 343-9

Harry Junior^t1³⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-5| J: Jack Tudor| T: D Pipe| OR: 81

13/2

Closely related to useful hurdler Harry Senior but hasn't shown much in a bumper/3 hurdles so far. Tongue tied for his handicap bow with plenty to prove.

Form: 58P-9

Forecasts

Pertemps Diamond (5/4), Plantaroma (9/4), Harry Junior (13/2), Sun Joy (13/2), Icaque de L'Isle (8/1), My Cullen (11/1), Dearkeithandkaty (28/1), Bread And Butter (33/1), Reel Orange (33/1), Irisante (66/1)

PERTEMPS DIAMOND was much improved on his handicap debut for Olly Murphy when going in at Fontwell and can make light of an 8 lb weights rise with few miles still on the clock. Plantaroma proved a reliable sort last term and could emerge as the chief threat on her seasonal return ahead of My Cullen and Icaque De L'Isle.
