7/2
Successful at Sedgefield last September when with previous yard but well beaten twice for current stable including at Uttoxeter last month. Has been dropped 8lb for that effort but more is needed here.

3/1
Yet to win in 14 outings over jumps (sole career win came on the Flat in 2014). Not beaten far on the Flat last time out and interesting to see how he fares in what looks a weak contest on his return to racing over jumps.

9/2
Sporting first time cheekpieces when pulled up on handicap debut at Taunton over 3m last month. Well beaten in four hurdles starts prior to that and any market support would be interesting.

6/1
Finished a distant second on heavy ground at Lingfield in December 2015 but no show in three hurdles outings in 2016 including when pulled up at Chepstow last time out. Hopes seem to rest with cheekpieces bringing about improvement.

20/1
Placed on the Flat in 2014 but well beaten in point-to-point's in 2016 and disappointing since returning to racing under rules this season. Well beaten at Wolverhampton on the Flat a month ago and makes her handicap debut over hurdles here.

7/1
Maiden after 27 outings and well beaten on the Flat since returning from an 11 month absence earlier this season. Rated 5lb lower than when 37L third at Fakenham on latest hurdles outing in November 2015 but yard out of form at present (0/21).

7/1
Twice a winner on the Flat including for this yard at Redcar in November 2015. Beaten 19L at Plumpton on his penultimate outing but pulled up on heavy ground at the same track latest. Needs to put that poor run behind him in first time visor here.

25/1
Less exposed than many in this race but now onto his third yard after just eight career outings. Two starts for this yard have been poor including in selling company last time out and plenty to prove on handicap debut here.

Forecasts

Gambol (3/1), Lucy Mc (7/2), One Brilliant Day (9/2), Get Ready Freddy (6/1), Mount Shamsan (7/1), New Tarabela (7/1), Musical Moon (20/1), Capatosta (25/1)

Verdict

A chance is taken on MOUNT SHAMSAN in this selling handicap hurdle. The selection has been dropped 7lb for his latest defeat but has a visor fitted for the first time and can get the better of the long-standing maiden New Tarabela and Gambol, who returns to hurdles following an outing on the Flat last time out.
  1. Mount Shamsan
  2. New Tarabela
  3. Gambol
