Prouts Pub⁵⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Nick Scholfield| T: N J Gifford| OR: 118

15/2

Both wins over hurdles have come here. Out of form this season, which has been the case with most horses from this yard.

Form: P8/5782-

King Cool⁴⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: J E Moore| T: G & J Moore| OR: 115

11/4

Has been out of form this season and steadily coming down the weights. Will find his mark before long and the market will probably indicate when that is the case.

Form: 99U725-

Ossie's Dancer²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: Tom Cheesman⁽⁵⁾| T: Martin Smith| OR: 113

5/1

Handicap mark is now 13lb lower than for his latest success at Plumpton in May 2015. Ground conditions have come right for him and this is his time of year.

Form: 9/P754-2

Kentford Heiress¹¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: Daniel Sansom⁽¹⁰⁾| T: J W Mullins| OR: 113

10/1

Record here is 3-5 including two over this trip. 4lb above last winning mark and ground conditions are forecast to be in her favour. Off the track since December and will probably need the run.

Form: 193534-

Carnspindle²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: G Sheehan| T: W Greatrex| OR: 111

9/2

Made all to score last time and jumped a lot better for it. Steps up in trip but has the pedigree to see it out. Ground conditions should produce some improvement too. Bumper form suggests she could be let in lightly here (beat 127 rated Pearl Royale). Trainer and jockey have an impressive strike rate around here.

Form: 45

Miss Yeats²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Tom Cannon| T: Mrs L J Mongan| OR: 106

12/1

£30,000 purchase with bags of stamina in her pedigree. Up further in distance here for handicap debut with top local rider booked. Yard have had just one NH winner this season from 32 runners and that came last May.

Form: 45/3526-

Stiff Upper Lip^b⁶¹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-11| J: L P Aspell| T: O Sherwood| OR: 103

5/1

Sent off favourite and well beaten here last time when he had a lot going for him. The stable are still struggling for winners.

Form: 593/485-

The Game Is A Foot³⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 10-10| J: Frankie Penford⁽¹⁰⁾| T: Miss Z C Davison| OR: 102

20/1

Both wins have come at Plumpton. Soundly beaten at Wetherby when well supported and is 4lb higher in the weights today. That run may have come too soon for him and he has had a few weeks to recover now.

Forecasts

King Cool (11/4), Carnspindle (9/2), Ossie's Dancer (5/1), Stiff Upper Lip (5/1), Land League (5/1), Prouts Pub (15/2), Kentford Heiress (10/1), Brass Monkey (10/1), Miss Yeats (12/1), Belmont Park (14/1), The Game Is A Foot (20/1)

CARNSPINDLE has only had the three runs over hurdles and may have more to offer now handicapping. She had good form in bumpers and now that she has brushed up her jumping she can build on her latest success for a trainer/jockey combination that do well here. Land League is interesting now handicapping and stepping up in distance. He looks on a reasonable mark and the yard's horses have been going well of late. Ossie's Dancer has been waiting for faster ground. He usually comes to hand at this time of year and he goes well for today's rider.
