Oxwich Bay²⁸⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Mitchell Bastyan⁽⁵⁾| T: Evan Williams| OR: 115| BF

6/4

Very lightly raced and won a bumper last winter at Sedgefield before two good placed runs at Ffos Las and Ludlow. Apprentice jockey well worth his 5lb claim and can't be ruled out here.

Form: 9/132-

Inn The Bull²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-11| J: Wayne Hutchinson| T: A King| OR: 114| BF| D

5/1

Won his first two hurdle races at Ludlow and Worcester before respectable third at Huntingdon latest off top-weight in a handicap. Remains unexposed for top trainer and has to be considered here.

Form: 1-13

One For Billy^t²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-10| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 113| D

12/1

Promising Hexham novice winner who has been a shade disappointing in two subsequent handicaps at Uttoxeter and first time out this term at Fakenham. Has to prove capability off this mark but open to improvement.

Form: 633-193

Megabucks³⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: James Davies| T: Henry Oliver| OR: 113

6/1

Returned from a spell point-to-pointing last month and ran a cracking race to finish second over course and distance at 66/1. That his stable debut and could easily prove better than form under rules to date so handicap mark of interest.

Form: 544P1-2

I'll Be Your Clown²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr G Treacy⁽⁷⁾| T: S D Dixon| OR: 112| D

100/1

Won a couple of times for Dan Skelton last season but was ninth of 10 on stable debut at Wincanton last month at 100/1. Ease in his handicap not enough to recommend.

Form: 13-1359

Spiritual Man¹⁹³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Aidan Coleman| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 112

20/1

Yet to win in five hurdle races although may have won two starts ago but for a last hurdle blunder at Huntingdon. Back after a break and others preferred at present.

Form: 6442-6

Zen Master²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: Adrian Heskin| T: C J Mann| OR: 111

6/1

Off the mark over hurdles on second start for this yard last month when winning a maiden hurdle at Market Rasen. Appears to be improving as he heads into handicaps for first time.

Form: 0/642-31

Amadoue^h²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-8| J: R Johnson| T: T Lacey| OR: 111

12/1

Ran into third a couple of times in novice hurdles before possibly not staying over 2m4f at Wincanton latest. More to come from him but would need to step up today.

Form: 4335

Master Vintage^h²⁴³

Age: 9| Weight: 11-5| J: Daniel Hiskett⁽⁵⁾| T: R T Phillips| OR: 108| D

40/1

One of the elder statesmen of the contest although far from heavily raced. Three runs at the start of the year yielded a win first time back followed by two lesser efforts. Handicap of limited appeal but maybe first time is when to catch him.

Form: 883/146-

Blue Bullet^t²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: G Sheehan| T: Jamie Snowden| OR: 105

16/1

Upped in class and 100/1 latest after two poor runs in maiden hurdles so his 8½L sixth of 14 was a much improved effort. That run offers some hope.

Form: 0227-86

Maoi Chinn Tire^p³³

Age: 10| Weight: 11-1| J: Sean Quinlan| T: J Candlish| OR: 104| D

33/1

Veteran of 82 races who was a well beaten last on reappearance at Kelso. Hard to fancy in a field packed with young, likely improvers.

Form: 226-530

Non-Runners

Tinted Rose²⁹

Weight: 11-0| Age: 5

Forecasts

Oxwich Bay (6/4), Inn The Bull (5/1), Megabucks (6/1), Zen Master (6/1), One For Billy (12/1), Amadoue (12/1), Blue Bullet (16/1), Spiritual Man (20/1), Tinted Rose (20/1), Maoi Chinn Tire (33/1), Master Vintage (40/1), I'll Be Your Clown (100/1)

There are plenty of lightly raced hurdlers here capable of improvement. The vote goes to Alan King's INN THE BULL who has won two of his first three hurdle races and should have more to come in handicaps. Oxwich Bay twice ran well in deep ground last winter and almost certainly has more to come so he is another worth consideration. Zen Master looks to have improved since switched to Charlie Mann so he could well have more to come also.
