Fell over the Grand National fences in April and well held over C&D when making his debut for this stable last month. Others make more appeal.

Successful off a 3lb lower mark over C&D in March last year and narrowly beaten when finishing fourth over an extended 1m7f at Towcester (heavy) last month. Interesting runner today.

Age: 6|  Weight: 11-9| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams| OR:  110| BF
Maiden after seven starts but put in one of his better efforts when finishing runner-up over 2m4f at Sandown (soft) in early February. Disappointed later that month however.

Age: 9|  Weight: 11-7| J: Lucy Gardner(3)| T: Mrs S Gardner| OR:  108| C

Age: 5|  Weight: 11-7| J: H Cobden| T: C L Tizzard| OR:  108
Six race maiden and refused to race at Taunton when returning from a break last month. Probably best watched at present.
9
Horse silk
Tudors Treasurep10
Age: 7|  Weight: 11-4| J: T J O'Brien| T: R Stephens| OR:  105
Good effort in finishing 3L second over 2m4f at Ffos Las (heavy) in February and finished a fair fourth in a better race subsequently. Has won over further in the past.

Horse silk
Great Tempop12
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-4| J: T Scudamore| T: D Pipe| OR:  105
Placed over C&D when returning from a break last time out. Has escaped a rise for that effort and is one for the shortlist in this contest.

Forecasts

Billy Hicks (3/1), Take A Break (4/1), Garde Forestier (6/1), Great Tempo (13/2), Holdbacktheriver (7/1), Tea Time Fred (8/1), Tudors Treasure (10/1), Robinroyale (12/1), No No Mac (20/1), Flo'sboy Sam (25/1)

Verdict

BILLY HICKS finished a close fourth last time out and he can register his second victory over today's C&D by taking this competitive looking handicap hurdle. Tudors Treasure has won over further in the past and can finish second today while bottom weight Great Tempo is taken to finish third receiving weight from all bar one of his rivals.
  1. Billy Hicks
  2. Tudors Treasure
  3. Great Tempo
