Flashman^b¹²³

Age: 9| Weight: 12-1| J: Joshua Moore| T: G & J Moore| OR: 101

8/1

Hard to make a strong case for him having looked pretty laboured when last seen at Plumpton in December. Needs the break to have freshened him up.

Form: P-72247

Red Penny⁵⁴⁸

Age: 11| Weight: 11-12| J: Bryony Frost⁽³⁾| T: J D Frost| OR: 98

8/1

Fairly consistent when last seen but that was nearly two years ago. Questions to answer now on the back of a long absense and trip may be on the sharp side.

Form: 4/42232-

Very Live^t1,v⁶⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 11-8| J: R P McLernon| T: P R Webber| OR: 94

9/2

Not the most reliable and seemed to struggle with the step up in trip when pulled up at Lingfield (2m7½f, heavy) last time. Back over a shorter trip today and tongue tie goes on.

Form: 6UU-22P

Try Catch Me³⁷⁶

Age: 13| Weight: 11-4| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss Z C Davison| OR: 90| C

10/1

Another one coming here on the back of a long lay off. Did run in a point around this time last year. Yard that have had a terrific winter need to spark some life to be involved.

Form: 24663/5-

Burgess Dream¹⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 10-3| J: P J Brennan| T: Miss A M Newton-Smith| OR: 75

1/1

Been running off higher marks over hurdles of late. This represents a drop in class having run in a class 4 event last time and a return to fences could spark an improved effort. Should go well.

Form: U73338

Wish In A Well^b⁵⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 10-0| J: J J Burke| T: B I Case| OR: 66

7/1

Difficult to fancy on what we have seen this winter. 6lbs out of the weights here.

Forecasts

Burgess Dream (1/1), Very Live (9/2), Wish In A Well (7/1), Red Penny (8/1), Flashman (8/1), Try Catch Me (10/1)

Very Live is dangerous on a going day and whilst you couldn't discount Flashman, he would need to step up on what he was showing when last seen. The safest option is BURGESS DREAM. Having been running in a higher grade over hurdles recently, the return to the larger obstacles could see him back in the winners enclosure.
