Dirty Dexter^p,t²⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: L Heard| T: G Harris| OR: 69

25/1

Pulled up on his last three starts and would be receiving plenty of weight from the principals if this was a handicap.

Form: P-P4PPP

Igougo^h1,t1⁵⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: Matt Griffiths| T: J Scott

20/1

Tailed off on his only bumper start and pulled up on hurdling debut. Hood fitted now and that makes him even less appealing.

Form: 6P

Spin The Beat¹⁰⁵⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-1| J: Dave Crosse| T: D Faulkner

20/1

Has finished last on both starts under rules but did win a point-to-point three years ago. Not seen since and likely to need this.

Form: 571/

Under The Woods^p1,t1¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: Conor Ring⁽³⁾| T: Evan Williams| OR: 100

1/4

Progressive sort who took another step forward on first venture in handicap company. Dropped in grade and headgear applied by in form yard.

Form: 0332

Nanny Makfi^t³¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-8| J: G Sheehan| T: B Barr

20/1

Made the frame five times from 10 starts on turf on the Flat (rated 51) at up to 1m4f and showed she handles cut in the ground. Last of eleven on hurdling debut but worth a check in the market dropped in grade and in receipt of a generous allowance.

Form: 0

Oh Dear Oh Dear⁸⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 10-8| J: H Cobden| T: R J Hodges| OR: 67

5/1

15-race maiden who has done well to make the frame here and at Chepstow this winter. Well beaten last time though and would be receiving more weight if this was a handicap.

Form: 8FP430

Forecasts

Under The Woods (1/4), Indian Reel (9/2), Oh Dear Oh Dear (5/1), Nanny Makfi (20/1), Igougo (20/1), Spin The Beat (20/1), Dirty Dexter (25/1)

This looks a virtual match between UNDER THE WOODS and Indian Reel. The latter has won a claimer this year and his ability to stay 3m will be an advantage around here. However, the selection has progressed steadily and meets Fergal O'Briens charge on 10lb better term than he would in a handicap. The rest amount to little but Nanny Makfi's Flat form would make her dangerous if building on an inauspicious hurdling debut.
