L'Inganno Felice^h²⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: Ross Chapman⁽³⁾| T: I Jardine| OR: 117| CD

6/5

Done well on AW last couple of seasons and has already shown ability obver timber, winning nicely over C&D last time on just his second start. This looks a fine opportunity to follow up as long as the ground doesn't dry out.

Form: 31-

Best To Come⁵⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: P J Brennan| T: T R George

12/1

Stowaway gelding cost €64,000 as a three-year-old. Raceourse bow in March in Ludlow bumper, running green for much of the way and finishing down the field. Sure to have benefitted from the experience and a fair hurdles debut is quite possible.

Form: 6-

Mac Tottie¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: S Bowen| T: P & M Bowen

4/1

Runner-up in three of four bumpers for Neil Mulholland before joined current yard last monthand made modest hurdling debut at Uttoxeter. More needed but clearly does possess some ability.

Form: 4222-5

Tayzar²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: B S Hughes| T: Ruth Jefferson| OR: 117

7/4

Drops back in trip having struggled to see out extra distance when runner-up here last month. Decent second at this track in November over 2m2f and has top jockey on board.

Form: 5/7242-

Investigation^h¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-8| J: Benjamin Poste| T: S A Harris

100/1

Shown nothing in three starts so far over timber and looks out of sorts. Won three-runner Yarmouth maiden last term on Flat but clearly flattered by that success and is readily overlooked.

Form: 6PR-0

Lady Samback^h,t¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-5| J: Dale Irving⁽³⁾| T: M A Barnes

50/1

Third in Perth bumper last July. Shaped with a modicum of promise on hurdles bow at Ayr recently, racing in touch until weakening 2 out. May do a little better but others are preferred.

Form: 0/536-8

Rosie Hall²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-5| J: Joe Williamson⁽⁷⁾| T: J S Wainwright

150/1

Hasn't beaten a horse home in her last 8 starts and remains a maiden after 32 career starts. Long odds-on to still be a maiden after 33 starts.

Form: 60/P-

In the hope the ground doesn't dry out from the current good description, recent C&D winner L'INGANNO FELICE has a fine chance of building on his pleasing recent victory to successfully concede weight all round. Best To Come is open to considerable improvement from his debut bumper run, while the frustrating Mac Tottie shouldn't be far away either. Tayzar has struggled to find his trip but a good run is not out of the question for a horse who has ability.
