Hassle^b²⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Charlie Hammond⁽⁷⁾| T: Dr R D P Newland| OR: 125| C

6/1

In good form during 2016 but well held in a Grade 3 at Haydock (good) on his return to action last month. Likely to perform better in this.

Form: 92116/9

All Together³⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: Tom Cannon| T: J Farrelly| OR: 119

9/2

Returning from over a year off when finishing runner-up over an extended 2m3f at Chepstow (soft) last time out. One to note off a mark 14lb lower than his chase rating.

Form: 25F2U/2-

Instant Karma^t¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: Lucy K Barry⁽⁵⁾| T: Jamie Snowden| OR: 118| D

Form: 12P/69-7

Desiremoi D'Authie^h²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Wayne Hutchinson| T: A King| OR: 117

6/1

Fair fifth at Warwick (2m, good) on his return from a break last time out. Interesting to see if he can improve on that on this occasion.

Form: 2603-5

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Harry Skelton| T: R C Guest| OR: 117

10/1

Finished runner-up on debut for this yard at Wetherby (soft) in January. Disappointing since and others make more appeal in this.

Handsome Dan^p²²

Age: 12| Weight: 11-2| J: R Patrick⁽⁵⁾| T: Sarah Hollinshead| OR: 115| CD

Bonne Question⁷³

Age: 9| Weight: 10-7| J: R Johnson| T: Miss V Williams| OR: 106

8/1

Justified odds-on favouritism on soft ground at Southwell in May 2016. Off for well over 18 months thereafter but improved on his return when finishing a close fifth at Wetherby (heavy) last time.

Form: 2221/95-

Banny's Lad¹¹⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 10-6| J: Harry Bannister| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 105| DWS

20/1

Successful twice over fences last year but struggled in three runs since returning from a break and has had wind surgery since finishing eighth at Southwell (soft) in February. Better ground forecast here in his favour.

Form: 5/13PP8-

Pixiepot⁶²

Age: 8| Weight: 10-4| J: B S Hughes| T: P D Niven| OR: 103| C

9/2

Stayed on well when winning over 2m1f at Carlisle (good-to-soft) at the end of March. Good second here prior to that and one to note despite an 8lb rise in the weights.

Form: 2/72321-

The Grinder⁴⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-4| J: James Bowen⁽³⁾| T: N Kent| OR: 103

7/1

Runner-up in a four runner contest on good ground over an extended 2m here in April. Step up in trip in his favour in this contest.

Form: 63/9862-

Forecasts

Pixiepot (9/2), All Together (9/2), Hassle (6/1), Desiremoi D'Authie (6/1), The Grinder (7/1), Bonne Question (8/1), Craggaknock (10/1), Impulsive American (14/1), Instant Karma (20/1), Handsome Dan (20/1), Banny's Lad (20/1), Bowie (25/1)

ALL TOGETHER ran well when returning to from over a year off the track at Chepstow last time and he can make a winning handicap debut over hurdles in this. The selection has run well on the forecast good ground in the past and can get the better of Hassle who should have improved for his latest outing. Banny's Lad has had wind surgery since his latest outing and he can finish third this time.
