The Happy Chappy^t¹⁶⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Nick Scholfield| T: Mrs S J Humphrey| OR: 117| DWS

5/1

Twice a winner last season but failed to build on a good fourth at Ludlow (3m, good) in April when well held at Uttoxeter (3m2f, good) the following month. Returning from a break following a wind operation.

Form: 21184-9

The Paddy Pie²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: Danny Cook| T: J Parkinson & S Smith| OR: 116

5/2

Improved in novice hurdle company this summer and ran with plenty of promise on chase debut at Hexham last time. Every chance this step up in trip will suit and ought to run well from this workable handicap mark.

Form: 9P-8212

Shady Glen^b,t⁶⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 11-10| J: Kielan Woods| T: D Killahena & G McPherson| OR: 115| DWS

8/1

Won back-to-back 3m chases at Market Rasen either side of the winter but seemingly lost his way throughout 2018 and hard to fancy in current form. Has first start since a wind operation and back below his last winning handicap mark at least.

Form: 13P676

Fingerontheswitch^p,t³²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-10| J: Adrian Heskin| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 115| CD

2/1

C&D winner in January 2017. Just won once when campaigned over hurdles last year but back below his last winning mark in this sphere and may improve from his reappearance at Southwell on first start since a wind op.

Form: 0-13854

Kilfinichen Bay^p,t²⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 11-9| J: J J Burke| T: C E Longsdon| OR: 114| D

4/1

Capitalised from a much reduced mark at Cartmel in the summer and bounced back from a couple of below par runs at Fontwell last time when runner-up. Not consistent but capable off this sort of mark.

Form: 9P1432

Forecasts

Fingerontheswitch (2/1), The Paddy Pie (5/2), Steps And Stairs (7/2), Kilfinichen Bay (4/1), Lord County (4/1), The Happy Chappy (5/1), Shady Glen (8/1), Knocknamona (10/1), Chase The Wind (14/1), Square Viviani (14/1)

STEPS AND STAIRS has an excellent record when fresh and has looked like an improver since joining this yard. The Paddy Pie is the main danger with the step up in trip likely to suit while Kilfinichen Bay is capable off this sort of mark if he's on a going day.
