Paddocks Lounge¹⁵⁶

Age: 11| Weight: 11-12| J: Harrison Beswick⁽⁷⁾| T: C Ellam| OR: 100WS

16/1

Won three sellers/claimers over hurdles last year for Sophie Leech. On a handy mark here judged on that form, but plenty to prove on his return from wind surgery.

Form: 13/646-P

Stormbay Bomber^p¹⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-0| J: Nathan Moscrop⁽⁵⁾| T: R Menzies| OR: 88

11/4

Reasonable efforts over shorter on his last two starts, and drops 2lb here. Frame claims again, but doesn't jump off the page as an obvious winner.

Form: 044423

Notonebuttwo⁹

Age: 11| Weight: 10-11| J: K Yeoman⁽¹⁰⁾| T: J Parkinson & S Smith| OR: 85| C

2/1

Should appreciate the return to this sort of trip and if that helps him back to the form of his Hexham run from this mark two starts ago, he has each-way claims again.

Form: P43-F24

Gin Cobbler⁵⁴⁴

Age: 12| Weight: 10-9| J: Ross Chapman⁽³⁾| T: V Thompson| OR: 83| C

25/1

C&D winning veteran who returns from an 18-month absence with an 8lb drop. Well treated on some early 2017 form, but hard to rave about his chance with fitness and well being to prove.

Form: 31F45/3-

Grow Nasa Grow³⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 10-7| J: B S Hughes| T: P Winks| OR: 81| D

13/8

Both wins have been at Market Rasen, over 2m3f/2m5½f and on good ground. 2lb higher than the latter here and if he can shrug off a disappointing effort last time, he has claims.

Form: 137517

Psychology^p,t¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: Kenny Johnson| OR: 74

40/1

Well held in all start over both hurdles and fences this season and can only watch.

Form: 0/P6044

Duhallowcountry^b¹⁶⁰

Age: 12| Weight: 10-0| J: C J Todd⁽⁷⁾| T: V Thompson| OR: 72| C

40/1

Dual course winner over 2m½f. Can't be ruled out of the frame in this line-up, but will need to be fully firing to do so from 2lb 'wrong'.

Form: 6P7-U46

Early Boy^e/s¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: Callum Bewley| T: A Crook| OR: 67

25/1

7lb 'wrong' and impossible to fancy on what we saw from his 90L defeat on his recent chase debut.

Form: P87-764

Forecasts

Grow Nasa Grow (13/8), Notonebuttwo (2/1), Stormbay Bomber (11/4), Paddocks Lounge (16/1), Early Boy (25/1), Gin Cobbler (25/1), Duhallowcountry (40/1), Psychology (40/1)

Very moderate fayre where GROW NASA GROW is a tentative suggestion, given a disappointing latest effort. However, consistency is not his strong suit, so perhaps he can bounce back to the form of his win two starts ago, over a trip that suits and with conditions in his favour. Stormbay Bomber and Notonebuttwo make greater appeal that the remainder as each-way players.
