Bob Maxwell¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: C Poste| T: R Dickin

100/1

Struggled in two hurdles starts since joining this stable and likely to be of more interest once tackling handicap company.

Form: 08

Family Man⁹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Jack Savage⁽⁷⁾| T: N & W Twiston-Davies

66/1

Placed in a couple of Irish point-to-points last spring. Well beaten on Rules debut in October however and others hold stronger claims.

Form: 3-25

Gaelic Poet^t³⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: James Bowen| T: Tim Vaughan

20/1

Returning from wind surgery when finishing 13L fourth over an extended 2m at Taunton (good) last month. Interesting to see if he can repeat that effort.

Form: 9-994

Game In The Park^t¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Stan Sheppard⁽³⁾| T: Mrs Tracey Barfoot-Saunt| OR: 94

100/1

Failed to figure in seven starts under Rules so far including on handicap debut at Uttoxeter (2m, soft) last time out.

Mayohill²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Joe Anderson⁽¹⁰⁾| T: N & W Twiston-Davies

50/1

Point-to-point winner on heavy ground last April. Signs of ability in a couple of hurdles starts since joining this yard but more needed if he's to take this event.

Form: 3615-57

Monk's View¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: N de Boinville| T: B Pauling

25/1

Stepped up on hurdles debut when finishing fourth over an extended 2m5f at Wincanton (good) earlier this month. Further improvement needed if he's to register a victory in this contest.

Form: 080-64

Rapper³⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: R Johnson| T: H D Daly

11/8

Career best effort when finishing third of 18 over an extended 2m at Bangor (soft) last time out. Step up in trip should suit and looks likely to play a leading role.

Form: 3463

Reve^h1,t1²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: L P Aspell| T: M Keighley| OR: 120

9/2

Placed in a 3m novice hurdle at Southwell (good) in November. Fell two out when leading at Leicester (good-to-firm) subsequently and this looks a weaker contest than the Ascot race he contested last time. Hood and tongue tie applied.

Form: 72F8

Stop The World²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Wayne Hutchinson| T: T R George

3/1

Placed in a bumper at Bangor (good-to-soft) last spring. Promising 15L sixth over an extended 2m3f at Chepstow (soft) on hurdling debut last time out and improvement likely.

Form: 2/43-6

Sudden Destination²⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: Dr R D P Newland

9/2

Placed in a Ballinrobe (2m1f, good) bumper in May 2017. Fair 28L fourth in a 2m4f maiden hurdle at Uttoxeter (heavy) on debut for this stable last month and interesting to see how he fares.

Form: P3/2-4

All Change²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: R P McLernon| T: P R Webber

100/1

Placed in a 2m bumper at Uttoxeter (good) in June. Struggled since and probably best watched having pulled up last time out.

Form: 87-300P

Organdi⁵⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: Brendan Powell| T: R T Phillips

33/1

Good second in a bumper over an extended 1m7f at Wincanton (good) on debut last May. Disappointed at Southwell (good) on return from a break however and makes her debut over hurdles.

Form: 28

Shelcomeonfordrun³⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: M G Nolan| T: K Woollacott

25/1

Signs of ability in point-to-points and bumpers in Ireland. Won a 3m point-to-point at Wadebridge (good) last time out and is making her debut over hurdles.

Forecasts

Rapper (11/8), Stop The World (3/1), Reve (9/2), Sudden Destination (9/2), Do It For Thy Sen (14/1), Gaelic Poet (20/1), Monk's View (25/1), Shelcomeonfordrun (25/1), Organdi (33/1), Mayohill (50/1), Family Man (66/1), Bob Maxwell (100/1), Game In The Park (100/1), All Change (100/1)

RAPPER has shown good form over hurdles so far and he is taken to get off the mark by taking this competitive maiden event. The selection should appreciate the forecast underfoot conditions and he can get the better of Reve who was running well wen falling last time out. third place can go the way of Stop The World who performed well at Chepstow last time.
