3/1

Had a cracking time of it over hurdles last term which included a couple of wins here. Ran poorly at Market Rasen after a promising debut over fences but could do better back at this venue in a lower grade and interesting to see if the money comes.

Form: 582-964

Bob Ford³¹

Age: 12| Weight: 11-12| J: Lee Edwards| T: A Ralph| OR: 120| D

13/2

Won on debut for Richard Newland in October 2017 but form has gradually waned and although slightly better after a wind operation last time, needs to find a deal more.

Form: 5FPP-85

Burrenbridge Hotel³¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-9| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: Henry Oliver| OR: 117

9/1

Seemed to take well to fences with a pair of 2m wins a year ago but hit and miss this season and stamina to prove over this longer trip.

Form: P3-473P

Keep Moving⁴⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: M G Nolan| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 113| D

6/4

Much improved for the step up to this trip with an emphatic win at Warwick last month. 9lb rise fully deserved and now that connections have found his trip, there should be more to come.

Form: 35/32-51

Carole's Vigilante^h⁴⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-5| J: Harry Bannister| T: H Whittington| OR: 113| D

7/2

Won a weak novice hurdle for previous yard a year ago. Clearly better was expected on chase/stable debut last month but was too keen and almost certainly capable of better. Interesting to see if the market speaks in his favour.

Form: 2/314-6

Pembroke House^p³¹

Age: 12| Weight: 10-5| J: R Patrick⁽³⁾| T: S-J Davies| OR: 99

20/1

In good heart until a couple of below par efforts of late and still above his last winning mark and others preferred.

Form: 2-12266

Forecasts

Keep Moving (6/4), Cave Top (3/1), Carole's Vigilante (7/2), Bob Ford (13/2), Burrenbridge Hotel (9/1), Pembroke House (20/1)

KEEP MOVING looked a big improver at this trip last time and as a low mileage sort, there should be more to come. Cave Top is of interest back at this track as he is surely capable of better than shown over fences and Carole's Vigilante should do better in due course.
