Shanroe Tic Tec^b³^{(ex 7)}

Age: 7| Weight: 12-7| J: Lily Pinchin⁽⁷⁾| T: B Pauling| OR: 112| D

13/8

Winner of all three starts since returning from a break most recently when victorious by 2L under this rider over an extended 2m at Market Rasen (good) three days ago. Bold show likely under a penalty.

Form: F99111

Three County's^h1⁷⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-10| J: Brendan Powell| T: O Murphy| OR: 108WS

22/1

Signs of ability in three starts over hurdles and had wind surgery since finishing 30L ninth over 2m at Chepstow (good-to-soft) in January. Wears a hood for the first time on handicap debut following a break.

Form: R469

Dun Bay Creek¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-5| J: David Noonan| T: R Brotherton| OR: 103

50/1

Failed to finish on two most recent starts including when pulled up over an extended 2m5f at Hereford (good-to-soft) on stable debut earlier this month. Returning from a lengthy absence that day and others make more appeal.

Form: 4P17/F-P

Tigeralley^p⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 11-4| J: William Marshall⁽¹⁰⁾| T: D Skelton| OR: 102

7/1

Put a fall over fences behind her when winning by 8L over this trip on heavy going at Uttoxeter a week ago. Cheekpieces worn for the first time that day are retained and she is a leading contender in this event.

Form: 0523F1

Twotwothree^h²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: P J Brennan| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 101

7/4

Well held 35L fifth over 2m4f at Sedgefield (good-to-soft) earlier this month and probably best watched having placed once from seven previous hurdles starts.

Form: 775385

Comber Mill^t¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Andrew Tinkler| T: A Ralph| OR: 100

6/1

Improving with racing since returning from a break and ran well to finish third over 2m at Plumpton (soft) just under a fortnight ago. Interesting contender racing off the same mark on this occasion.

Form: U7PF63

Racing Spirit⁵²²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-4| J: Lee Edwards| T: Dave Roberts| OR: 88

20/1

19 race maiden finished a good ½L second in a 2m7f handicap hurdle at Worcester (good) in October 2017. Unraced since and best watched on his return to action.

Form: 3/37032-

Forecasts

Shanroe Tic Tec (13/8), Twotwothree (7/4), Comber Mill (6/1), Tigeralley (7/1), Snougar (12/1), Racing Spirit (20/1), Three County's (22/1), Dun Bay Creek (50/1)

SHANROE TIC TEC has been in good form of late and he can complete a four-timer by taking this competitive looking handicap hurdle. The selection was a winner a week ago and can get the better of another recent winner in Tigeralley. Third place can go to Three County's who is making his handicap debut for a useful yard.
