14/1

Three-time winner over hurdles at up to 2m5f for Dan Skelton in 2016/17. Didn't complete in his final two starts over fences for that yard, hood applied now on debut for new handler and must bounce back.

Form: 4/3-62FP

Town Parks³⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: R Patrick⁽³⁾| T: Kerry Lee| OR: 128| BF

5/2

Successful twice in novice handicap chases around this trip last season and comes here on the back of fine second at Hereford over trip shorter than ideal. Contender in this small field event.

Form: F4-PB22

Stamp Your Feet^t²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: J J Burke| T: T R George| OR: 125

6/1

Decent handicap hurdler, made promising start over fences at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) in January when taking second spot. Brought down next time and disappointing over 3m at Exeter since; retains scope for better.

Form: P-082B8

Western Miller^p1,t⁴⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-1| J: Aidan Coleman| T: C E Longsdon| OR: 125| CD

5/1

Pulled up on his two most recent starts and just 1-12 over fences so far; needs the new cheekpieces to reinvigorate him.

Form: 2-553PP

Holbrook Park^t⁴²

Age: 9| Weight: 11-1| J: Harry Skelton| T: N B King| OR: 125

4/1

Three-time winner last season (remains 3lb higher than most recent win-mark) and has pulled up/refused to race in recent trips to the track. Others preferred.

Form: 41-24PR

The Bottom Bar²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: D A Jacob| T: N J Henderson| OR: 124

11/4

Hurdles winner who ran his best race in this sphere on the back of wind surgery when third at Ludlow over similar trip recently. Can be in the shake-up here.

Form: 232U63

Forecasts

Town Parks (5/2), The Bottom Bar (11/4), Holbrook Park (4/1), Western Miller (5/1), Stamp Your Feet (6/1), Aintree My Dream (14/1)

The Bottom Bar produced a better effort on his return having had wind surgery recently at Ludlow and needs consideration here but Hereford runner-up TOWN PARKS is favoured, with this step up in distance seemingly favourable for him. Stamp Your Feet is one that surely remains capable of better form.
