11/8

Good effort in finishing third in a six runner handicap chase at Warwick (2m, good) in January but held over 1m7f at Wetherby (good) the following month; faller since at Hereford and best form on softer going.

Age: 7| Weight: 10-2| J: J M Quinlan| T: R Dickin| OR: 106| D

6/4

Well weighted in comparison to his hurdles form and has so far been consistent over fences. Yet to win in this sphere, and pulled up last time at Taunton (2m2f, good). Cheekpieces/tongue tie added, chance on best form.

Billy Hicks¹⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: David England| T: S Drinkwater| OR: 98| CD

11/4

Dual hurdles scorer in March 2017 (2m-2m3f+); connections have sought to exploit a marginally lower handicap mark over fences; with limited success in three runs. Another that might prefer an ease underfoot, not without a chance in small field.

Form: 645-438

Age: 14| Weight: 10-0| J: Miss L Brooke⁽⁷⁾| T: Lady S Brooke| OR: 78| D

33/1

Winless since Hereford handicap chase (2m5f, soft) in December 2017 and two recent runs done little for optimism. Running from out of the handicap and surely up against it again.

Form: RPP646

Forecasts

Baby King (11/8), All Is Good (6/4), Billy Hicks (11/4), Spock (33/1)

He must be forgiven a poor run at Taunton 19 days ago but, if putting that behind him, the previous couple of efforts from ALL IS GOOD since wind surgery would see him holding strong claims here. He gets an array of headgear in his bounce-back mission and appeals most based on those runs at Huntingdon and Leicester in February. Baby King came a cropper at Hereford recently but isn't without a chance and is still learning this trade whilst Billy Hicks should take care of Spock on these terms.
