Canton Prince¹¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Alan Johns| T: Tim Vaughan| OR: 134| C

8/1

Course winner was returning from 11 months off the track when winning by 3L at Warwick (2m5f, good) in October. Well held in two subsequent starts and worth a check in the market on return from a break.

Form: P/24-106

Risk And Roll^p,t⁴⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Bryan Carver⁽⁷⁾| T: P F Nicholls| OR: 126

5/1

Put a disappointing effort behind him when third of six in a novices' handicap chase over 2m4f at Sandown (soft) last time out. Promising amateur in the saddle and is one to note on return to hurdling.

Here's Herbie^t⁸^{(ex 7)}

Age: 11| Weight: 11-0| J: Lucy Gardner| T: Mrs S Gardner| OR: 115

7/2

Winning for the sixth time when successful by 6L over an extended 2m2f at Exeter (good-to-soft) eight days ago. Carries a 7lb penalty for that victory and looks likely to play a leading role once more.

Stowaway Magic^b1,t¹¹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-12| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 120

9/4

Signs of a possible return to form when 6¾L sixth over an extended 2m4f at Ayr (good) earlier this month and races off a mark 10lb lower than for his most recent hurdles success with blinkers tried for the first time.

Gleno²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-10| J: Joshua Moore| T: G & J Moore| OR: 118

85/40

Impressive 17L winner of a handicap hurdle over an extended 2m5f at Wincanton (good) in February and followed up at Sandown (2m4f, soft) the following month. Interesting to see how he fares having disappointed at Market Rasen (good) last time out.

Forecasts

Gleno (85/40), Stowaway Magic (9/4), Here's Herbie (7/2), Risk And Roll (5/1), Canton Prince (8/1)

RISK AND ROLL ran well when placed over fences last time out and he can make a winning return to hurdles. The selection is making just his third handicap start over the smaller obstacles and he can see off Stowaway Magic who wears blinkers for the first time while third place can go to Here's Herbie who was a winner last time out.
