Off time: 18:01 | Winning time: 3m 44.1s

Dream Machine³¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: T Scudamore| T: N P Mulholland

5/2

Victorious three times on the Flat most recently at Windsor (1m2f, good) 12 months ago. Well beaten on seasonal return at Newbury (1m2f, good-to-soft) last month and worth a check in the market on hurdling debut.

Form:

Tilson^b²²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Robert Williams⁽³⁾| T: B J Llewellyn

50/1

Placed in a maiden point-to-point in Ireland in April 2017. Best effort in two Rules starts when beaten 6L in a match over 2m at Chepstow (good) last time out. Blinkers worn for the first time that day are retained.

Form: P3/P82-

Isaac Wonder³³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: Brendan Powell| T: M Scudamore| OR: 115

11/10

Finished runner-up in maiden hurdles the last twice including when beaten 8L in a 16 runner contest at Wetherby (good) last month. Strong claims of going one better in this contest.

Form: 25522-

Barcalona²²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-7| J: H Cobden| T: C L Tizzard

28/1

Well beaten in two starts since joining this stable including over an extended 2m3f at Chepstow (good) last month. Returning from 13 months off the track that day and others make more appeal.

Form: 9478/4-

Dieu Benisse⁴³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-7| J: James Bowen| T: N J Henderson

11/4

Maidena fter seven starts and registered a first completion over hurdles when beaten 22L at Ludlow (2m, good) early last month. Showed ability prior to falling on two starts prior to that and is interesting for a top yard.

Form: FF5-

Peltwell²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-7| J: Millie Wonnacott⁽⁷⁾| T: N P Mulholland

66/1

Held in both starts so far most recently when 80L third of four on hurdling debut at Fontwell (good) last month. Others hold stronger claims.

Form: 93-

Show Of Force¹⁵⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-3| J: Mr Jason Dixon⁽⁷⁾| T: Kieran Burke

20/1

Dual Flat winner but struggled in both starts over hurdles in December. Changed yards since and likely to be of more interest once tackling handicaps.

Form: 48-

Forecasts

Isaac Wonder (11/10), Dream Machine (5/2), Dieu Benisse (11/4), Show Of Force (20/1), Barcalona (28/1), Tilson (50/1), Peltwell (66/1)

ISAAC WONDER looks to have been found a decent opportunity to open his account in this seven runner novice hurdle. The selection who has placed on his two most recent outings is taken to see off his rivals with Dieu Benisse capable of chasing him home. Third place can go the way of Dream Machine who is making his hurdling debut.
