Off time: 12:25 | Winning time: 4m 46.60s

Get Wishing^p,t²¹³

4/1

Good 5L fourth in a handicap hurdle over this C&D on good going in May and had his third wind operation subsequently. Has won first time out in the past and is one for the shortlist in this contest.

Form: 133P4-4

Ishyaboi²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: Jack Tudor| T: Christian Williams| OR: 98

16/1

Put a number of disappointing efforts for this stable behind him when finishing 7L second in first time cheekpieces (absent here) over an extended 2m4f at Southwell (heavy) last time out. Races off the same mark on this occasion.

Form: 469902

Main Fact^h⁶⁰⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: Fergus Gillard⁽³⁾| T: D Pipe| OR: 98

7/1

Successful three times including over an extended 2m3f on heavy ground at Wetherby in March last year. Absent since finishing fourth at Newcastle the following month and market support would be notable on stable debut.

Form: 071P14/

Bells Of Peterboro²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: C J Todd| T: Tim Vaughan| OR: 95

7/1

Decent effort in finishing third over an extended 2m2f at Stratford (soft) on handicap debut in October. Every chance when unseating two out at Ffos Las (2m, soft) last time out and is of interest racing off the same mark.

Form: 550-73U

Ali The Hunter^t⁵⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Luca Morgan| T: J Farrelly| OR: 90

66/1

Victoriou son good-to-firm ground over an extended 2m5f at Wincanton in May. Placed subsequently but finished well beaten over the same trip on good ground here in October on her return from a break. Others make more appeal.

Form: 6-13758

All Good Things^b,t¹⁰^{(ex 7)}

Age: 7| Weight: 10-13| J: Stan Sheppard| T: M Sheppard| OR: 80| D

7/2

Recorded his second career success when winning by 15L over an extended 1m7f at Southwell (soft) last time out. Carries a 7lb penalty for that victory and is a leading player once more.

Form: 870521

Sweeping Rock⁸⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 10-11| J: R Patrick| T: J L Spearing| OR: 85

28/1

Beaten 7L when finishing eighth in a 2m handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (good) in September. Given a break since and races off a mark 9lb lower than for his sole previous hurdles success.

Form: 467-F88

Hold Me Tight^t¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: Mr Joshua Newman| T: P Gundry| OR: 85

20/1

27 race maiden was beaten 55L when fifth over an extended 2m5f at Fontwell (soft) last time out. Probably best watched at present.

Form: 5-26305

Tactical Manoeuvre²⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 10-9| J: Rex Dingle| T: J Scott| OR: 83| BF| C| D

4/1

Sent off favourite when finishing 17½L third in a 3m2f handicap chase at Fontwell (soft) on debut for this yard last month. Races off his 10lb higher hurdles mark here and interesting to see how he performs dropping in trip.

Form: P44P-43

Doodle Dandy²³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-8| J: Tabitha Worsley| T: P Gundry| OR: 82

100/1

13 race maiden has failed to figure in two starts since joining this stable most recently when 52L sixth in a 2m7f handicap hurdle on soft ground here last month.

Form: 9070/06

Foxy Act^v⁴⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 10-7| J: Millie Wonnacott⁽³⁾| T: C J Down| OR: 81| CD

10/1

C&D winner has been running well in defeat this autumn including when 8¾L fourth in a good ground C&D handicap hurdle in October. Given a short break since but likely more needed if she's to take this event.

Form: 7P0434

Bindon Lane^p,t³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-7| J: Harry Reed| T: V R A Dartnall| OR: 81

25/1

Struggled in three starts over hurdles to date most recently when pulling up in first time tongue tie and cheekpieces (both retained) over an extended 2m3f at Chepstow (soft) last month. Market support would be notable on handicap debut.

Form: 009-P

Kahdian^t,v³¹

Age: 9| Weight: 10-6| J: Liam Harrison⁽³⁾| T: B Barr| OR: 80

66/1

Well beaten sixth in a C&D handicap hurdle on soft ground just over a month ago on his first start since rejoining this stable. Others hold stronger claims.

Form: 2-32P06

Just Spot³⁰⁵

Age: 12| Weight: 10-1| J: William Marshall| T: K Bishop| OR: 75

100/1

Beaten 47L when 13th in a 2m3f handicap hurdle at Taunton (soft) in February on her sole start this year. Probably best watched on her seasonal debut.

Form: 036/RP0-

Age: 8| Weight: 10-1| J: Ben Godfrey| T: C J Gray| OR: 75

25/1

Forecasts

All Good Things (7/2), Tactical Manoeuvre (4/1), Get Wishing (4/1), Bells Of Peterboro (7/1), Main Fact (7/1), Foxy Act (10/1), Ishyaboi (16/1), Hold Me Tight (20/1), Bindon Lane (25/1), Bluebell Sally (25/1), Sweeping Rock (28/1), Kahdian (66/1), Ali The Hunter (66/1), Just Spot (100/1), Doodle Dandy (100/1)

GET WISHING has a good record fresh and with a highly promising conditional jockey in the saddle he can make a winning return from wind surgery by defying top weight in this competitive opening handicap hurdle. The selection can get the better of recent winner All Good Things who carries a penalty in this contest while third place can go to Bells Of Peterboro who still held chances when unseating on his most recent outing.
