Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Sean Quinlan| T: P A Kirby| OR: 118

7/2

Good second over 2m4f at Carlisle (soft) on seasonal debut in October but disappointed next time out. Fallen the last twice including two out when 5L third over 2m3f at Haydock (heavy) last month.

Form: 41-20FF

Enfin Phil^p¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: Alain Cawley| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 116

3/1

Stepped up on his return from wind surgery when finishing ½L second in a 2m4f handicap hurdle at Sedgefield (soft) last month. Races off a 2lb higher mark here and is an interesting runner in this contest.

Form: 424-642

Captain Woodie⁵⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-9| J: J McGrath| T: N J Henderson| OR: 115

9/4

Ran well when finishing 13L second in a 2m novice hurdle at Warwick (soft) in November. Given a short break since and is one for the shortlist stepping back up in trip on handicap debut.

Form: 141/7-72

Get Help²⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: Sam Coltherd⁽³⁾| T: W Coltherd| OR: 115

9/1

Well held 33L third in a 3m1f maiden hurdle at Carlisle (soft) last month. Dropping back in trip off a mark 4lb lower than when finishing 7L sixth at Haydock (2m3f, soft) on his penultimate start.

Yes No Maybe So²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Craig Nichol| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 110

8/1

Beaten 34L when finishing fourth in a novice hurdle over an extended 2m at Bangor (heavy) last time out. Market support would be notable stepping up in distance on handicap debut.

Form: 317-254

Remember The Man²⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-10| J: Bryony Frost| T: N B King| OR: 102

13/2

Disappointing 48L fourth in a handicap hurdle over an extended 2m4f at Southwell (heavy) last time out. Worth a check in the market racing off a 3lb lower mark in this race.

Form: P-75444

Forecasts

Captain Woodie (9/4), Enfin Phil (3/1), Im Too Generous (10/3), Romeo Brown (7/2), Groveman (5/1), Remember The Man (13/2), Yes No Maybe So (8/1), Get Help (9/1)

IM TOO GENEROUS has been in good form in recent times and the gelidng can record his third victory of the season by taking the concluding handicap hurdle. The selection is taken to get the better of Captain Woodie who is making his handicap debut for a top yard while third place can go to Groveman who is dropping in grade.
