Emma Lamb⁶⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Bryony Le Clerc| T: Dr R D P Newland| OR: 102| BF

9/4

Promising sort for Jed O'Keefe and seemed to be taking his time for this yard before good second at Taunton (2m) last time out. Off the same mark in this so is dangerously poised.

Form: 4-34592

Percy Prosecco¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Miss Brodie Hampson⁽³⁾| T: A Watson| OR: 100| BF| CD

4/1

C&D winner back in October 2018 and since won the flat twice. Not as good with 29L defeat at Stratford (2m) when last seen over jumps. Few spins on the Flat since with no success and may be in the grip of the handicap.

Form: 144P7-6

Comber Mill^h,t⁴⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-10| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽⁵⁾| T: A Ralph| OR: 98| D

12/1

Regressed since some promising efforts at Uttoxeter during the autumn and returned to that course with poor 46L seventh at that track (2m) last time. Down 4lb but seems to need a bounce back.

Form: 1-934P7

Ace Cheetah^t,v1³⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Emma Smith-Chaston⁽⁷⁾| T: J R Jenkins| OR: 92

33/1

Rank outsider and highly-tried in previous hurdle starts to date. Well down the field at 200/1 at Doncaster (2m) in early February and while this is easier, he's still hard to make a case for.

Form: 654-870

Local Affair²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: Katie O'Farrell⁽⁵⁾| T: C E Longsdon| OR: 98

8/1

Not gone on since Listed-placed third at Aintree in December and bombed out over this distance in similar handicap hurdle over C&D on latest start. Has a bit to prove but likely to set the fractions.

Form: 4338F9

Midnight Jitterbug³⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 10-9| J: Lily Pinchin⁽⁷⁾| T: M R Bosley| OR: 83

10/3

17-race maiden with far from convincing form book. Last two efforts have been promising though including fourth over C&D last month and dropped 1lb since. Not without hope.

Form: 33-0F54

Galactic Power^p⁹⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 10-9| J: Ceris Biddle⁽¹⁰⁾| T: R Dickin| OR: 83| CD

8/1

Promising fifth here in February 2019 but way out of form since. Last of 10 in 3m handicap hurdle at Taunton last time and will need plenty more to be considered with a drastic drop in trip.

Form: 65B-070

Shadow's Girl^p³⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 10-7| J: Page Fuller⁽³⁾| T: B J Llewellyn| OR: 81| BF| D

12/1

Last win came at Chepstow in November before last seen finishing 9L runner up in similar contest at Plumpton (2m) in February. Since ran on the AW in Ireland and looks well in off current mark.

Form: 451572

Monzino¹⁶

Age: 12| Weight: 10-0| J: Miss J I Bedi⁽⁷⁾| T: M C Chapman| OR: 72

200/1

Rank outsider in each start to date and last in each of past three starts. Tailed off in 1m Southwell handicap last time and faces incredibly difficult task on return to hurdles.

Form: 3/4P8R-P

Forecasts

Emma Lamb (9/4), Midnight Jitterbug (10/3), Percy Prosecco (4/1), Local Affair (8/1), Galactic Power (8/1), Comber Mill (12/1), Shadow's Girl (12/1), Ace Cheetah (33/1), Monzino (200/1)

SHADOW'S GIRL has been starting to progress once again as of late and looks really well handicapped for this contest. Her recent second at Plumpton seemingly sets the form standard and with a mammoth weight allowance to her nearest rival, she looks the one to beat. Emma Lamb is set to be her main rival on her recent Taunton effort and is off the same mark in this, while the likes Midnight Jitterbug and Comber Mill have some leniency in the weights but needs to have bounce backs.
