Well beaten 31L fifth in a soft ground handicap hurdle over 2m at Ludlow at the end of February. Step up in trip a positive and is an interesting runner with good ground forecast in her favour.
22 race maiden was beaten 31L when last of 11 on the Flat at Chelmsford last month. Placed in a maiden hurdle on good ground last season and isn't written off completely on handicap debut.
Making his first start since wind surgery when finishing runner-up over 2m4f at Fakenham (good) in March. Races off a 2lb higher mark here and is one for the shortlist in this contest.
Shown ability in all five starts to date including when 25L fifth in a soft ground 2m novice hurdle at Ludlow in January. Step up in distance looks likely to suit and she is an interesting contender on her first start in handicap company.
Winner of four point-to-point races but has been absent since finishing 24L sixth over fences at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) last July. Market support would be notable on this occasion.
Maiden after nine starts but ran well when 12L fourth over an extended 2m4f at Southwell (heavy) in March. Placed on good ground in the past and is an interesting runner on his seasonal reappearance.
Well beaten in two hurdles starts for this yard late last year and it's been a similar story in staying handicaps on the AW in recent times. Others hold more obvious claims on her return to jumping.
Seven race maiden was beaten 7¼L when fourth over an extended 2m5f at Newton Abbot (good) last week. Drops in trip with the blinkers worn for the first time that day retained.
Successful over an extended 2m2f at Stratford (good) in a first time visor last July. Disappointing on her most recent hurdles start however and blinkers worn successfully in the past return on her first start since an outing on the Flat in March.
Victorious off higher marks in the past but struggled on the Flat when last in action and is probably best watched on stable debut and first start over jumps since finishing eighth at Hereford (good-to-soft) in March last year.
Struggled in five starts so far most recently when pulled up on handicap debut at Ffos Las (2m4f, heavy) in December. Others hold more obvious claims in this event.
Eight race maiden pulled up in a handicap hurdle over an extended 3m at Doncaster (good-to-soft) in January. Absent since and is worth a check in the market having placed on good ground when trained in Ireland last year.
Forecasts
Present Chief (6/4), Prussia With Love (9/4), No Cruise Yet (7/1), Cheltenam De Vaige (8/1), Goldrapper (16/1), On The Quiet (18/1), Dora's Field (18/1), Hen (18/1), Knight Commander (20/1), Mood For Mischief (50/1), Black Market (80/1), Illdoittomorrow (100/1)
PRUSSIA WITH LOVE should appreciate the step up in trip here and she can register her first career success by taking this handicap hurdle. The selection hails from a top yard and she can get the better of Present Chief who shaped like an improved performer when placed on his first start since wind surgery last time out. Third place can go to Goldrapper who has shown a liking for the forecast good going in the past.
