Age: 7|  Weight: 11-11| J: Tom Buckley(7)| T: N J Hawke| OR:  105
12/1
Winner at Taunton off 1lb higher mark last term but not the most consistent so far, including 17L eighth at Kempton (2m5f) in February. Has a bit more to find off top weight.

Czech Her Outt12
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-11| J: Brendan Powell| T: M Scudamore| OR:  105
13/2
Promising sort despite some hefty turnovers. Made winning reappearance when 2L winner at Stratford (2m) 12 days ago and has workable opening mark for handicap debut. Leading claims.

5/1
Formerly trained in Ireland and last win came at Limerick in June 2019. Not beaten far when fifth in 2m Dundalk handicap in December and interesting to see how he shapes for yard/British debut.

Highland Bobbyh14
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-8| J: Mr James King(5)| T: O Murphy| OR:  102| BF
14/1
Generally held form well since Southwell victory (2m) in July 2019 but was a no show when unseating at the first on reappearance at Uttoxeter (2m) this month. On the shortlist on previous form.

Age: 11|  Weight: 11-7| J: C Brace(3)| T: C R Dore| OR:  94| CD
11/4
Multiple hurdles winner. Showed he remains in good heart when game winner of Southwell handicap hurdle (2m) six days ago. Goes unpenalised in this. Solid contender.
6
Horse silk
Pinchpoint261
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-6| J: J M Quinlan| T: J Butler| OR:  100
40/1
Very little promise in form book on the Flat or over hurdles, including 34L defeat at Ascot (2m) in November. Not seen since and plenty to do on debut in this sphere.

Horse silk
Let's Swayt168
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-6| J: Charlie Hammond(3)| T: S Corbett| OR:  100
10/1
Good third at Wetherby (2m, soft) on Boxing Day and similarly ran to that level when 8L third at Carlisle on latest start in February (2m1f). Place claims if able to replicate that form.
8
Horse silk
Christopher Robin141
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-5| J: Mr Tommie M O'Brien(5)| T: T Lacey| OR:  99
16/1
Very little to shout about in six starts for this yard, including 68L defeat at Huntingdon (2m) on last start in March. Makes very limited appeal on paper in this company.
9
Horse silk
Throckleyt221
Age: 9|  Weight: 11-5| J: Benjamin Poste| T: Katy Price| OR:  99
66/1
Winner at Worcester last term but hasn't gone on since, including 25L fifth at Taunton (2m) on last start in December. Back into handicap company with a fair bit to find.
10
Horse silk
Aleatoric14
Age: 4|  Weight: 11-2| J: Nick Scholfield| T: Martin Smith| OR:  98
20/1
Winner over staying distances on the flat and markedly outran 150/1 odds when third at Uttoxeter (2m) this month. Remains unexposed and goes on the shortlist.
11
Horse silk
Swilly Sunset165
Age: 7|  Weight: 11-1| J: Harry Bannister| T: A M Hales| OR:  95
5/1
Yet to break his duck over hurdles but running some promising races. Not as good when 10L fifth at Huntingdon (2m) latest but place claims on best form.
12
Horse silk
Love The Well335
Age: 9|  Weight: 11-0| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: A M Hales| OR:  94
11/1
Had only modest form when trained in Ireland, culminating with 25L defeat in Sligo handicap hurdle (2m) in August 2019. Absent since and best watched on first start for this yard.

Forecasts

Collodi (11/4), Lleyton (5/1), Swilly Sunset (5/1), Czech Her Out (13/2), Let's Sway (10/1), Love The Well (11/1), Mead Vale (12/1), Highland Bobby (14/1), Christopher Robin (16/1), Aleatoric (20/1), Pinchpoint (40/1), Throckley (66/1)

Verdict

A handicap which plenty seem to have positive claims ahead of the contest. Czech Her Out comes into the contest off the back of a good victory last time out but has yet to string a set of good runs together, while Aleatoric remains completely unexposed given his impressive run last time out at mammoth odds and Highland Bobby has some form of promise. However, preference is for COLLODI to add another quick-fire victory to his name. He goes off the same mark for his victory last time and this looks a fine bit of placement by his trainer with a very much in-form horse.
