Nachi Falls^v²⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Kieren Buckley⁽⁷⁾| T: N J Hawke| OR: 97| C

11/4

Course winner who got back on scoreboard in 9-runner handicap hurdle at Newton Abbot (16.8f, good) 25 days ago. Still on fair mark despite 6 lb rise and is a big player.

Form: 20/556-1

Fume^t²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-11| J: Joshua Moore| T: G & J Moore| OR: 98

11/4

No impact in 3 hurdles last winter but could do better now sent handicapping and has been in good form on level.

Form: P65-

Incredible Dream^p,t³⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: J M Quinlan| T: C Allen| OR: 94

10/1

Posted creditable third in Southwell handicap (15.8f, good) last month and return to longer trip should suit. Each-way claims. Tongue strap on first time over jumps.

Form: 483P-63

Peltwell²⁷⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: R T Dunne| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 90

14/1

Lightly-raced mare who may have been undone by heavy ground when below form at Southwell last November. However, handicap mark looks stiff enough on return to action.

Form: 93/3624-

Drumreagh^p²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: David Bass| T: K Bailey & M Nicholls| OR: 85

8/1

Runner-up on completed start in Irish points. Offered a little more in this sphere when sixth over longer trip on return at Uttoxeter last month and should be straighter now.

Form: 5909P-6

For Luck^p1⁴²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: D A Jacob| T: B Pauling| OR: 84

8/1

Looks very limited judged on what he's shown in a bumper and 4 runs over hurdles, including on handicap bow at Newton Abbot last month. Cheekpieces now reached for.

Form: 5/008-6

Telegraph Place^p²⁵²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-13| J: Mr Nathan Brennan⁽¹⁰⁾| T: C Gordon| OR: 84

12/1

Modest hurdler who looked badly out of sorts when last seen here in December, so hard to make a strong case for despite a sliding mark.

Form: 055/9P0-

Flashdanza^b1²⁵²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-8| J: James Davies| T: R Rowe| OR: 79

28/1

Well held on the Flat and generally underwhelming as a hurdler. First-time blinkers applied on return to action.

Form: 4P8/5PP-

Ragamuffin⁴³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-6| J: T Scudamore| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 77

11/1

Easy winner of point in January but offered little all 3 starts in this sphere. Remains to be seen if switch to handicapping brings about improvement.

Form: 108-0

Dropzone¹⁷

Age: 11| Weight: 10-0| J: Rex Dingle⁽³⁾| T: B Forsey| OR: 69

50/1

Hasn't won since 2016 and showed nothing on return from lengthy absence on Flat earlier this month. 2 lb out of the handicap.

Form: 447443/

Nachi Falls (11/4), Fume (11/4), For Luck (8/1), Drumreagh (8/1), Incredible Dream (10/1), Ragamuffin (11/1), Telegraph Place (12/1), Peltwell (14/1), Flashdanza (28/1), Dropzone (50/1), Alcock And Brown (50/1)

NACHI FALLS resumed winning ways at Newton Abbot last month and still looks fairly treated on his best form. He is taken to follow up. Fume and Incredible Dream look the likeliest dangers.
