Off time: 12:36 | Winning time: 4m 25.2s

Lester Kris^t²⁷⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: T J O'Brien| T: K Woollacott| OR: 102

20/1

Hit the frame over hurdles for 2 previous stables and back to something like his best when fourth of 14 for this yard at Warwick in November but was pulled up Hereford later that month. Off since.

Form: 3330/4P-

Seaborn²²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: N F Houlihan⁽⁷⁾| T: G & J Moore| OR: 100

8/13

Left an inauspicious reappearance behind him to bolt up in a handicap hurdle at Stratford 22 days ago and, given he's fairly useful on the level, there's still scope for him from new mark.

Form: 745/61

De Barley Basket^t⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: D A Jacob| T: B Pauling| OR: 94

11/1

Point winner who offered minor encouragement in a trio of runs over hurdles last term but looked rather ungainly when only fifth on his seasonal/handicap debut at Newton Abbot 7 days ago.

Form: 31/503-5

The Lincoln Lawyer^p1³⁷²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: Kielan Woods| T: L Morgan| OR: 89

12/1

Fairly useful maiden on Flat. Fair form over hurdles for Charlie Mann. Ended his time with that yard with disappointing efforts and fared no better in 2 runs for Tom Lacey. Has been off a year.

Form: 3P4/409-

Evita Du Mesnil^h,t³²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: Charlie Hammond⁽³⁾| T: Dr R D P Newland| OR: 89WS

18/1

Triple French bumper winner who showed ability over hurdles last year. Disappointing so far this term, though finishing weakly, so has a bit to prove.

Form: 2436-47

Jim Ja^t²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: J M Quinlan| T: J Butler| OR: 88

50/1

Coroner gelding who has been well held on all 4 outings over hurdles, including a novice at Uttoxeter on debut for this stable. Switched to handicaps now but has plenty to find.

Form: 000-9

Indian Harbour^t³⁵⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-11| J: Lucy Gardner| T: Mrs S Gardner| OR: 85

40/1

Some promise in bumpers/novice hurdles but little impact since switched to handicaps. Hard to fancy after 11-month absence.

Form: P0B/P84-

Bridgets Cross¹⁷²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-6| J: Nick Scholfield| T: P Henderson| OR: 80

50/1

Has never really convinced over obstacles, pulled up on her chasing debut at Plumpton when last seen 172 days ago.

Form: 36P80P-

First Man^v⁹^{(ex 7)}

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: P J Brennan| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 69

11/4

Improved markedly in a change of headgear when winning by a wide margin despite being out of the weights at Stratford 9 days ago. Should follow up if he can reproduce that sort of form.

Form: 08-69P1

Forecasts

Seaborn (8/13), First Man (11/4), Fume (10/3), De Barley Basket (11/1), The Lincoln Lawyer (12/1), Evita Du Mesnil (18/1), Lester Kris (20/1), Never A Word (25/1), Indian Harbour (40/1), Jim Ja (50/1), Bridgets Cross (50/1)

SEABORN looked way ahead of the handicapper when scoring at Stratford last time and remains potentially well in based on his Flat achievements, so he's preferred to First Man, whose wide-margin success from out of the weights at the same track means he is officially thrown in under a penalty. Fume, the selection's stablemate, makes most appeal of the others in a race that lacks depth.
