10/3

Took very well to hurdling last summer, completing hat-trick in handicap at Bangor and added to tally from the front at Stratford a month ago. Up 4 lb but should give it another good shot.

Form: 1120-41

Prefontaine^b⁹

16/1

Useful Flat performer who, refitted with blinkers, got off the mark at the third attempt over hurdles at Kempton (2m) in October. Fit from a Flat spin last week but mark looks too high.

Form: U21762-

Ingleby Hollow^t¹⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-11| J: Bryan Carver⁽⁵⁾| T: D O'Meara| OR: 126| CD

4/1

Fairly useful under both codes, fit from a spin on the Flat at Pontefract and shaped quite well when fourth at Market Rasen last month, held back by a couple of errors.

Form: 18/333-4

Golden Town⁴⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 11-10| J: Charlotte Jones⁽⁷⁾| T: James Moffatt| OR: 125| CD

14/1

Back-to-back handicap winner in 2019 and improved again for latest success at Perth in July. Well on top that day so a 9 lb rise is perfectly fair.

Form: P/1137-1

Swaffham Bulbeck^t⁸^{(ex 7)}

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: Jack Tudor⁽⁵⁾| T: B Ellison| OR: 118| CD

10/11

Winner of claiming hurdle on final run for Olly Murphy. Little show in 4 runs for Conor Dore but right back on his game when a stylish winner over C&D last week. Huge player under a penalty.

Form: 2841-51

Laskadine¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-5| J: R P McLernon| T: B Haslam| OR: 106

40/1

Made a winning British debut in January 2019 but continues to fall in the weights without showing any sign of taking advantage for current yard.

Form: P667-00

Forecasts

Swaffham Bulbeck (10/11), See The Sea (10/3), Ingleby Hollow (4/1), Blooriedotcom (10/1), Golden Town (14/1), Prefontaine (16/1), Laskadine (40/1)

SWAFFHAM BULBECK went with plenty of verve when making his first hurdles start for Brian Ellison a winning one over this C&D a week ago and a penalty shouldn't prevent a very bold follow-up bid. There is depth to this handicap despite the field size, with Ingleby Hollow and See The Sea feared most.
