Ash Park¹³

Age: 12| Weight: 11-12| J: S Mulqueen⁽³⁾| T: W Coltherd| OR: 100| C

16/1

Little impact in 2 starts over fences at the beginning of the year following an 11-month absence and showed nothing on return over hurdles 13 days ago. Hard to fancy.

Form: 33P/P3-6

Ever So Much^p¹¹

Age: 11| Weight: 11-11| J: R P McLernon| T: B Haslam| OR: 99| BF| C

6/1

Capitalised on lower hurdles mark when scoring in decisive fashion at Cartmel last month before poor display over fences at Sedgefield. Still feasibly treated returning to this discipline.

Form: 10P-614

Farm The Rock^p1,t²¹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-7| J: T J O'Brien| T: J Coulson| OR: 95| D

6/1

Out of sorts for Katy Price towards the end of last season and fared no better starting out for new stable 3 weeks ago. Plenty to prove.

Form: 2/P009-P

Robsam²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: R Johnson| T: M Keighley| OR: 94

15/2

Well held in bumpers/over hurdles and but faces a more realistic opportunity now handicapping with Richard Johnson booked.

Form: 6/667-3

David John²³

Age: 9| Weight: 11-5| J: Sam Coltherd⁽³⁾| T: J K Hunter| OR: 93

10/1

Runner-up for this yard at Kelso last autumn but he's been below that level since.

Form: 26/75-57

African Glory³⁵

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

22/1

Ex-pointer who is yet to make an impact under Rules but is entitled to show more now handicapping for the first time. Not completely dismissed.

Form: PF55-07

King Golan^b¹³

Age: 9| Weight: 10-13| J: Alison Clarke⁽⁷⁾| T: Kenny Johnson| OR: 87| C| D

20/1

Dual 3m chase winner last summer but has looked badly out of sorts over both sets of obstacles this season.

Form: P52-6PP

Short Flight^b1³⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-12| J: Henry Brooke| T: Daniel Brooke| OR: 86

17/2

Modest 22f winner over hurdles in 2018. Off 23 months and showed little over fences last term. Hard to warm to.

Form: 6715/89

Hally's Kitchen^t²³

Age: 8| Weight: 10-10| J: Ross Chapman| T: Justin Landy| OR: 84

25/1

Didn't achieve anything of note over hurdles for Fiona Shaw in 2018. Also pulled up in a point before falling on first outing for current stable.

Form: 6658/P-F

Kymata³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-9| J: Aaron Anderson⁽⁷⁾| T: Sean Conway| OR: 83

3/1

Modest in bumper performer who matched that level for the first time over hurdles when second at Market Rasen last month. Will be suited by this stiff track, so she's one to consider.

Form: 656P-52

Farlam King^t²⁶³

Age: 7| Weight: 10-7| J: Dale Irving⁽³⁾| T: M A Barnes| OR: 81

16/1

Poor maiden hurdler who was out of sorts when last seen 8 months ago. Hard to make a case for.

Form: 4662P9-

Shaiyzar^p²³

Age: 11| Weight: 10-7| J: William Shanahan⁽⁷⁾| T: D Thompson| OR: 81

20/1

Halted record of non-completions when third to Top Billing over C&D in July, then struggled from out of the weights at Cartmel 23 days ago. Not ruled out from fair mark.

Form: FFP-P35

Saint Jude^p¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: Danny McMenamin⁽³⁾| T: A Wilson| OR: 74

11/1

Well beaten in bumper for Oliver Sherwood and similar story over hurdles for current yard.

Form: 0/0-974

Forecasts

Kymata (3/1), Ever So Much (6/1), Farm The Rock (6/1), Robsam (15/2), Short Flight (17/2), That's My Dubai (10/1), David John (10/1), Saint Jude (11/1), Ash Park (16/1), Farlam King (16/1), Shaiyzar (20/1), King Golan (20/1), African Glory (22/1), Hally's Kitchen (25/1), Dorothy's Flame (50/1)

KYMATA looked well suited by the step up in trip when second at Market Rasen a month ago and this stiffer track could bring even more out of her, so she's taken to get off the mark in a race where the majority arrive out of sorts. Ever So Much remains on a fair hurdling mark and should be considered along with handicap-debutant Robsam.
